I have tried to enable the D3D9 client. I did just as suggested, I go to orbiter_ng.exe and everytime I try to enable I get a notice to pop and it says "This application has failed to start because d3dx9_42.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." I have tried reinstalling multiple times but to the same result. Please help.
My apologies if this same topic has been posted and solved already.
 
From the manual:

D3D9Client.pdf said:
DirectX Runtimes:

If the redistributable package isn't installed in your computer you will receive an error message "The
program can't start because d3dx9_42.dll is missing from your computer". Or you may see a pop-up
window in Orbiter LaunchPad telling about a missing runtimes. If that happens then download and extract
the content of the package in any empty directory you want and then find a Setup.exe and run it. You can
delete the contents of the directory after the setup is completed. The directory is just a temporary storage
for the installation files.
