Linux

Compatibility may vary from distro to distro. Orbx Central uses .NET Core 3 and exact requirements for Linux compatibility can be found below:

The GNU C library is required for TrueEarth texture conversion. The package name differs based on your Linux distro. Use the appropriate package manager for your distro to install the package.

 

• Debian/Ubuntu: libc6-dev

• Red Hat/Fedora: glibc-devel

• Arch/Manjaro: lib32-glibc

The simulator does not appear in the list

Make sure you’ve launched your simulator at least once, as many simulators won’t correctly set their location until they’re launched. You’ll also need to restart Central if you have installed or started a new simulator.
