== Primary Flight Displays for Android Devices == | |||
Android devices are light, thin, and offer a very decent computing power and graphics processing. They are battery operated and can connect to other devices through WiFi (there is no need of cables). They are, in fact, perfect for integration in home-made cockpits. This new project offers the opportunity of extending their usage in the form of Primary Flight Displays and Navigation displays for airliners in Fligthgear. There are currently 4 Primary Flight Display (PFD) Apps in "early production" state: Basic, Boeing 777, Boeing 787-8, and Airbus 330. The Basic App is at this moment available in the Android Play Store. The other Apps will be uploaded during the next days provided that no serious problems are found in the Basic App. You are more than welcome to test it and give feedback!
