TransX Crashes

[Giuse101]

Hello, everytime I load TransX in the last Orbiter Beta, it just shows Initializing and just crashes orbiter.

Any workaround?

Thanks.

On Orbithangar it says :

Requires

Module MessagingExt
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable

Are you sure you have both ?

 

[Giuse101]

So I just checked and I have both. Maybe I have the wrong version of TransX? Which version works with the last Orbiter beta?

 

[Sbb1413]

The latest TransX works with Orbiter 2016. I have not tested it with Orbiter beta yet.

any updates there?
TransX does not work with Orbiter beta r90.
R90 is quite stable and available for quite a long time. Most Orbiter 2016 addons I am using works with R90.
Could we have TransX updated to work also?

Or at least any workaround?

Yes...of course. Since the source-code is provided in the zip-file, nobody would stop you if you re-compile the included sources using latest Orbiter Beta API.

Maybe my reply sounds a bit harsh, but I don't expect Enjo to re-compile all of his addons for every Orbiter Beta version (+it's depencies).
So it's great that we have full access to the sources and can try to play around with them.

Maybe the easiest solution might be a new standard-non-beta-Orbiter2016 install.
So you can run the side-by-side.
To avoid HD-disk-space-waste, you could use symbolic links (junction.exe ?...not sure... sorry I am on Linux) to point to jut one hugh texture-folder.

You can use junction.exe (from SYSINTERNALS) or the windows 10 (available since "Creators update") build-in ''mklink".
The usage is pretty similar:
junction Link Target
mklink /J Link Target

Saving space with multiple orbiter installations

Since multiple orbiter installations seem to be quite popular, and can take a significant amount of disk space, it occurred to me that many people may not be aware of a fairly easy way to save space: Most of the disk space of an orbiter installation is taken up by the Textures and Textures2...
