General Question Difference between Orbiter and Orbiter_ng ?

[-Apollo-]

So guys, tittle tells everything, what's the difference, i really don't get it :shifty:

 

[Urwumpe]

ng = No graphics. It is a version that relies on external renderers.

 

[Artlav]

orbiter draws everything by itself, with DX7.
orbiter_ng lets add-ons (called graphic engines/clients) do the drawing, with DX9 OGL, ASCII art, or whatever.

 

[Carmen A]

Ascii art? No wonder there was that frighteningly realistic DG virtual cockpit in ascii

 

[Arrowstar]

Heh, someone needs to do a ASCII visualization client.

 

[Lucy]

Ahem.

*points to Artlav and flees*.

 

[Urwumpe]

I would prefer an VGA or hercules mode emulation for orbiter... Just for the laughs. But should be very tough to make properly.
