graphics problem involving transparent ships

[0235]

sometimes this happes to a ship

is there any way of solving and if it helps i have put the star count up on purpose, but it still happens with an extreamly low star count of 500 and i also have a VERY low end machine that can only just run orbiter

Well as you said your computer can barely run orbiter so it's very likely that your video card (or lack of) is unable to display the ship.

You will have to give more information though, such as does this happen with stock ships (delta glider?) and in all locations, such as on the surface of the earth? see if the problem occurs with a purely stock standard orbiter instalation.

You also stated it happens sometimes, how often does it happen?


Im no expert and i probably wont be able to answer your questions, but by giving a bit more information someone who does know about this kind of thing might be able to help you.

it happens with all ships, and only when in space, not when on the surface, or in "atmospere, and it happens alot, but my graphics card is rubbish, so that is probarbly why

Try putting the following DLLs into the orbiter folder:

msvcp71.dll
msvcr71.dll
msvcrtd.dll
