SpaceMissionSimVis

About

SpaceMissionSimVis is an application that is meant to make producing PANGU spacecraft mission simulations easier by making the process more interactive and intuitive. It includes features like:

• launching and connecting to a PANGU server from the application for convenience (the user still needs to have their own PANGU server executable including the license)
• sending flight file commands to the server
• viewing the commands' results as images generated by the server
• displaying the progress of the flight file in an interactive...
  • 3D graph-like visualisation
  • playback interface

Dependencies

The only real dependency is Qt 5.15.2, though a threads (and winsock2 for Windows) library should also be present on the system, which usually is by default.
