Using pure SVG files, those would also be easy to support via Phi/mongoose without much work. | |||
For that to succeed, it would make sense to extend svg.nas according to the previous comments in the [[FG1000]] discussion. | |||
But apart from that, there's not much missing to pull that off - you'd end up with pure SVG/XML files that would have script sections, which would basically invoke fgcommands to get/set properties. | |||
Using this approach is really the only logical way forward to prepare aircraft for the future, without having to focus on any single front-end like PUI, Qt5, Canvas or whatever else people may tinker with. In particular, this means the following: | |||
* use native SVG files | |||
* use fgcommands only | |||
* register custom Nasal code as fgcommands | |||
That way, any front-end can trigger the events (callbacks) necessary to get/set values as needed and run fgcommands (RPC). | |||
Note that this advice is not specific to the shuttle - and it is not specific to the Canvas system, it will apply just as well to the Phi/Qt5 or FGQCanvas efforts. | |||
Using SVG/XML is the logical thing to do here, because it can be trivially made to work by all front-ends. | |||
Again, if in doubt, I'd suggest to discuss the details with the people involved in the corresponding efforts. | |||
Such SVG files, if used by fgfs internally (via Canvas/Nasal) would only need to use a wrapper to run the same fgcommands and set/get properties as needed (or simply use the httpd based RPC interface implemented by Torsten).<ref>{{cite web | |||
