General Question orbiter.exe launch options?

[nerdy]

Hi,

I'm working on an assignment for a school project and we are using orbiter as a base. What we would like to do is to be able to launch a given scenario using only command-line, eg.

orbiter.exe --scenario "Scenarios\Shuttle-A\Shuttle-A Launch.scn"

Does the orbiter executable accept arguments like those? or is there an alternate way to do this without using the launchpad?

Thanks

orbiter.exe -s <scenario-name>

scenario-name is relative to Scenarios subdirectory of Orbiter. You need to omit the trailing ".scn" from the file name.

-s (lower-case) terminates Orbiter after you end simulation session
-S (upper-case) uses the default shutdown option


For your example:

orbiter.exe -s "Shuttle-A\Shuttle-A Launch"

This is perfect, thank you :tiphat:

If you prefer to launch the graphics client version, your command line would look like this:

Modules\Server\orbiter.exe -s <scenario_path\filename>

With scenario path/filename without extension and between quotes if there are blanks.
