This is an example Hackathon idea for the Virtual FSWeekend Hackathon 2020.
| Title: | POH Checklists
|
| Potential mentors: | Stuart |
| Intro: | (short intro) |
| Interested Parties: | none |
| Status: | n/a |
| Summary: | n/a |
| Background: | Stuart would like to improve how checklists are displayed within the simulator.
Stuart would be very happy to help anyone who is interested in creating either a generic MFD checklist feature, or to replace the PUI version with a better canvas implementation. [1]So if someone is looking for a Hackathon idea - using QML or Canvas to render checklists so that they look more like a traditional checklist in a POH would be quite a neat little project. [2] The PUI checklist dialog has a bug where selecting a new group doesn't update the checklist selection combo-box. Stuart has tried various tricks to update it, but thinks it's an underlying issue with PUI itself. [3] Hopefully as we move to using Canvas in the future we'll be able to improve the checklist display to include a set of dots linking the items.[4] Trying to do something more complicated with Nasal and PUI is a real pain, and Stuart doesn't think it's worth the effort. One thought he had a while back was it would be nice to replace the checklist function with some Canvas window that looked a bit more like a traditional paper checklist.[5] |
