Orbiter 2010

[Blacklight]

I wonder if the pure-server mode means multiplayer, or if it just provides a way to interface with it via telemetry software? [EDIT] nvm, it's interface for OVP and the like.

I'm sure it does. The catch is that there will have to be an addon or GUI created for it. Orbiter 2006 had a multiplayer addon where you could log into a server and fly with other people. The only catch was that you pretty much had to use the Deltaglider or one of the other stock ships (along with no other addons) that came with the base installation. 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.
