I contacted Support for Duet Display, and they said that their program is not compatible with hardware acceleration. Here's the response I received:

I found the problem!!! The conflict is coming from a program called "Duet Display." https://www.duetdisplay.com/ It's a program that lets you use your iPad as an external monitor. But it looks like it has some unintended side-effects when it comes to Orbiter and MS Flight simulator...

Yes, Orbiter did run fine out of the box. I know something did change on my system, but at this point I'm at a loss as to what. However, Orbiter isn't the only program that I'm having this problem with. Microsoft Flight Simulator X now refuses to recognize the graphics card. The Sansar VR...

Sorry for the delay in getting back to everyone on this. I bought a new computer, and had Orbiter running fine - for a few days. But now I seem to have run into the same problem, except this time I have more information. Orbiter2016 doesn't seem to be seeing my Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070...

I went into the Orbiter_2016/Install folder and ran vcredist_x86.exe. After first trying to repair the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributals, I then tried uninstalling, then reinstalling them. Unfortunately, I'm still in the same place - A spinning cursor when I try to launch...

@Kuddel - I did as you suggested and installed the DirecX Runtimes. Unfortunately, I'm still facing the same problem - When I run orbiter_ng.exe, all I get is a spinning cursor. When I used the task manager to shut the Orbiter process down, it said that orbiter.exe was not responding. This is...

I edited my previous post to reduce it. With Orbiter, I created the symbolic links, and tried installing DirectX 9.03, but on that I received a message that "DirectX setup has determined that a newer or equivalent version of DirectX has been installed already. No installation is necessary."...

Okay - I think I have a lead on the problem. Orbiter 2010 & 2016 don't seem to be compatible with DirectX 12. I've run into a similar problem with Microsoft Flight Simulator X-Acceleration. That program won't run unless I check the Preview DirectX 10 box under the Visual Display Settings tab...

I completely removed all of my video drivers, then reinstalled fresh. Unfortunately, I'm getting the same problem - A white screen when I try to launch Orbiter 2016 from the menu. So I tried completely uninstalling Orbiter 2010 & 2016, and doing a fresh reinstall using the msi installer. Same...

Hello Everyone, It's been a while since I did anything in Orbiter, but recently when I tried to start it, I was greeted with a white screen when I started a scenario. I have tried this with both Orbiter 2016 & 2010 with the same result. I even tried downloading a clean copy of Orbiter 2016...

When I looked through the Black Friday ads I spotted the Kindle Fire-7 (8Gb) on sale for $30. I know they're Android based, and it looks like there's a program for using an Android tablet as a second monitor: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.idisplay.virtualscreen&hl=en Are...

I have that PDF, thanks - It's were I found the numbers I posted. There's two detailed sets of blueprints over at Realspacemodels.com. I guess if I'm serious I'll have to break down and get them... In the mean time, I'll put the info I do have into a 3d model and see where that gets me.

Hey Everyone, For some reason, I've got it in my head to build a life-sized interior of the Apollo Lunar Module. I found a great scan of all of the switches and displays of the LM, but what I don't know is how big the panels are. http://heroicrelics.org/info/lm/lm-ctrl-panel.html I have...

Thanks! I really just want to be able to fly the Delta Glider to Skylab, so I don't need an Apollo spacecraft. :)

Hello Everyone! A long time ago (maybe around 2003) I used to use the NASA Skylab space station as another space station to practice rendezvous and docking with. Does anyone know where I can find Skylab for Orbiter 2016? Thanks, -Tc
