* There's a new fully scriptable 2D rendering system supported for creating instruments, the so called [[Canvas]] which allows you to create fully dynamic cockpit instruments and HUDs, even by loading and drawing vector images. This can be used to create CDUs/MCDUs for FMC, complex glass cockpit avionics (MFDs, EICAS, EFIS etc) and any other "glass" instruments that could previously only be created in C++ space. All of this has now become possible just by using FlightGear's built-in [[Nasal]] scripting language which is very similar to JavaScript, without having to rebuild FlightGear. | * There's a new fully scriptable 2D rendering system supported for creating instruments, the so called [[Canvas]] which allows you to create fully dynamic cockpit instruments and HUDs, even by loading and drawing vector images (SVG).
