After some (partially controversial) discussion, there seems now to be some support for the idea that canvas is a good tool to generate aircraft-specific dialogs in the future <ref>https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/mailman/flightgear-devel/thread/93862C87-0D3E-47BB-B169-8D3CBBF963B7%40kdab.com/#msg36194973</ref> (as it allows to tailor the dialog closely to the plane and also, canvas being canvas, the UI can smoothly mesh with the 3d models, so you can project a canvas checklist onto a 3d model in sim for instance rather than a popup window). | After some (partially controversial) discussion, there seems now to be some support for the idea that canvas is a good tool to generate aircraft-specific dialogs in the future <ref>https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/mailman/flightgear-devel/thread/93862C87-0D3E-47BB-B169-8D3CBBF963B7%40kdab.com/#msg36194973</ref> (as it allows to tailor the dialog closely to the plane and also, canvas being canvas, the UI can smoothly mesh with the 3d models, so you can project a canvas checklist onto a 3d model in sim for instance rather than a popup window). | ||
Which means, Canvas for aircraft specific in-window options and Phi for instructor stations. Canvas has the advantage for aircraft developers to make really aircraft specific options available. These vary so much across the board that Qt won't be able to address them anyhow, [...] like the 3d option that Canvas provides. <ref>{{cite web | |||

Thus, Canvas is a good way to make aircraft dialogs future proof and explore the fun of more radical canvas designs.<ref>{{cite web | Thus, Canvas is a good way to make aircraft dialogs future proof and explore the fun of more radical canvas designs.<ref>{{cite web | ||
