=== Space Shuttle ===
The Space Shuttle avionics is continuously being expanded. A fairly sophisticated electrical system as well as the corresponding management software has been added. Also, some of the more modern glass cockpit instruments, such as the APU/HYD. the engine monitor and the surface position indicator display are now available in the development version.

In the mean time, work continues on animating the various switches and indicators in the 3d cockpit. So far, the electrical power generation and distribution panel is fully functional and allows e.g. to switch off a damaged fuel cell and tie the buses to restore power flow throughout the Shuttle, or to take the AC power generation off the internal DC power grid.
