you don't need to move the view manager to SimGear to accomplish this - like I mentioned previously, the correct way to access FG-level subsystems via the Canvas system is to review/extend the FGCanvasSystemAdapter to expose the corresponding APIs. | For instance, say you'd like to access the FlightGear view manager via the access system: you don't need to move the view manager to SimGear to accomplish this - like I mentioned previously, the correct way to access FG-level subsystems via the Canvas system is to review/extend the FGCanvasSystemAdapter to expose the corresponding APIs. | ||
I actually posted code snippets that illustrate how to do this, for example in the 3D model loader, specifically look for the FGCanvasSystemAdapter changes in both $FG_SRC and $SG_SRC | I actually posted code snippets that illustrate how to do this, for example in the 3D model loader, specifically look for the FGCanvasSystemAdapter changes in both $FG_SRC and $SG_SRC | ||
