Hello Help Needed Simulating Mission Control

[Matrix52]

Hi all I am looking into developing a Mod for Orbiter that will allow classrooms to simulate mission control via a series of laptops running software that takes data from orbiter. Launch altitude speed orbital position etc.I can write everything I need outside of Orbiter but I need someone who knows orbiter very well to answer a few questions and maybe help out. Can anyone help me out? Thanks John

Welcome!

You might look at the Orb::Connect software... I'm no expert, of course, but I think it might be able to do what you're asking of it, so long as you're willing to write code yourself.

Hmm, you could just set up orbiter on every computer, then have the MFDs on each one tuned differently. but linking it all up to one orbiter is somthing idk.
tho!

I've looked at simulating mission control with vMC2 and Orb:connect. I couldn't make vMC2 work. This link summarizes what I also found. http://www.orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?t=25325&highlight=vmc

I think using WebMFD would provide the flexibility to use the HTML/Script web page development tools. However, I can't make WebMFD work either. http://www.orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?p=362909&postcount=59

Others have been successful so I'm pressing on.
