Phobos not there???

[SpaceShipOne]

I am trying to do the Trip to Phobos tutorial (from Dan Orbiter page) but when I play the playback movie (and also when I do the flight by myself) Phobos is simply... not there. I opened a glider IV scenario from Phobos to Mars and one more time, it's not displayed on the screen. I only see a black sky. Can anyone help?

I am using orbiter 2006.

Thx

Is the sky on every planet black ? if so, try following this: http://www.orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?t=11086

I mean that Phobos is simply not there. All I see when I arrive near it is a normal sky with stars in space. On the MAP MFD, its orbit path is like a big U form on the Mars map and the yellow cross, saying where Phobos should be, is not moving.

Maybe it hit Mars sooner than expected...

Problems with the two moons of MARS

O-F Staff Note: Duplicate 'Problems with the two moons of MARS' thread (the next five posts) merged with this thread.

Hi, COuld someone help me with that one??? I keep trying to do scenarios with Mars and its two moons (either the Phobos orbital scenarios on the main Orbiter scenarios and a standard trip near Deimos) and Dan's trip to Phobos tutorials. Problem is that those two moons don't even appear in space! I tried to reinstall Orbiter (I am using the 2006 060929 versions with no adds on except SpaceShipOne) but it does not change anyting.

What is strange is that they are both there on Orbiter 2010.

Help appreciated! Thanx in advance

Are they not showing up at all or not showing up in planetarium mode?

Are they not there at all, or are they just not where you expect them to be?

At first, I tought that I simply did navigations problem. But the I tried the Dan trip to the Phobos scenario and I saw the playback movie (to be sure I was not doing any mystake). But they are not in the sky or not in the F9 sky view neither.

Try going into scenario editor and manually placing a vessel on the ground on one of them.

In Orbiter 2006, phobos.dll and deimos.dll were linked against MSVC{R,P}71, while in Orbiter 2010 they are linked against MSVC{R,P}80. Presumably you haven't got the 7.1 versions of the runtime libraries installed on your system, although it is curious that you are not reporting any of the other known anomalies of the missing libraries (black sky, etc).
(Note that the 7.1 runtime libraries are included with Orbiter 2010, so you could just copy them over to your 2006 installation.)

Try running dependency walker on phobos.dll and deimos.dll to confirm if the libraries are missing.
