Compatibility: Orbiter 2010, Orbiter 2016



D3D9Client Project is a graphics client upgrade from the DX7 client supplied with the standard Orbiter Spaceflight Simulator created by jarmonik. Discussion can be accessed at this thread at Orbiter-forum, and also at at tuttovola.org.

According to the kymp site and the forum thread:

  • DirectX redistributable package is required to run D3D9, accessible from Microsoft, if your computer does not already have it. Download and unpack to any desired empty directory, then run the Setup.exe that comes with the package. After running the .exe file, the folder and contents may be deleted entirely as desired.
  • Several packages are available, 3 for Orbiter 2010-P1, 5 for Orbiter 2016, and 5 for Orbiter Beta.
  • Download and unpack to the Orbiter root folder
  • Launch Orbiter from Orbiter_ng.exe rather than Orbiter.exe
  • From the launchpad, select the Modules tab and activate the D3D9 client
  • Select the Video tab, select the Advanced button
  • Surface texture load options, it is recommended to select the Load on demand item
  • On the lower left of the dialog box, select the Create symbolic links button
