Nothing in particular : help debugging the grid layout (which is in simgear) would be good. For now you could create a grid layout manually using some Nasal.

For the menubar, we need to expose the C++ data to Nasal : we need a FGCompatMenuBar (alongisde FGPUIMenuBar) implementing FGMenubar which calls _createMenuObject in MenuBar.nas, using the same way I lookup and call _createDialogPeer in XMLDialog.nas

(Make sure you don’t break the macOS native menubar in the process!)

You can probably pass a wrapped SGpropertyNode into this, and then fill in the stubs in that file to use the Menu widgets Frederic has written.

Global menu keybindings won’t worry but don’t touch that, I have a separate plan for it.

Kind regards,
James
