Sorry about the confusing. I do hope I can relay my thoughts more clearly in the future.
When I say addon I mean user created content to YOUR software not Orbiter itself your addon does not need to create anything except maybe a simple example display window mimmicing Orbit MFD done with OpenGL instead of GDI.
Please bear with me Artlav. I am not the best at relaying my thoughts in this case.
Lets say for the sake of argument Random VSA's Admin asks a developer in the org to make an addon for the clients to make a control room sort of like mission control houston.
Developer creates mesh of mission control room interior with consoles that have faces defined to display info.
Developer uses API to generate a "Face" for the screens that uses Open GL to Display such things as Orbit, track, and text data. On the wall a display shows results from a camera defined on the spacecraft in orbit to simulate a video feed from the shuttle.
Make any better sense?
