This page describes the requirements of the legacy Orbit Flash Viewer and Plugins for Mobile and Oblique Mapping available for on-premises Orbit 3DM Publisher only.
For Html5 3D Mapping Viewer and Plugins, see Requirements for Orbit 3DM Viewer and Plugins
Orbit Plugins require online connectivity to the Orbit License Service to be activated, see Orbit Online License Activation.
Orbit Flash WebClient does not require online connectivity. These WebClients need access to a Publisher only.
Orbit Flash WebClient will use 3D graphics card if available. If no GPU is available, 3D renders will be processed by CPU.
3D graphics cards are embedded in most contemporary computers, but unfortunately, virtual environments (like Citrix, Virtualbox, VMWare, etc.) are still struggling to incorporate 3D hardware and may thus cause the Web Client to be slower.
Orbit developed a dedicated software render technique to optimize the use of the Flash Web Client on virtual environments.
The WebClients require connection to an Orbit Publishers to load a Publication.
A Publication is a well-defined combination of Geo, Mobile Mapping and Oblique resources prepared by an administrator and shared via an Orbit Publisher.
The Orbit Flash WebClient is our legacy WebClient Component. We will maintain this WebClient for a few more years.
