Vessel creation

UML sequence of a vessel creation

When Orbiter discovers a new vessel in a scenario file, a fixed sequence of events take place:

  • Orbiter seeks the configuration file in the folder "config" or alternativly "config/Vessel" and parses it. If it has a "module" attribute, Orbiter loads the DLL (unless it was already loaded)
  • If the DLL gets loaded the first time, Orbiter calls DLLInit.
  • After that, Orbiter calls the callback function ovcInit, requesting the DLL to create a new VESSEL2 object
  • When the VESSEL2 derived object was created and returned to Orbiter, Orbiter calls VESSEL2::clbkSetClassCaps together with a file handle to the current configuration file. (Note: its possible to have multiple configuration files point at the same DLL)
  • When the vessel was initially created, Orbiter gives the current section of the scenario file to the vessel by calling the callback VESSEL2::clbkLoadStateEx.
  • After the scenario block was parsed and the initial vessel state set, Orbiter calls VESSEL2::clbkSetStateEx.
  • Now, the vessel is almost ready to be used. Before the simulation starts, Orbiter calls VESSEL2::clbkPostCreation to let the vessel set the animations and initialize other data which depends on the beginning simulation state.
