* 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.

* <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.. | * <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.. | ||

* 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 | ||
* extend sgsubsystem class to optionally publish each subsystem's actual update interval (determined at runtime) to a specific property, this will allow simple nasal scripts to deal with any issues (i.e. show warnings) if a certain subsystem is not, or cannot be run at a certain update interval. As more and more complex subsystems are getting added to FlightGear this would add the possibility for automatic detection of subsystems that cannot be run at proper update intervals, i.e. due to old/slow hardware. Ultimately, this could also make it easier to add auto-scaling support to FlightGear.
