Hello everyone,
Since mid-summer I've been working on a free and open-source stand-alone
ATC client written in C++, totally from scratch with the help of the GTKmm
GUI toolkit (http://www.gtkmm.org/en/) and the Cairo 2D graphics library (
http://www.cairographics.org/). I started this as a project to learn from
and take some practice while developing it at the same time, as well as
satisfying my needs of a complete and more professional ATC client for
FlightGear.
I knew about the ongoing development of the Canvas system (it is looking
awesome, keep going!), but I didn't think about its possible application to
current ATC aircrafts in FlightGear.
I've already seen opinions about the subject. Some people think it is just
useless to start something from scratch when you have a huge framework such
as SimGear, or when you can work directly in FlightGear with Nasal. Me, and
other people's opinion is that a stand-alone client is a good idea. I've
heard of many people who want to ATC properly in FG, but their computers
can't run it, and if they can, really badly. Also a program designed
specially for something is usually much better than a "patch" on another
program.
So as said in the FlightGear's wiki article about the subject, I would like
to coordinate my ideas with the core developers.
Icecode.
