Creating MFDs

[Master of Blades]

Hi all, I'm looking into creating an MFD, but I have no idea of how to do it. I have some very basic knowledge of C++, but is there any tutorial or something similar you could point me at, to get me started?

Cheers

Look into your samples folder, there is a MFD example. I started there myself and just changed the important passages for my first MFD.

Look at MFD Template in the samples folder. Just add stuff that you want in it, to put it simply. Also, remember to set up your compiler.

All mentioned above would be a good start. Just look at the structure of the examples and compile them. Changing small things, step by step.

Also, remember to set up your compiler.

A link would be useful:
http://www.orbiterwiki.org/wiki/Free_Compiler_Setup
(you can also just use Visual C++ 2008 Express instead of 2005)

Someone should make a simple guide to the SDK. At the moment, the only resources people have is the docs, orbiterwiki, and forums.
