Programming Question how to interact with orbiter_ng

[b_griffin]

Hello,
I downloaded the latest 2010 beta and i am really exited about orbiter_ng. I want to do some simulations but could not find any documentation on how to talk to orbiter_ng; just the few commands from the >help command line when orbiter_ng is running.

Is the orbiter_ng documentation anywhere?

Thanks.

Firstly, why download a beta the day after the program goes gold?

Secondly, Orbiter_ng.exe is an implementation of Orbiter without a graphics frontend, nothing more. To interact with it, get an external graphics client from OVP and plug it in.

Hi
Thanks for the quick response.

In some old posts I saw that it would be possible to use orbiter_ng as a numerical simulation engine. Is this not possible at all?

If you want to play with the external OpenGL and/or DirectX 7 client under Orbiter_NG you can download d3d7client100606.zip and/or oglaclient-100608.zip from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/orbitervis/files/. Look in the "OVP binaries" folder.
