− | Recently, we were talking about implementing a standalone [[FGCanvas]] client, analogous to [[FGPanel]] - in order to be able to render [[Canvas]] instruments separately, on different computers. | + | Recently, we were talking about implementing a standalone [[FGCanvas]] client, analogous to [[FGPanel]] - in order to be able to render [[Canvas]] instruments separately, in different processes and also on different computers. |
| However, obviously this new startup mode would not need many of the default subsystems, such as the FDM, sound, terrain etc. But, many of these subsystems are initialized in a hard coded fashion so that they cannot currently be made optional even though they may not be stricly required. Also, for a very long time, it's never been possible to fully reset FlightGear properly, this makes many things very difficult or even impossible, including the [[FGCanvas]] idea. | | However, obviously this new startup mode would not need many of the default subsystems, such as the FDM, sound, terrain etc. But, many of these subsystems are initialized in a hard coded fashion so that they cannot currently be made optional even though they may not be stricly required.
