So, the most natural thing to do would be to '''directly integrate these facilities into FlightGear''', where they can make use of extensive FlightGear APIs that are known to compile and work across all supported FlightGear platforms. | So, the most natural thing to do would be to '''directly integrate these facilities into FlightGear''', where they can make use of extensive FlightGear APIs that are known to compile and work across all supported FlightGear platforms. | ||
== Global Canvas GUI (WIP) == | |||
{{FGCquote | |||
|(This subject has been discussed at FSWeekend)<br/> | |||
<br/> | |||
I'm slowly working on a new "global" GUI created in Canvas. It's still in heavy development and I'm not sure I will have time to finish it for FG 3.4, but if people are helping I think we can get it. | |||

|The goal is to replace our dozens of GUI dialog by only 1 dialog with nice architecture/organization.<br/> | |||
For example, the "General" page is remplacing "File > Sound configuration", "View > Cockpit View Options", "View > Adjust HUD Properties" and "View > View Options". | |||
Some Canvas tools are missing (slider, radio button, styling helper like "font-bold", "underline"...) but I know Canvas is under development. | |||

|The "Home" page is designed to be the "select airport", "select aircraft", "help"... finally this dialog could become the "built-in launcher".For | |||
example we can imagine to have an option like --enable-launcher which start FG in a way that he doesn't load any aircraft or position but | |||
instead we hold the splashscreen and we show this Canvas dialog, then the user can select his airport and his aircraft. Finally a simple | |||
'reset' with all settings required by the user is triggered that way the user end up in his aircraft at his airport. | |||
All of this require to be discussed and is likely at the "proof-of-concept" state. | |||

|Looks … okay, just be aware how it will interact with the menubar. (Especially on Mac).<br/> | |||
<br/> | |||
I actually considered the same, unifying many settings dialogs into one Preferences dialog; not combing ‘everything’ but all the Rendering / View / Multiplayer / Scenery Download / Instrument settings into one Preferences dialog with tabs. | |||

|I would still think that a series of top level dialogs might make more sense, based on frequency of use:<br/> | |||
* an aircraft selection / startup location / scenario selection (aka ‘the launcher’) ; something that is shown by default on launch and used every day<br/> | |||
* a preferences + settings + joystick config one which hopefully is not used every day (once things are setup)<br/> | |||
* a help + about dialog which again hopefully is not used every day, maybe designed to remain open on screen | |||

|I’m not sure how the equipment dialogs (which are often customised per-aircraft - eg radios or autopilot), including the GPS and route-manager, fit into this either. | |||
Of course, it’s great if Canvas is as the point that we can actually consider such things, and hopefully the actual arrangement of screens + widgets is easy to evaluate and adjust. | |||
