[Flightgear-devel] Clickable 3D panel

[Julian Foad]

Lovely stuff. For those who were wondering why it seems intermittently broken, what seems to be happening is the 2D panel hotspots are always active as well, and they pick up the mouse clicks as well (or instead, if the 2D hotspot area overlaps a 3D hotspot area). So there are two places you can click to get the autopilot "wing leveler" button, or any other button. One where you can see the button, and another where the same button would appear on the other type of panel.

A minor misalignment of some of the hotspots makes one or two controls a little awkward (e.g. COM1 tuning button). That is nothing to do with the 3D code; they are misaligned in the 2D view as well. That is, if you click just to the left of the centre of that knob it should decrease the digits but it increases them instead. A way to display the hot-spot outlines would be useful for checking and debugging ... don't know if that's as easy as it sounds though.
