* provide runtime configurable friction coefficients for runways to simulate contaminated runways (dirt, water, snow/ice) at runtime and export corresponding properties to property tree | * provide runtime configurable friction coefficients for runways to simulate contaminated runways (dirt, water, snow/ice) at runtime and export corresponding properties to property tree | ||
* extend weather modelling subsystem to simulate weather features such as thermals, gusts or windshear more extensively and realistically. This would also come in very handy for sailplane/gilder modelling which is currently not yet satisfactorily simulated. | * extend weather modelling subsystem to simulate weather features such as thermals, gusts or windshear more extensively and realistically.

* add openGL wrapper commands to the Nasal interpreter, so that users can make use of basic OpenGL calls (the primitives at least) from their scripts, optionally allow to render to a texture rather than directly to the screen, i.e. useful for things like a scripted display (CDU/moving map) | * <strike>add openGL wrapper commands to the Nasal interpreter, so that users can make use of basic OpenGL calls (the primitives at least) from their scripts, optionally allow to render to a texture rather than directly to the screen, i.e. useful for things like a scripted display (CDU/moving map)</strike> Don't try to bypass the SceneGraph, instead, use proper interfaces/modelling.. | ||
* add support for registration labels to be drawn at runtime to an aircraft's tail-possibly using ImageMagick (or maybe just PLIB's FNT library) and rendering the text to a texture, so that airplanes can optionally show proper registrations (taken form the property tree) in multiplayer or AI traffic scenarios | * add support for registration labels to be drawn at runtime to an aircraft's tail-possibly using ImageMagick (or maybe just PLIB's FNT library) and rendering the text to a texture, so that airplanes can optionally show proper registrations (taken form the property tree) in multiplayer or AI traffic scenarios | ||
* Make HUDs completely XML-configurable, so that users can easily create their own customized HUDs using arbitrary values from the property tree and generic OpenGL primitives as well as animations | * Make HUDs completely XML-configurable, so that users can easily create their own customized HUDs using arbitrary values from the property tree and generic OpenGL primitives as well as animations | ||
