General Question Orbiter Beta - How to run the simulation

[SteveX]

Heya,
I have just bumped while browsin' for an Orbiter for how to get to Mars /w aerobraking to a thing called "Orbiter Beta P2". Installed and downloaded everything step-by-step how said in Orbiter official site, now I need to launch it. It everytime launched launches in main CMD for server administration, no GUI, no simulation. Stable relase for 2010s works for me. I mostly installed the beta for testing performance for my personal needs (#IykwIm)

By the way: It's a said "Server mode". Is that a *hopeful sight* sign of multiplayer for Orbiter?

You need to execute orbiter.exe and not orbiter_ng.exe to get the simulation's render window instead of a graphics server's console window, unless you want to use a graphics client.

If you however downloaded some graphics client and you want to launch Orbiter through orbiter_ng.exe, you need to activate the graphics client's module in the modules tab first, before you run any scenario.

If you are talking about the lastest orbiter beta, there is an external graphics client avail on the forum too. Instead of messing around with the beta, I recommend waiting until the next beta release which could be any time now, you will also need to download new large textures for everything too as there are new Earth & Moon textures in the upcoming beta.

Sorry, it's a graphics server, not a multiplayer server.
There is a project for multiplayer that's coming on quite well:
