New ATC client
A new ATC software for the FlightGear network has been announced on the forum, called ATC-pie. Any regular ATC or person with aviation background who wishes to participate in its beta-testing phase is invited to visit the brand new wiki page ATC-pie, where details can be found. It is programmed in Python3 for Qt5, so both platforms and the python3-qt5 bindings must be installed. That done, it is meant to work straight away, with no other resource to install or make/compile command to run. No need to install or update FlightGear, download scenery or fetch any external resource before it can run.
Aircraft documentation
A tool for generating documentation based on the aircraft available in FlightGear was announced on the forum. It parses it's checklists and renders a nice PDF. It's possible for the aircraft developers to add additional information to the pdf. The Boeing 777 series serves as an example. The documentation will be published on a central location, check out the new wiki page Documentation compiler for more information. More features for this generator are being suggested; any feedback is welcome!
