Hello,
i plan to creat and public a class for orbiter with basic and advanced functions / methods witch are often needed by add ons developers.
Let's say thats only the first step, the next step will be to implement some of these functions to an extended vessel class.
For example, so you can say later
So here is the first look:
Now in the code, you can say for examle:
Sure, this is a verry primitiv example!
What do you think about a open library for add on develppers like this?
Or is there allready somethink like this?
What are yours reqired functions (with solution if possible) you often need?
