Hi Kavya,
I think you have just summarized all the limitations of the FlightGear
multi-camera/view/display system. Tim Moore is the person who developed
this feature (nothing existed before his efforts) and maybe he can offer
more insight. I know that in the case of menus, hud, 2d instrument panels,
there would need to be some significant code restructuring to allow these to
be displayed on other windows.
One possible way to work around some of these issues would be to leverage
multiple machines talking to each other via network packets ... that may or
may not be an option in your situation, but I thought I'd mention it in case
you hadn't previously considered it.
Regards,
Curt.
