: The more the better, Hooray. I think what we should do first is to put down stuff that affects the missiles specs, such as guidance types, seeker type, etc., then split these into categories, such as FDM, Seeker, etc., and work from there. | : The more the better, Hooray.

:: Sure, but you'll find that most of these requirements will basically evolve automatically once you start refactoring the existing code into separate classes and files, while still supporting additional aircraft/use-cases. That is basically what we did with Gijs' [[NavDisplay]] code - and it can now be used on arbitrary aircraft, while also supporting an arbitrary number of instances per aircraft. We are even supporting an "AI aircraft" mode-which means that you can get a ND view for an arbitrary AI aircraft (including even AI nodes like a Bombable bot or AI missile). To make things sufficiently flexible and configurable we're using "behavior hashes" that can override default behavior (fields/methods). With efforts like these, over-engineering is a very real danger - it will probably get you farther to just refactor the existing code and incrementally make it support additional use-cases/aircraft, and extend the code over time. Currently, the main issue still is that the module is aircraft specific-once this restriction is removed, you'll see other aircraft developers join the effort over time, especially those without any stakes in the m2000-5, but still interested in combat feature.--[[User:Hooray|Hooray]] ([[User talk:Hooray|talk]]) 17:04, 28 October 2014 (UTC) | |||
