[Flightgear-devel] FG1000 update

[Stuart B. <stu...@gm...>]

Hi All,

I thought it worthwhile to provide a little update on where I've got
to on the G1000 emulation.

I've now got the key MapStructure layers in place, though they are not
styled correctly for the G1000 yet and I'd like to replace some of
them (airspace in particular) with vector data, and started on the MFD
architecture.

For prototyping I hacked together a PUI dialog box, which speeds up
development massively as it reloads all the Nasal code each time it's
opened (thanks to Hooray for pointing this out).  There's a screenshot
of it here:  http://wiki.flightgear.org/File:Fg1000_mfd.jpg

There's also a wiki page of the current status here:

Next steps are to get the MFD architecture in place - this will
probably require some changes to Richard's generic MFD to support
buttons that don't change the MFD pages better.

I've not yet pushed this to fgdata - I'll wait until I'm happy with
the overall architectures so that there is a solid base for anyone
else interested in helping out.
