Good Day everybody, first of all, let me introduce myself: My name is Claus, I am an aerospace student at GeorgiaTech and recently got into FlightGear in relation to one of my research projects. I have been not so good on reading the FG-devel email list, but have had quite some interactions on the FG IRC chat with other FG enthusiasts.
For my research project I need(ed) a somewhat functional Boeing style CDU. So I got into contact with Gijs de Roy and started to learn about his CDU project, then still in this git repo for the 744. I started to make a wiki writeup for Gijs CDU (http://wiki.flightgear.org/Howto:_Development_of_the_CDU, not up to date anymore) to learn about how Gijs implemented the CDU. As I needed the CDU to be fairly "flexible" - particularly in respect to [ages outside the currently implementation - I decided to change from a XML approach to a more Nasal based approach. I have finished a first draft of my code and started to write some documentation for it in the FG wiki. I would like to ask for some dev's to check out my code and make any suggestions for improvements. As I have the clearance to release the code under GPL v2, I also would like to offer to merge this into the main FG repository. You can find my code at https://gitorious.org/~hcc23/fg/hcc23s-fgdata/commits/cdu-development The docu is contained in these two wiki pages (and will be expanded) http://wiki.flightgear.org/Nasal_CDU_Framework http://wiki.flightgear.org/Howto:_Coding_a_Boeing_CDU I am very much looking forward to hearing back from you, particularly with comments and improvement suggestions.
