Question Creating add-ons in C++

[Sbb1413]

As you know, I was away from developing add-ons for a year. I had even stopped playing the simulator for over six months because of peer pressure to complete my school and college exams. Although I'm still studying in college, I have enough time to spare for my favourite game. Since I have learnt the basics of C++ in college and still learning the advanced features, I want to know the basics of creating add-ons using C++.

I've visited the FAQ section of the old medphys website and found that I have to be familiar with the SDK. I had posted a question about SDK before the pandemic, and I'll look for it. I don't know how I have almost reverted to a newbie after not playing Orbiter for several months.

Start with installing a compiler, ideally Visual Studio Community Edition, if you have no clue about setting up toolchains.

After installing Visual Studio Community Edition, I recommend opening the ShuttlePB sample solution in the ...OrbiterSDK/samples/ShuttlePB folder. That is a very simple add on. Once you get that building and running you will have a good base for building addons.
