I noticed there were some changes in the ogcDataSource and
ogcFSUIPCDataSource, but haven't had a chance to investigate further. Did
not see anything in the CVS notes/remarks to indicate the changes.

Mostly with build path names for includes and libs. For some reason, the
build can't locate the glut libraries at link time. The old Unix make/build
works with the old gltt stuff. Using Ross's make/build from CVS, tried a few
things. Nada,

Finished a first cut last night, called ogcAFDS_Annun(), runs as a gauge in
ogcBoeing777PFD.cpp. Location referenced off the ADI.

Beginning to think that somewhere, somehow, there has to be a Flight
Management Computer (FMC) , autopilot if you will, that controls the
aircraft and sends display info to the PFD. There are around 27 display msgs
that go to the AFDS annunciator that describe the active and armed states of
the autopilot(s). (Check your 747 flight manual for details)

Don't know what FS2000 does,  fgfs is very basic.Okay for a cessna or piper
but won't support a 747/777 class system.
Using a 747 for a model, but I suspect the 777 is not all that different.

Something has to configure the display via msgs; over the LAN, or a
concurrent application running within the same box , or a process running
inside the opengc main(). I can pretty much handle the Unix/Linux side,
clueless when it comes to windows.

I think you can safely do your thing. Turns out, getting ILS in is fairly
simple, getting it to scale is another problem. wondering if ALL sims use
the same units, coordinates, values, conversions, whatever to show ILS
display deviations. Have the hooks to get the nav info from fgfs - show me
the location for the course/glideslope devs and ogcFGDataSource will plug
'em in.
