== Known Limitations == | |||
There are a few limitations of the FlightGear multi-camera/view/display system. Tim Moore is the person who developed this feature (nothing existed before his efforts) and maybe he can offer more insight. For example, in the case of: | |||
* menus ([[PUI]]) | |||
* HUD | |||
* 2d instrument panels | |||
there would need to be some significant code restructuring to allow these to be displayed on other windows.<ref>http://www.mail-archive.com/flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg27114.html</ref> | |||
There's a limitation in Plib that forces the GUI to be drawn on one window.<ref>http://www.mail-archive.com/flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg27134.html</ref> | |||
