Sorry I'm talking about a glitch in a very old Orbiter version, but there's a weird graphical glitch (I've never seen anyone else experience it before!), where sometimes when I start a scenario, the sky is blue as normal. However, when I switch views, the sky turns black. However, the lighting doesn't change, and you can see the stars, but it's been nagging me for so long...   :wall: anyone knows how to fix it?
EDIT: Btw, if you are wondering if I "pirated" the simulator, I didn't. First off, I'm not a pirating person, and second, the simulator is free anyway, so I don't think there is any way to actually illegally pirate it. (anyway, illegal stuff outta the way)
EDIT 2: Also, for some reason, vessels just disappear completly (they are still there, but you can't see them), and never come back... (tho it happens rarely, but it still stalks me)

Hello,

The only answer i can find for this problems (on this forum), is missing msvcp71.dll and msvcr71.dll in your Windows System/System32 directories. Do you run Orbiter 2006 (v060929) on an old Windows, like XP ?

Orbiter 2006 is running fine on my Windows 10, although i didn't have this 2 DLL in my Windows\System32 or in the Orbiter root directory. Orbiter 2010 and 2016 have this files in their root directories, coming with the packages.

I'm running it on a Windows 10, might be worth my time checking if these dll files are in System32...
EDIT: Yep, no such file in the directory, at least Windows Explorer's search function can't find it...

nevermind, managed to fix it. i dont know why i didnt listen to milouse before, but it seems like adding msvcp71.dll and msvcr71.dll to the orbiter root directory fixed the problem. thanks for helping me out!  :)
