Meanwhile, I would prefer coming up with a real MFD framework that manages different displays/screens and image sources. | |||
That should then also help with PFD/ND/CDU and EICAS/EFIS stuff. | |||
Philosopher's MapStructure framework has been specifically designed to support the notion of controllers for these things, so need to add any heavy hacks to the code - we should better work together and ensure that MapStructure ends up in fgdata soon enough ... | |||
Gijs already started working on a MFD creation framework for the 744, and as previously mentioned, certain features are going to be identical - regardless of aircraft, i.e. bizjet, boeing, airbus etc - most MFDs will have knobs to adjust brightness or change video sources - so I'd rather keep the general design in mind here, and not implement such things specifically for a certain aircraft. Ultimately, it really just boils down to mapping a few properties to the corresponding canvas properties. | Gijs already started working on a MFD creation framework for the 744, and as previously mentioned, certain features are going to be identical - regardless of aircraft, i.e. bizjet, boeing, airbus etc - most MFDs will have knobs to adjust brightness or change video sources - so I'd rather keep the general design in mind here, and not implement such things specifically for a certain aircraft.
