| − | + | vMC was created by Synchronous Technologies Ltd. | |

| + | ''Virtual Mission Control (vMC) is a software application designed to support remote telemetry and flight control operations using Martin Schweiger’s Orbiter space flight simulation software. A remote telemetry viewing application (vMC/Workstation) is provided, but other programs using the vMC core components can also be created using the vMC SDK Manual.'' | ||
| − | '' | + | ''The vMC/Workstation program supports the creation of new display pages using either a built-in page editor, or by use of compiled plug-ins (ActiveX custom controls).'' |
| − | + | ''vMC consists of four software components that need to be installed on your PC:'' | |
| − | + | *''vMC/Workstation - the front end of vMC, where you can view telemetry in a wide variety of different formats, and send commands to a spacecraft in Orbiter.'' | |
| + | *''vMC/Server - the communications control element of vMC, that handles all network traffic between components (and allows you to use vMC over a LAN or the Internet, if you wish).'' | ||
| + | *''Orbiter.dll - an ActiveX in-process server component that translates vMC messages into something that Orbiter can understand.'' | ||
| + | *''Orbipc.dll - an Orbiter plug-in module that links Orbiter.dll to Orbiter itself.'' | ||
| − | + | ''Please note that in order to allow these components to communicate, vMC requires that you have a TCP/IP network connection configured on your PC, even if you are only ever going to use vMC on the same PC as Orbiter. This connection can be a local loopback adapter, but presumably if you downloaded Orbiter and vMC, then you have an Internet connection anyway this will serve the purpose.'' | |
