| === RFC Topics === | | <span style="font-size:105%; font-weight:bold">Effects and shaders</span><br /> |
| '''Clarification:''' In its current form, the RFC section is exclusively based on and covered by previous mailing list and forum discussions (as well as various wiki entries), as such it is not supposed to reflect work in progress (RFC="Request For Comments" and not WIP), but is rather to be seen as an attempt to provide comprehensive analyses and summaries of key issues identified in various FlightGear related discussions and feature requests (which are to be linked to in the corresponding resource sections, if that didn't yet take place, it's because of most of these RFCs being indeed WIP).
| | <span style="font-style:italic;"> |
|
| | [[Shaders]] · [[Project Rembrandt]]<br/> |
| Thus, RFC entries are not meant to imply anyone "working" on any of these issues, in fact only because an RFC entry is listed here doesn't necessarily mean that work on that particular issue is prioritized or generally endorsed by the FlightGear community.
| | [[Howto:Shader Programming in FlightGear|Shader programming in FlightGear]]<br/> |
| These RFC documents are however intended to hopefully help increase and maintain awareness of long-standing issues and challenges affecting FlightGear's evolution and overall development progress in order to solicit community feedback about possible approaches to address these in an efficient and structured fashion.

| Anybody is welcome to comment on, help refine and develop new strategies to tackle the challenges presented in these and future RFCs.

| * [[Autopilot Enhancements]] - enhancing the autopilot infrastructure.
| | {{Main page/Leftbox|title=Put a piece of yourself into FlightGear! |
| * [[Backwards Compatibility Initiative]] - discussing possible ways to improve FlightGear's backwards compatibility.
| | |contents=In FlightGear, "development" is [[Howto:Understand the FlightGear development process|anything that improves the project]]. So, it's not just code-related [[Howto:Start core development|core development]]. There's also [[Portal:Developer/Scenery|scenery development]], [[Portal:Developer/Aircraft|aircraft development]] and all the stuff you can see in the column here on the right. If you want an extended overview, check out the [[Volunteer]] page. |
| * [[Distributed Interactive Simulation|Multiplayer Enhancements]] - discussing possible steps to enhance FlightGear's Multiplayer support.
| | |
| * [[FDM engine feature standardization]] - discussing possible steps to standardize feature support of mainstream FlightGear FDM engines.
| | Actually that's not all you can contribute. There's also documentation, with the [[FlightGear Manual]]... and this wiki of course! To contribute to the wiki, head off to the [[Portal:Wiki|Wiki Portal]]. There's a lot to do there too. |
| * [[FlightGear Glass Cockpits]] - discussing required infrastructure changes to enable non-developers to easily access FlightGear-internals in order to enable them to model complex glass cockpit-type aircraft instrumentation systems.
| | |
| * [[FlightGear Headless]] - discussing required steps to enable FlightGear to be used as its own regression testing framework
| | If you want to get in touch with other developers, register an account at the [http://forum.flightgear.org/viewforum.php?f=18 forum], and for core development subscribe to the [[mailing list]] too and consider visiting the {{tickets|Bug tracker}}. |
| * [[FlightGear Sessions]] - discussing possible steps to finally allow aircraft to be reliably switched at runtime.
| | |
| * [[Formalizing Aircraft Status]] - discussing suggestions about how to more properly describe aircraft development status.
| | Remember: we might call it volunteering, but what should drive you is [[How the FlightGear project works|the fun of doing something]]. |
| * [[Keyboard function priority list]] - reorganizing FlightGear keybindings. | | }} |
| * [[Next Generation Scenery ]] - revamping the FG scenery engine. | | |
| * [[Property Tree Reorganization]] - reorganizing the property tree (i.e. implementing and enforcing existing property/node naming conventions). | | {{Main page/Leftbox|title=For core developers |
| * [[Recommended Property Tree Enhancements]] - discussing possible property tree enhancements to help ensure integrity of crucial runtime state. | | |contents= |
| * [[Recommended Project Policies]] - discussing recommended policies for future contributions to the project.

| * [[Simplifying Aircraft Deployment]] - identifying potential steps to simplify deployment of FlightGear aircraft.
| | See [[:Category:Developer Plans]] to see a list of developer plans for the upcoming release. |
| | See [[request for comments]] for a list of long-standing issues and challenges affecting FlightGear's evolution and overall development progress (admittedly a little outdated meanwhile). Also see the [http://build.flightgear.org:8080 Jenkins build page] and the {{tickets|Bug tracker}}. |
