|1= The Canvas-based Aircraft Center dialog was originally prototyped by TheTom in response to Zakalawe announcing on the devel list that he was going to come up with a front-end for his still ongoing package manager subsystem, by creating a hard-coded PUI dialog. | |||
Since then, many things have changed - Zakalawe is now working on an integrated Qt5 launcher, which is intended to remain an optional feature, but which is also intended to provide an in-sim replacement for the built-in PUI GUI. | |||
Also, TheTom is not currently as actively involved as Zakalawe, so that the Aircaft Center has not seen much attention recently - and Zakalawe stated on the devel list that he is now considering the "Aircraft Center" an "experimental feature" that is likely to be deprecated due to this ongoing Qt5 launcher/GUI efforts. | |||
The Aircraft Center is primarily written in Nasal and Canvas, as its back-end it is using SimGear http binding for downloading aircraft, and a few fgcommands for dealing with the package manager subsystem. | |||
