Does someone already fly with Flight Gear? Here is my point : FG installed on a laptop and configured in such a way that
: Now, a GPS and a "light" AHRS/IMU (like the MT9 of Xsens for instance) is connected to the laptop. At last, the position, altitude, heading, speed, attitude, ... data of the simulation are replaced by the sensor's data. We have here an unrivalled 3D primary flight display. (OK, for accurate Air Speed and Altitude computation, two additional pressure sensors should be connected to the PC to get static and dynamic pressure data. However, GPS Ground Speed and GPS Altitude data are sufficient to validate the concept and much more easier to obtain) This kind of display could be very helpful when flying in IMC because it's always nice to have a clear representation of the surrounding terrain, airfields, antennas, buildings, bridges, ... Flying in real IMC with a synthetic VFR environment could then dramatically increases situation awareness.
