=== Additional Scripting APIs === | |||
Several advanced aircraft have created FMS (Flight Management System) and CDU (Command Display Unit) implementations using custom Nasal code, with some (or no) interaction with the C++ route-manager, and often with code that overlaps. There's now an effort to improve this, while keeping the complex, especially aircraft-dependant functionality in Nasal so it can be tailored and extended easily. Work has started on improving the existing Nasal scripting interface such that modern avionics can be more easily modeled in scripting space, for additional information please check out [[Nasal Flightplan]]. | |||
