* A very basic PFD is available with horizon, compass rose, altimeter, speed tape. | |||
* Initial implementation of the MFD is available on git/next. It is integrated with the [[Route Manager|route manager]], GPS and the generic NAV/COM radios. It displays engine information from a single piston engine, and can be used as an EFB. | |||
* MFD and PFD can be displayed as a GUI window under Debug menu or added to an aircraft with the GDU-1045 model as part of a 3D cockpit. | |||
There's still a huge number of pages to write, and the pages around route planning will likely be particularly challenging, but it should be far faster now these blocks are in place. . If anyone is interested in creating a specific page, please also get in touch with Stuart. The various ''Nearest... and ...Information'' pages should be quite easy to do based on the pages that have been written already. See the Design Notes for details. | There's still a huge number of pages to write, and the pages around route planning will likely be particularly challenging, but it should be far faster now these blocks are in place. .

* There is a two channel NAV/COM with an active and standby frequency and automatic ID of NAV frequencies at the top of the UI. They all integrate with the standard properties, so should work automatically with most aircraft. | * There is a two channel NAV/COM with an active and standby frequency and automatic ID of NAV frequencies at the top of the UI.
