Hi there,
i want to ask if there is are any efforts in implementing a FMC for
flightgear? i'd like to have one for the 737, because in long term i
want a free 737 like the one from PMDG for the MSFS...
cu Markus
That would take some serious work but the big obstacle is getting enough
information so that one can replicate the internal workings of the FMC.
Manuals and input from real world pilots and crew would be neccessary.
A few photos of a FMC menus and some general knowledge just isn't going to cut
it unless you want a watered down, generic FMC.
I can't remember whether it was a PMDG or Flight1 addon but one of the
developers mentioned that it took him an entire year to code an FMC.
And that's not just an hour every evening. :)
I dug through my archives and it turns out I have a copy of a 737 FMC
users guide. I'd be willing to offer that up to someone who is really
serious about working on it.
Curt.
