Question how to display trajectory of vehicle in the 3D view

[xjflcf520]

I wanted to use Orbiter for data playback and also to show the flight path directly in real time in the external view, as if there was a track line that followed directly behind the orbiter. I don't know if Orbiter has that capability

Visualizing orbits in 3D view requires the mod called Videnie Orbit Drawing 1.0 by artlav. It was made for 2006/2010 versions of Orbiter, but it works well also in O2016

jarmonik wrote something like that for the D3D9 client on 2016. Thread here.

Thank you very much for your reply, I used this plugin, but I found this plugin is used to display the spacecraft orbit, but I want to show the flight trajectory, for example, the aircraft took off from the ground , and can directly draw it previous flight trajectory behind the vehicle, such as a straight line or a parabola

I'm sorry, I don't think that's what I want to do, I want to draw the exact trajectory of the previous flight directly on the back of the vehicle.

You mean similar to Homeworld?

It might be a bit of a novelty, but I'm not sure I'd use it.
You could maybe mess around with the exhaust textures and change the time it takes for them to disperse.

It does work in O2016?

Yep! I tested it myself while flying Voyager missions

Hi Gargantuna2024, what are the controls to enable it?
Following to the txt file, I pressed Alt-I and pressed 0/1, but I didn't see visual changes in the screen.

It only works in D3D7, maybe you are using D3D9?
