Over the last couple of days Stuart pushed some further updates to the FG1000. | |||
# Integration with NAV/COM properties via an Emesary bridge. Amongst other things, this now means that you can select a frequency from (say) the Nearest Airports page, press ENT and have it loaded into the standby NAV/COM channel of the selected radio. | |||
# A new GUI using an SVG kindly created by Michat on the forum. | |||
It is now pretty usable as a moving map and EFB, though Stuart is still planning to integrate the route manager. He think it's now at the stage where it would be worth starting integration work with some aircraft. In particular it would be good to offer a version of the Cessna 172 with it. Stuart will contact the c172p-detailed team to see if they are interested. One major piece of work Stuart hasn't yet started is writing the PFD. If someone is interested in helping out, that would be a very good piece of work to be able to hand off, as it's somewhat self-contained so there's less problem stepping on each others toes, and the building-blocks for writing it are already there. If anyone is interesed, get in touch :) <ref>{{cite web | |||
