Try stencil buffer: Enables stencil buffering, if the video mode supports it. Stencil buffers can
improve various visual effects (for example, provide support for alpha-blended shadows), but
have a slight impact on frame rates. If the selected video mode doesn’t support stencil
buffers, this option is ignored.
Full Screen: Select this option to run Orbiter in fullscreen mode. You can choose the screen
resolution and colour depth from the lists provided. Only modes supported by the selected
device are listed here. Higher resolution and colour depth will improve the visual appearance
at the cost of reduced performance.
In addition, you can select the Disable vertical sync option. This allows Orbiter to update a
frame without waiting for a synchronisation signal from the monitor. This can improve frame
rates, but may lead to visual artefacts (tearing).
Window: Select this option to run Orbiter in a window. You can specify the size of the render
window here. For best results, use a width:height ratio close to 4:3 (or tick the Force 4:3 aspect
ratio button to keep the optimal aspect ratio). Large window sizes can reduce simulation
performance. Note that some older graphics drivers may not allow 3-D applications to run in
window mode.

Figure 6: Launchpad dialog, Joystick tab
Joystick device: Lists all attached joysticks.
Main engine control: Define the joystick axis which controls the main thrusters. Try different
options if the throttle control on your joystick doesn’t work in Orbiter.
Ignore throttle setting on launch: If ticked, the joystick throttle will be ignored at the launch
of a scenario util the user manipulates it. Otherwise, the throttle setting is used immediately.
Deadzone: Use this to define how soon the joystick will respond when moved out of its centre
position. Smaller values make it respond sooner. Increase if attitude thrusters do not cut out
completely in neutral position.
