Hi guys,
Some of you may have seen the chat and experimenting with rocket racing over the past few weeks. There has been talk of pilon racing and other varients. So I have a question to knowledgable the .dll coders out there.
Is it possible, without great pain, to code something that does something similar to this:
Racer Checkpoints MFD. A simple mfd that displays a checkpoint (lat/long). When the vessel comes within 500m of this point, the mfd recognises that and switches to display the next checkpoint. When the 'last' checkpoint is reached, the mfd displays a "complete" message and the total time taken to travel from first checkpoint to last. The checkpoints could be loaded as an .ini file or similar.
doable with the orbiter API? any thoughts appreciated.
