Stuart pushed some significant updates to the FG1000 to fgdata: | |||
# Stuart added the PFD. Most of the instruments are functional. particularly pleased with the inset map (press the INSET softkey). Many thanks to Sebastian Marque who wrote thekv1000, and whose SVG and display code Stuart was about to re-use. | |||
# Proper 3D instruments are now available, so the FG1000 can be added to the cockpit of aircraft. Many thanks to Jean-Paul Anceaux for these. | |||
# Stuart cleaned up some of the interfaces so that you can easily create a UI dialog that mirrors one of the aircraft PFD/MFDs. | |||
There's still a lot of work to do, but it's now suitable for VFR flying, and getting close to the stage where there's sufficient function working that a user could use it for IFR flying, if not editing IFR flightplans. | |||
The current status is available here: [[FG1000]] | |||
There are instructions on the wiki and in the README files on how to add the FG1000 to aircraft for those interested.<ref>{{cite web | |||
