Excited about orbiter_ng

[b_griffin]

Hello,

I am really excited about orbiter_ng, from what i have read, it can run as a simulation engine. I have these dreams of running optimization algorithm for interplanetary travel so this might be the option to do that.

So far i got a response that orbiter_ng would only work with graphic engines but there must be a way to get this to work...

I will keep a log here on what happens with this :thumbup:

I thought NG stood for: No Graphics...

orbiter_ng is for no graphics. It allows the system to run just the core physics engine allowing other graphics clients to hook in.

Yes, I want to run the physics engine as a simulation tool without any graphics. Responses I got so far is that this is not possible. Might have to get hands dirty and code a client that acts as a visualizer. However i have not been able to find api documentation about the communication that goes between orbiter_ng and the graphics client.
