    Guide: Orbiter development in Visual Studio 2019

    To my understanding there are two different things: Open source Orbiter, what you already successfully compiled 3rd party addons, who are separate projects/solutions Because there are some nifty things to get 3rd party addon compiled, I recommend you to start learn by recomilling Rcontrol and...

    D3D9Client (semi-native) + Orbiter test build

    Great work! Thank you! What features D3D9 still need to support for compatibility with old add-ons? Maybe there is chance to update these old add-ons and remove old stuff from them? Also this info can be useful for new add-on development to avoid use of obsolete API. I saw some old add-on...
