* A very basic PFD is available with horizon, compass rose, altimeter, speed tape.
* PFD is largely complete. Transponder, NRST, ALT units and alternative units still to implement.
* Initial implementation of the MFD is available on git/next.  It is integrated with the [[Route Manager|route manager]], GPS and the generic NAV/COM radios.  It displays engine information from a single piston engine, and can be used as an EFB.
* MFD is functional, and now includes display and editing of the current flightplan, along with moving map, engine information.
* MFD and PFD can be displayed as a GUI window under Debug menu or added to an aircraft with the GDU-1045 model as part of a 3D cockpit.
