Gijs already started working on a MFD creation framework for the 744, and as previously mentioned, certain features are going to be identical - regardless of aircraft, i.e. bizjet, boeing, airbus etc - most MFDs will have knobs to adjust brightness or change video sources - so I'd rather keep the general design in mind here, and not implement such things specifically for a certain aircraft. Ultimately, it really just boils down to mapping a few properties to the corresponding canvas properties. | |||
{{cquote|I also need a better way to switch pages on the lower EICAS. Right now I delete/re-create the Canvas with this code. It doesn't work well though; at times no page is loaded at all. Of course I cannot delete a Canvas when I have it displayed in a dialog, so this method is probably doomed... | {{cquote|I also need a better way to switch pages on the lower EICAS.
