  | also suspect that there are some logistical issues to solve for aircraft downloads, since it needs aircraft developers and ‘the project’ to start thinking about hangar structures and adding better metadata to aircraft -set.xml; but no one is going to consider those issues until the GUI interface exists. Of course we can initially make a hangar / catalog from all aircraft in fgdata - we already have some tooling around this anyway, which Curt & Gijs use to create the aircraft pages on flightgear.org.<br/>
<br/>
My June is going to be busy, and contains two weeks when I’ve got reduced connectivity/availability, so if these features are going to make it into 3.2, someone other than me needs to take charge of making them happen - I am happy to document what currently exists, and what remains to be solved, in more detail than above.

  |Well, if we make a manual catalog.xml from the current fgdata/Aircraft (which I have parts of a script to do), and we treat the current aircraft zip URLs as canonical, that is possible with current code right now - since it can do the zip download + extraction to a directory of our choice. We could throw an (ugly) PUI UI around that, and then if someone with more talent than me wants to Canvas-GUI-ify it, that will be great.<br/>
<br/>
I will attempt to get a prototype version of this working tonight / tomorrow. I don’t promise to produce anything usable but as you say, anything would be an improvement.

  |f you give me something that shows how to do this I can put it in a<br/>
canvas dialog and see what is missing. Nearly all required parts for<br/>
the GUI are now finished and I think within a few days I should be<br/>
able to commit the remaining parts.
