LiveKML/CZML output for visualization.

Maybe Max-Q can help me with this, after all his ForeFlight plugin has inspired this idea of mine.

I was thinking how cool it would be to visualize live Orbiter 2016 telemetry in 3D... similar to how SpaceX displays live track data (obviously much more advanced) on their live streams.
Such integrations could be visualized in Google Earth Pro or CesiumJS.com


Via the ForeFlight integration, I can view live output data and record it as a static KML file for later analysis but taking it the next step forward would be making it live output data to be supported by applications such as Cesium or Google Earth Pro.


Just a thought. I definitely am not keen enough on coding to write it, I bet I could eventually figure it out, I just thought I would ask around first to see if anyone on here would be capable of cranking such a thing out.


Something similar to this, minus the advanced trajectory predictions.

Are you suggesting this here as a feature that should be added to the Orbiter-Forum website, or should this go in the other section as a suggestion for a new standalone application?

It would be addon to Orbiter. An output folder within the Orbiter Application. NOT to do with Orbiter-Forum website.

I do now realize I did not post it in the right feature request section, thank you for pointing that out to me.

No worries - I've moved this to a more suitable area so you stand a better chance of getting some helpful input.
