Hello Curt !

I am very interested !

Actually, an iOS FlightGear compatible glass cockpit display is one of my summer-planned-projets. As soon as I'm finished with my other contracted works...
I work as a freelance programmer in France (stuffs like games, 3d, Unity, C++, audio, iPhone...). 

Some ideas I was thinking about :
-FlightGear remote : connect via telnet, control FlightGear sim remotely.
-Glass cockpit : jet, propeller, airliner... Something inspired by the FlightGear 2d panel system (or forked from ?).
-mpmap : port the Multiplayer map to iOS.

So your project seems interesting, can you tell more about it ?

cheers,

Jonathan.
