OHM Orb:Connect v2.1 for Orbiter2010

[OrbitHangar]

Author: yagni01


Updated version of Orb:Connect plugin for Orbiter2010p1. Contains updates for XRVesselCtrl v2.1 plus several new commands.

Orb:Connect is a socket-based communication interface that allows external clients to access Orbiter APIs in a human-readable form. The intent of OrbConnect is to allow  users to create Orbiter clients to drive things like external "mission control" displays, simpits, and other "read-mostly" types of clients outside of the Orbiter program itself or on separate machines in the language of your choice.

See release notes and User Manual for more information

Anyone willing to put together a step-by-step on how to use this? I read the docs and its well over my head!!!

You need to use sockets in order to communicate with Orb::Connect.
This addon is more for developpers

By using Dependency Walker with OrbConnect.dll I found out that I was missing Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 redist. (doesn´t seem to come with Windows 10) so I installed both packages:

Problem solved.
