Omega95 has created an entirely new instrument type for FlightGear, a so called "VSD" (Vertical Situation Display). This was done entirely in scripting space using Nasal and XML animations. He's basically proven everbody wrong who ever claimed that complex instruments couldn't yet be created in scripting space. Apparently, he managed to create this instrument in less than 24 hrs, his first question related to this was about accessing trigonometric functions from Nasal, shortly thereafter he posted screen shots depicting his VSD. To read up on the whole discussion, please see [http://flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=15200]. There's work ongoing to turn his project into a new tutorial for the wiki on creating complex instruments in scripting space: [[Howto: Implement a Vertical Situation Display in Nasal]]. | |||
