About
This page is about building your own procedure trainer device using basically FlightGear, other OpenSource software and home brew hardware. It is probably far from being a FNPT Flight Navigation Procedure Trainer , so I'd like to call it a PMPT for Poor Man's Procedure Trainer. The goal is to have most of the components, "real" FNPT have:
- A realistic flight dynamics model
- An instrument panel with realistic looking instruments and controls with realistic behaviour.
- An outside 3d-view rendering the world scenery (but not our own aircraft)
- As many controls as affordable (yoke, rudder, switches, buttons, radios)
- Aircraft is completely flyable without keyboard and/or mouse
