This was to make sure that everyone had the same ships and addons for rendering purposes. I've played on the Orbiter server a few times. It was ok.. but considering the distances involved and the fact that you couldn't time compress really limited it.
The door is open to do this now wider than ever before now and there's a project going on in the orbiter forums as we speak to add multiplayer and implement it properly.

I remember the earlier MP projects but didn't really try any of them after following the threads. Orbiter presents a unique challenge with respect to multiplayer capability, and I will not be surprised when someone finally nails it down. It's been four or five years since I last looked into those projects. How much has changed since then?

That's what I'm wondering, too. Hopefully none of our favorites.
There is a complex MFD that I had always wanted to try [EDIT -- OSMFD], but did not wish to track down a much earlier Orbiter release to be able to use it. But, the flipside of the coin is: what can we do with this version?
