Right now you can get good displays (Magenta, Elite PS, PS1, etc) for MS FS200x, but as some have noted the flight dynamics may not be all that rigorous and do not support UDP/TCP/IP protocols and are not open source. FlightGear modeling is world class! So now we need a set of world class glass displays that match the capabilities of the above mentioned products and work with FG > I hear you 5x5 but this is exactly why we have a network interface > so that the 'add-ons' can run anywhere. > Networks are the "mother's milk" of home cockpit builders. > As I said it is 'nice' that we can run in a window and I also use windowed > mode alot esp. when debugging etc., and we certainly want to keep this > capability, but IMHO 'windowed mode' should not be our 'primary target'.. > I haven't figured out how to run "outside" of windows (MS or X) so the code reflects my state of knowledge. So far I've been seeing frame rates of 55-60fps on the FG side and around 30fps on the opengc side (you wouldn't believe all the "tiny little triangles" used to create the ftgl fonts, as compared to the bitmap fonts). So the 'windowed mode' is down in the noise and doesn't appear on my horizon ATM.
