In the last couple of days, we have created a new dialog that can be used to easily prototype new [[NavDisplay]] styles, showing multiple ND instances for each pilot, which can be controlled/tested independently (using different settings for range, modes, traffic etc). Once the dialog is closed/reopened, the underlying navdisplay.mfd/styles files are also automatically reloaded from disk, so that you don't need to | In the last couple of days, we have created a new dialog that can be used to easily prototype new [[NavDisplay]] styles, showing multiple ND instances for each pilot, which can be controlled/tested independently (using different settings for range, modes, traffic etc).

Under the hood, this is a conventoinal PUI/XML dialog with multiple embedded CanvasWidget areas that instantiate independent ND instances using a subset of the code commonly found in the aircraft specific ND.nas file, adapted to use the embedded Canvas region for rendering multiple NDs and GUI buttons/widgets added to control the whole thing without necessarily requiring a fully developed cockpit. | Under the hood, this is a conventoinal PUI/XML dialog with multiple embedded CanvasWidget areas that instantiate independent ND instances using a subset of the code commonly found in the aircraft specific ND.nas file, adapted to use the embedded Canvas region for rendering multiple NDs and GUI buttons/widgets added to control the whole thing without necessarily requiring a fully developed cockpit. | ||
