Hi Paule, We use Delphi extensively for flight simulation....OpenGL based rendering, 2D graphics and numerical computes. It performs fabulously. It is a true RAD and tools available in public domain cut down development time to a minimum. The only issue you might face is integrating Delphi with legacy C++ libraries or code. But, if you have access to the source, then this too is possible by writing a few wrapper routines.

I would like to be able to implement numerical integration routines and test them on a standard problem set for various sets of parameters and input data. I would then like to represent the results, typically image transformations, graphically. I can paint and test GUI's rapidly in Delphi, although connecting them to numerical code is sometimes tricky. Is there some way of making three "plug boards": a GUI layer and a test problem layer and a numerical routines layer such that they can be interconnected much like a telephone exchange routining calls where they need to go given the number that was dialed? In a way this question harkens back to Robert's response to the business logic vs gui layer question. Can anyone elaborate that in this case? Any thoughts on this matter would be very useful.
