Now, unpack my utility, for example in C:\Orbitron-FDM-SW2
You’ll find 2 files, the app and the config.ini, edit the config.ini and change the host ip to match your local ethernet IP (my PC’s IP is 192.168.2.2).
Now edit the Setup.cfg of Orbitron (it’s located in the Config subfolder of the install dir of Orbitron).
Add the following line to the [Drivers] section:
EladDDEOrbitron=C:\Orbitron-FDM-SW2\OrbitronFDMSW2.exe
The file should look like this image:

Run FDM-SW2 and Orbitron…
In Orbitron select the satellite you wanna track and go to the “Rotor/Radio” section.
