Brainstorming

  • bootstrapping: there's not just $FG_ROOT/Nasal, but also various XML files that support embedded code -especially GUI dialogs, need to check those, too -maybe via grep/sed to patch them accordingly
  • subsystem-specific fgcommands should also be registered at the subsystem level via ::bind()
  • provide at least two *.boot files, e.g. default.boot and fgcanvas.boot, common code should reside in 'include' files, to be used by any *.boot files
  • check what's needed to disable/hide the GUI for a FlightGear Headless mode
  • once we use separate SGSubsystemGroup instances, we need to edit monitor.nas to support different "root" groups - that's trivial, the PerformanceMonitor allocation should probably happen in SGSubsystemGroup::postinit() though, and not in fgCreateSubsystems() ...
  • for better debugging/troubleshooting and feature scaling, we'll need to expose GL* query functions to Nasal
  • investigate re-implementing the splash screen using Canvas/Nasal
  • all subsystems should expose a signal via their ::init() method, so that listeners can respond accordingly
  • consider exposing SGSubsystem* via Nasal/CppBind for complex systems like Bombable, Local weather, the ND etc?
  • Philosopher mentioned that it'd be kinda cool to provide an example using HLA to do RPC between fgcanvas<->fgfs, this could very well be the foundation for improving FG performance, because Nasal could then be run outside the main loop/process
  • Prepare FGNasalSys to support multiple instances (currently, it's a "broken singleton" by design)


Existing Initialization Scheme

Note  need to track:
  • ctor calls
  • init, postinit calls
  • bind/unbind
  • dtors calls
