This is my first post, I'm a newbie, but for educational purpose I'm trying to modify FlighGear (great compliments for all the developers, it is wonderful). In particular I need to place a little module of artificial intelligence which (for the moment) can hide or show an instrument dynamically as the parameters, like altitude, vertical speed, or pitch and others, varies through the simulation. I'm supposing that collecting this info and implementing the AI module is not diffcult, I've got some questions about the INSTRUMENTATION. I'm novice and i found that parsing the classes is really difficult for me, the structure of the instrument looks to me really nested, I suppose it so for the XML parser. I want to ask you something about the best way to hide dinamically an instrument. Is it necessary to include an additional layer for each instrument and if it is possible dinamically changing the alpha channel, or there is an attribute somewhere in the classes callable to hide a panel, a layer or an instrument? The second option is the best for my work. Is there a place to go on the web to understand or to collect some information about the structures and the tree of the classes of FlightGear?
So, thanks to all, and if you can write down a line of code about how to call the right parameter to hide an instrument ON THE FLY.....I know this is a quite stupid request but it could be really useful for me....... For your information I'm using Flightear 0.91 with 0.31 simgear, because this is the only version that I figured to build up with MSVC 7.0.
