 == Development news ==
+=== G1000-style avionics ===
+Here is a little update o the G1000 emulation. Stuart has now got the key [[MapStructure]] layers in place, though they are not styled correctly for the '''G1000''' yet and Stuart would like to replace some of them (airspace in particular) with vector data, and started on the MFD architecture. For prototyping he hacked together a [[PUI]] dialog box, which speeds up development massively as it reloads all the Nasal code each time it's opened.
+There's a screenshot of it here: [[File:Fg1000_mfd.jpg|thumb|right]]
+There's also a wiki page of the current status here: http://wiki.flightgear.org/FG1000 Next steps are to get the MFD architecture in place - this will probably require some changes to Richard's generic [[Canvas MFD Framework|MFD]] to support buttons that don't change the MFD pages better. Stuart has not yet pushed this to fgdata - he'll wait until he's happy with the overall architectures so that there is a solid base for anyone else interested in helping out.<ref>{{cite web
