Ah, that's good things to know about the Primus. In general, the reference points I'm working on are the G1000 (which I have a PDF manual for), the Boeing 747-400 / 777 style displays (ditto), and the KLN89B (again, have a PDF manual). I'd love to have a reference describing the Primus, since it seems to be installed in many aircraft. (I'd also love to have an Airbus ref, to see how different it is from the Boeing display). In general, I'm initially focusing on features and visual appearance, not accurate modelling of any specific system. I'm hoping to get something we can hack into many aircraft quickly - all the Boeings and Airbuses, but also the Primus-equipped aircraft. If people's biggest complaint is that feature XYZ is not exactly correct for the A330-400 variant, I will be happy :) If you have some spare time, could you add clickable models / hot- spots for the ND-MCP panel on the 777-200? (and maybe pass the panel onto Gijs for the 747-400, they seem to be virtually identical). I could hook up the range and CTR functions now, and I'll be in a position to do the layer switches in the next few days. I'm hoping to implement the modes via a Nasal script that configures properties on the C++ instrument, but I'd like to confirm that's a valid approach.
