Now, I really haven't followed the orbiter scene for a while, and even when I did it was mostly over here and not on the main forum.
Still, I thought I'd get my current PC running orbiter for old time's sake. I've done some looking but it seems that all my old orbiter data is obsolete now... I guess when the DGIII was updated the skins were made obsolete, too? I have the most recent 2010 version now, but well... I'm hesitant to run any old stuff if these newfangled DirectX clients will not run them properly.
For now I'll just try the new and add old stuff one by one. That and I stubbornly want the ultra-high level textures available now. Level 14? 8o I can't seem to find those, though. the link on the main orbiter site for High Level textures is an apparently dead site. I'm sure the old planetary texture data I have (at level 10-11) will carry over though.
Reconfiguring all the stuff with extra features is quite daunting!! (amazing what's gone on while I've been inactive. I tip my hat to you, Dan!.
)
Any advice/tips/chocolate cake? Especially on this Christmas Edition stuff. I think the older DGIV is still an update for me.
Once I get this up and running I'll do a test flight. Maybe do a run to show the kids how to do things.
