Problem MFD modules not working under Linux

[Locutus]

Hello, I am running Orbiter with the latest verion of Wine on Ubuntu 14.04. There are several MFD modules that aren't working. Here is the log:

**** Closing simulation session

Is there something I have to install that will make this work? Please help me! I really want to try out Hover MFD and Launch MFD.
Also when I open Active Scanner MFD the game crashes.

I tried installing vcredist 2005 but I think it's already installed, and it didn't work.

 

[ADSWNJ]

Yes - the "something" to install is Windows 8 (or 7), and I suspect it will work straight away.

Seriously - this is an entire platform written for Windows, with API's written for Windows too. Whilst there is many a brave soul out there trying to emulate this simulation, using Windows API emulation etc. on Linux, you either need to treat this as a science project and try to figure it out (e.g. much later vc redists, better DirectX versions), or just run on a Windows desktop or laptop.

 

[Matias Saibene]

Have you tried following this method of installation?

I recommend to start with a facility quite functional (at least worked for me with few errors).

I'm not going to pay $150 just to play Orbiter. I'm fine with Ubuntu.

2 of the modules you use and which didn't load most likely require ModuleMessaging & HUDDrawer/VesselHooking, which aren't included with them in their archive, so you may need to add them to the Orbiter installation if you haven't already. Other 2 that didn't load may require use of native vcredist libraries instead of WINE's.

Additionally try switching renderer to "Wine D3D7 T&L HAL", if it isn't set this way. The log lists no hardware T&L capability, which may also cause problems for example with local light sources.

Have a look on Amazon (cheapest ~$80), or eBay (bids as low as ~$40). Or not...

OPs choice I guess. Im certainly not much of a windows fan myself, but having a copy of Windows installed on your machine is useful so that you can run programs with less hassle. I develop all of my applications to be cross-platform, but the easiest distribution mode still is compiled windows executables that end-users can unpack from a zip/rar & run right away.

It might be useful for me Matias, TMac, and anyone else who is interested to knock heads together around Christmastime and create a general guide to running Orbiter under Wine emulation. Was that not done already?

 

[Matias Saibene]

I made a small guide, based on my experience, and it has worked well. I am not a computer technician, but I think that my experience can be recreated and used to run Orbiter with the fewest errors.
When finished (soon) school, I'll try other solutions with PlayOnLinux, virtual drives and other options. I recently tried to run Midtown Madness 2 (a racing game of 2000 which I love) and it has worked perfectly (obviously installing some components, but nothing difficult), while in Windows 7 not working.

Ok I know I am necroposting but since I have been here I have managed to fix this issue once, now I am doing it again, I have installed the 64 bit version of vcredist from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=26347 and I ran this command, which is a combination of 2 orbiter on linux tutorials:

winetricks corefonts vcrun2005 vcrun2008 vcrun2010 vcrun6 d3dx10 d3dx9_36

I tested orbiter after running the command, and hover MFD works fine now, although launch mfd doesn't work but I don't have HUDDrawer SDK and ModuleMessaging SDK installed yet.

EDIT: Nvm it works fine, I didn't notice it in the list before, also installed the SDKs
