Please post your instrument requests here, so that other people can more easily track what's going on, hopefully avoiding duplicate efforts. | Please post your '''instrument requests''' here, so that other people can more easily track what's going on, hopefully avoiding duplicate efforts. | ||
Creating new instruments or updating and improving existing ones is another good way to get started contributing to FlightGear, for an introduction please see [[Creating instruments for FG]]. | Creating new instruments or updating and improving existing ones is another good way to get started contributing to FlightGear, for an introduction please see [[Creating instruments for FG]]. | ||

AndersG created the Televel fuel contents gauge as used in the [[Short Empire|Short S.23]] "Empire flying boat" and Short S.25 Sunderland. This gauge is used for fuel level reading. The aircraft using this fine piece of instrumentation is WiP (work in progress) and is available in FlightGear/git. | AndersG created the Televel fuel contents gauge as used in the [[Short Empire|Short S.23]] "Empire flying boat" and Short S.25 Sunderland.

Syd Adams created a radio communication. One bug appear : When the radio is OFF you can change frequencies... This is impossible in real life ;) | Syd Adams created a radio communication. One bug appear : When the radio is OFF you can change frequencies... This is impossible in real life ;) | ||

The screens in the cockpit will eventually need modeling. If someone has the pictures, info and/or ability for making these screens, it would be very useful. It has twice the display space of the 777 for comparison. I don't know the real names of these screens, either. | The screens in the cockpit will eventually need modeling.

This would actually seem like a VERY interesting project for a new Nasal based instrument (a FLARM is basically TCAS for gliders): | This would actually seem like a VERY interesting project for a new Nasal based instrument (a FLARM is basically TCAS for gliders): | ||
