+'''Help needed:'''
+Creating an integrated [[Canvas]] based GUI launcher/package manager {{Issue|1295}}:
+{{cquote|For aircraft, the system supports aircraft dirs, there is the package manager code which works but is currently unused, which can download and extract zipped aircraft. This needs a GUI but thanks to the new reset architecture we can finally build this GUI inside FG - i.e an ‘aircraft chooser’ UI - however I am find building such a UI rather outside my comfort zone. If anyone would like to help in this area, let me know.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/mailman/message/32239376/

 {{cquote|There are some pending merge requests[http://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/mailman/flightgear-devel/thread/533DBD01.9040802%40sol2500.net/#msg32183541] to add some YASim features, but we have an issue that since none of the current C++ developers own, or are experts in YASim, we're reluctant to be the person who merges such changes, and potentially introduces subtle regressions.
