Development status/Issues/Todo

Outside:

• aircraft is textured but hull could need a material texture (maybe we need multi texturing for that)
  • possible in due course
• engine turbine does not rotate or is not visible
  • only just visible from certain angles in real life
• low priority for implemenatation
• probably not worth the vertex count
• nozzle do not change shape when changing thrust
  • it doesn't

3D Cockpit:

• no elevator trim control available
  • controlled by the tophat on the control column in real life
• use the keyboard or joystick
• cockpit is not textured
  • unlikely to be changed
• pilot is not textured
  • too difficult right now
    • done

General:

• engine sound in cockpit does not differ from outside engine sound
  • later
• engines can't be turned off
  • YASim doesn't model this
  • needs an improved fuel system to be modelled
• no hud available
  • no HUD in real life - disabled in model
• flightgear crashes when using hunter-2tanks alias
  • it doesn't here. If it does for you please file a full bug report.
