I don't know about dynamic positioning of instruments, but I would find it interesting to have an easy method of selecting alternate instruments for the same position. For example, I have several attitude indicator variations that could be used based on period or pilot/owner preference. This would have application in aircraft like the Grumman Goose, which spans many decades of instrument development.
It would be interesting to have a menu of instrument choices that I could then be saved with other user preferencess. Other than including the different instruments in the same xml/model package, which is clearly not the goal, I don't know how to do this, especially without burdening the system by loading instrument resources that are not used. Currently to do this I write up a little how-to for pulling in a different instrument in the relevant xml, but many folks don't read those details and perhaps miss the configuration possibilities. It would be great to offer an easier more dynamic scheme. -Gary On Sat, Feb 27, 2010 at 3:58 PM, syd adams <adams....@gmail.com> wrote: > I can see 3d instruments being easier .... position them on the panel with a > mouse click then drag them like i did the b1900d manual ... or menu buttons > in a dialog like the ufo does scenery objects for finer adjustments ... > I suppose the 2d instrument placement would be almost the same... > Dont know if I like the idea of moving instruments around in flight , but > then I guess the new arrangement would need to be written to a file to be > permenant . > Cheers ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
