Base Orbiter 2010 updated with 101016 patch, and Oglaclient-110130 external renderer by Artyom "Artlav" Litvinovich. Without Artlav's work I would not be running Orbiter in Linux.

Additional Comments
It is hard to believe, but, yes, the game runs fine when you install Visual C++ 2005 (or winetricks vcrun2005). It was tested on this machine:
AMD Athlon 64 3700+
2 GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GT 220
500 GB HDD and 80 GB HDD
Resolution: 1280x800
Graphics: All low, except for clouds and planet resolution in 10x.
Tested with an ASUS P4P800E-deluxe mobo with P4 Prescott 3.2 GHz nudged up to 3.74 GHz, Nvidia GeForce 8400 GS pci, Western Digital Raptor 74 GB HDD, 4 GB of RAM. I just installed an Nvidia GeForce 7950 GT 8X AGP 512MB DDR3. Yesterday I stumbled across an Intel Pentium 4 EE 3.2GHz CPU SL7AA. I'm also going to add another Raptor for RAID0, and switch to LVM.

Works for me but didn't render any texture. I had to install driconf and set it to "enable s3tc texture compression even if software support is not available", that fixed rendering issues. FPS still a bit crappy but usable.
Orbiter using D3D9Client
by gersen on Thursday September 13th 2012, 20:10
I'm running the latest Orbiter, version 100830 using the recently released D3D9Client R3.
Tried it on wine 1.5.1 and 1.5.12. I leave it locked to my monitor framerate at 60fps, without the lock it reports 500 fps in a 1920x1200 full screen window.
Haven't used it long enough to rate it, but there is a problem with dialog boxes, you can't use them at all unless you uncheck the "focus follows mouse" in the parameters tab. They work then but are still a bit problematic, not a show stopper though. If anyone can fix it, I'd really like to know.
Needed to Install these via wine tricks.
