i don't think orbiter likes my pc.

[rocketdued]

for some reason i can't run orbiter. i tried doing some stuff with the deltaglider. but the simulation kept crashing. i know my computer passes the requirements. but it won't run any ways.

Is it random crashes? Or is it when you do something in particular when using the sim?

I used to get random crashes when using local light sources - it could be that?

 

[rocketdued]

no i was trying to do the scenrario deltaglider acent autopiolt. but it would just go to a black screen flash a few time then crash. then i would get a message saying my display driver has crashed and recoverd. i also tried to do space station building and that one didn't work either.

It sounds like a video driver or display settings problem. Can you please post the contents of your Orbiter.log and Orbiter.cfg files? Also, please list the model of your video card as well as your system stats (CPU, RAM, OS version, etc.)

If it crashes again, open your "Orbiter.log" file with notepad, copy the whole content and post it here.

 

[rocketdued]

ok will do.

Does your display driver crash during other DirectX applications?

Your computer specs are up to par.
