General Question Using Orbiter as educational tool...question

[jdmartin]

Hi folks...I'm very new to the Orbiter community, but would like to ask a simple question. I am putting together a simplistic Apollo simulator cabin, and using AMSO and Orbiter, I'm going to have some fun with the grandkids, and educate them at the same time as to what the "space race" was all about. They've already shown quite an interest, and I'm looking forward to spending some quality time with them.

My question is this......Is there an add-on or separate program that will a separate computer to network to the "Orbiter" computer, and have the networked computer serve as a "mission control" station? I can see all kinds of things that would only serve to heighten the kid's interest, if it operated somewhat like the old Houston mission control, that they see in the space documentaries that we watch together.

Just a simple question from a simple guy.....

thank you

Jim

There's vMC (virtual Mission Control) which is quite nice... but I can't find it. Best lead is that this used to be the home page. http://www.cix.co.uk/~cthulhu/vmc/index.htm
(and it obviously doesn't exist anymore)

I'll go searching and see what I can find. thank you Nick...
