Search the [http://orbiter-forum.com forum] to get the latest DX9 Client for Orbiter 2016. Once we reach a stable Orbiter release, the DX9 Client link might get fixed. Currently a stable version is available at [http://users.kymp.net/~p501474a/D3D9Client/ Jarmonik's private page]

Full screen mode works faster for the same resolution as in the windowed mode, but it may block keyboard entirely when you operate on dialog boxes. In that case, you have to kill the orbiter.exe process by switching to another virtual console via Ctrl+Alt+F1, logging in and typing:
 
−
<pre>
 
−
killall orbiter.exe
 
−
</pre>

next switch back to X via Ctrl+Alt+F7

If you have missing textures with DX9 client and orbiter crashes with DX7 client, you maybe have missing dxtn library. It outputs following on console:
 
−
 
 
−
fixme:d3d:wined3d_dxtn_init Wine cannot find the txc_dxtn library, DXTn software support unavailable.
 
−

On Fedora, you need to install <tt>libtxc_dxtn.i686</tt> package.
