Hello, Orbiter Forum.
I need to write a plugin, that requires Image Processing algorithms. But how to capture images from Orbiter? Is there any API function ( LUA or C++ ) that can get images of front view of vessel (from the main window - what the vessel "is seeing")?
I need this for writing such a plugin as following the target (another vehicle, Sun, etc)
I've seen - there is a plugin "Screen capture" - but as I understood - it makes screenshots (as user of Orbiter sees the screen, but not the exact view of camera - front view for example) and it saves screenshots in files. So it will be slow to get images from external files (for about 10-20 times in a second)
Sorry for my bad English, hope you'll understand my questions.
Thank you in advance, Evgheny.
