Re: [Flightgear-devel] RFD: FlightGear and the changing state of air navigation

[David M. <dav...@gm...>]

Should there maybe be a separate project to build an embeddable GPS
navigator with different faces/UIs (and a default standalone front end)? As
others have mentioned, a lot of the backend logic is the same, like doing a
gradual transition from RNAV to Localiser on intercept to avoid a sudden
jolt in the A/P, or calculating a turn past a fly-by waypoint. Again, that
would be a way to join forces with other Sim dev communities.
