A Kerbal Space Program mod that opens the map view in another window/monitor. It works by launching a separate instance of the game, and syncing the time and ship information via networking (udp/tcp).
Contains some bugs, but luckily they don't happen in your main game window, just on the map view. When that happens you can keep playing and only have to restart the map view.
To get it working, you'll need two separate installs of KSP; your normal one and a separate one just for this mod. The "server" stuff goes in your normal game (in the GameData directory), the "client" stuff goes in the other install (also under GameData). Start up an instance of both and you should be in business, providing you have the CPU and GPU and RAM to handle it.
To save memory and loading time for the client, you can delete all the parts EXCEPT for the following:
GameData\Squad\Parts\Command\Mk1-3Pod\*
GameData\Squad\Parts\Prebuilt\*
If these parts are missing a message will be written to the log file
- Syncing of time and time warp
- Syncing of active vessel's trajectory
- Syncing of all vessels' orbits
- Syncing of maneuver nodes (bidrectionally)
Check the buglist on github.
- Either 2 monitors or an ultrawide monitor
- 4 core processor
- 6+GB RAM
Or a separate computer to run the map view on.
