Ingame browser window

[Tyren]

Hello fellow rocketeers, i'd like to ask if it's possible to mod an internet browser into that game. I am usually browsing at long burns but i want to demount my 2nd screen. I don't know anything about modding, so here da questionz:

1 is it technically possible to do?

2 do you like to see that too?

or

3 is my idea crap?

4 thanks for reading.

Technically possible, but tricky. It would mean finding a cross-platform web browser component for C# (as opposed to an IE web browser component that'll only work in Windows). There may be something that'll work for Webkit or Gecko.

Not a bad idea, especially for people that like to run full-screen and don't want to alt-tab all the time.

Oh god, I'm now imagining this integrated into RPM.

YouTube in the cockpit, in-flight movies for the passengers, the possibilities are endless

We Steamers alredy have a ingame browser

How about the fake fullscreen mode?

Full windowed mode? Works, but ... how to express it...it lacks elegance

Even so, full windowed with a browser in the foreground your game doesnt longer react on commands, imo with a mod you can avoid this...maybe, dunno.

Lack elegance? How so? I am not talking about a maximized window, but something that looks like fullscreen, yet allows windows in front of it - been playing that way since ever.

But it does - it is an option in the launcher/settings ... not sure right now, but just take a look, background calculation or something like that.

full Window mode is the look-like-fullscreen mode. But you have to force your browser window to the front to make that work as i intend to...wanted to avoid that
