Hey guys, I have Macbook and Parallels for Mac and just got a copy of Windows. Now, I'm running it in Coherence mode as I think its a bit more convenient than running it in the whole virtual machine in a different window. I've tried several games already and they seem to work without any hitches. I start the orbiter.exe file and it too runs without incident. After the Orbiter Launchpad opens however, no scenarios show up. I'm not exactly sure if this is a problem with how I downloaded it, a problem with Parallels, or a stupid mistake on my part. If it helps any, no modules show up either.

Thanks in advance!

Just for the record, you have *.scn files in the Scenarios folder, no?
 
Yup, they all seem to be there. I even tried dragging the demo scenario file into the Launchpad and it still didn't work.

Oh, I found the problem. When I was running it in Coherence mode, I was running it from the desktop of my OS X. I put Vista back into a separate window and loaded it from that desktop and they all showed up. Windows and Mac never play nice so maybe it just didn't find the right folder? Or perhaps it didn't think to share it between the OS X and virtual machine? Anyway, I made sure to make an extra copy on the Windows disk and ran it from there

I put it back into Coherence mode and started it. And it works! Sorry for the false alarm, all. Stupid me. :lol:
