-=== Glider Instrumentation Toolkit ===
+=== Soaring Instrumentation Toolkit ===
-A new project has started to bring improved support for gliding instrumentation to FlightGear. The glider instrumentation toolkit is a small library written in Nasal that allows the creation of glider specific gauges (variometers and glide computers) by connecting elementary blocks together. Although still in early stages of development, the library already supports Total Energy compensated, Netto and Relative (aka Super Netto) variometers, and work to support Speed Command varios and Final Glide computers is on going.
