 : Indeed, the timing for this can be a little tricky. Not having [[CompositeViewer Support]] is the main showstopper regarding terrain views in cockpit elements. Jules is working on this so we should be seeing progress in this area quite soon. If you don't mind using Jules' fork, then I guess it should be possible to start work on this, although he has mentioned that he doesn't deem the effort production-ready just yet. I'd recommend to postpone this until every "ingredient" is ready.

+:: Well, just today, Jules has posted an update to the devel list: https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/mailman/message/37126783/
+:: The summary is that he's made a lot of progress over the last couple of weeks, and that he's basing his work off Compositor support - however, he ran also into issues related to OSG 3.4, issues that are solved when using OSG 3.6 - that, however, brings with it other issues - namely [[Post_FlightGear_2020.2_LTS_changes#Canvas|regressions in the osgtext department]]. James stated quite clearly that there are some MacOS/Compositor and osgText issues that needs to be fixed first for the Compositor/CompositeViewer work to land in next. In other words, it seems unlikely that working on this particular idea is going to be particularly fruitful - at least not for the time being. --[[User:Hooray|Hooray]] ([[User talk:Hooray|talk]]) 16:00, 11 October 2020 (EDT)
