I have two unrelated ideas for Orbiter. I do not know if either of these ideas are feasible. What would be involved?
1:
From LEO you the DGIV captain opens a reconnaissance MFD and view a detailed satellite view of the earth directly under your craft. The MFD is tied into Google Earth showing a realistic satellite view as your craft passes overhead.
2:
How feasible is this idea. Is there a way it could be programmed in?
A scenario that is not readable by the player and the ability to insert objects into the solar system that is also hidden from the player.
This would allow scenarios to be developed that support a story line. For example, the scenario instructions would be to launch from KSC to Brighton beach, moon and arrive by a certain time. You would not know why or what you may find there. If those conditions are meet an eva to the base would reveal further instructions.
Does this idea appeal to anyone? Can it be improved?
