In 08/2020, James stated that he was still working (exceptionally slowly!) on replacing PUI (as part of removing legacy OpenGL code (PUI, HUD, 2d panels, porting Canvas away form ShivaVG), so we can switch to Vulkan/VSG at some point (ideally at some point before Apple turn off OpenGL support…)), and that he doesn't think /any/ of us *want* to be working on these features particularly, but projects like these need to be done before anyone can have fun with VSG or Vulkan (personally James would be very enthusiastic about working on VSG support (being on macOS, I also have the most to lose / gain from it)). Sometimes that’s just how it goes. Equally they will all benefit the project ultimately, but the payoff both for the individual and the project is very drawn out. <ref>https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/mailman/message/37077158/</ref> | In 08/2020, James stated that he was still working (exceptionally slowly!) on replacing PUI (as part of removing legacy OpenGL code (PUI, HUD, 2d panels, porting Canvas away form ShivaVG), so we can switch to Vulkan/VSG at some point (ideally at some point before Apple turn off OpenGL support…)), and that he doesn't think /any/ of us *want* to be working on these features particularly, but projects like these need to be done before anyone can have fun with VSG or Vulkan (personally James would be very enthusiastic about working on VSG support (being on macOS, I also have the most to lose / gain from it)).

In 10/2020, the estimation is that PUI should be going away really ‘soon’, the replacement code is already in next / 2020.2. (There’s no plan to actually /use/ the new UI code in 2020.2, but if the bugs in it prove simple, we could actually turn it for specific dialog: it seems very unlikely this makes sense for a stable release however)<ref>https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/mailman/message/37123818/</ref> | |||
