=== Soaring Instrumentation Toolkit ===
=== Soaring Instrumentation Toolkit ===


A new project has started for bringing improved support for soaring instrumentation to FlightGear. The soaring 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, Relative (aka Super Netto) and Speed Command variometers. There are plans for supporting final glide computers as well.
A new project has started for bringing improved support for soaring instrumentation to FlightGear. The soaring instrumentation toolkit is a small library written in [[Nasal]] code that allows the creation of glider specific gauges (variometers and glide computers) by connecting elementary blocks together (implemented in OOP). Although still in early stages of development, the library already supports TE (Total Energy) compensated, Netto, Relative (aka Super Netto) and Speed Command variometers. There are plans for supporting final glide computers as well. To learn more about the project, see the forum thread at [http://flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=21020].
