Short term plans

General areas I'm working on, or planning to work on

Convert '2D' panel node to manage its own picking (removing the currently ugly hack for 2.5D panels)
Make the pure 2D panel am FGPanelNode attached to the GUI camera
Convert 2D panel text to use osgText

Clean up renderer scene (especially the GUI camera children) once all its children are nodes which manage their own picking

Re-investigate caching data in a binary format to accelerate startup time (avoid reading nav.dat, apt.dat on launch, and scenery airport data repeatedley)

Extend the GPS code to support more flight-plan functions and en-route information
- Climb/descent computations, based on some aircraft performance data
Allow performance data to be specific per-aircraft
- Initially, basic information such as cruise speed, best climb rates, and so on
- Weight/balance tables
- Vspeeds computations

+=== GUI / renderer ===
+* Migrate PLIB GUI into our source tree, and convert to a set of custom OSG drawables
+** Convert event handling code to use OSG event adapters natively
+** Ensure all state changes occur via update callbacks, and hence mark the GUIs as static
+** Replace puValue with an SGProperty? i.e allow widgets to be directly bound to a property node
+** Convert all text display to use osgText drawables
+** Make layout support native to widgets?
