The model looks good. Do you have a model number for the unit? It looks like it says BendixKing. I would like to see how you designed the model of the GPS unit. Whether and how you used NASAL script to implement its functions and how much it relies on the existing GPS unit instrument model. I would like to know which properties you used, the standard GPS ones or ones internal to your GPS unit model. Perhaps both. The Digitrak needs a way to know if it is receiving a valid GPS signal. I modeled this with a manually controlled switch, but I would prefer that it be able to look to some standard property that would tell it the GPS is functioning and has waypoints available. If the standard GPS is the mechanism for the GPS faceplates, then I could look to that. Otherwise, I would need to know where each individual GPS unit's props are or there needs to be a standard property established. Of course, the GPS/NAV switch is not needed because the Digitrak only accepts course information from. I look forward to trying your GPS unit when you release it. In addition, I would like to see the Digitrak included in the standard distribution someday, once I resolve any copyright problems with the face. It would be nice to do a 3d face.
