As a general comment, I've always wished the dialogue boxes would
scroll with the mouse-wheel, especially the property-tree box.
That's a glut/sdl/plib issue. SDL does probably support it, and glut
does probably not (except with scroll-wheel -

Bah. Easy one. Just one line in dialog.cxx. Now, where's the i18n
support? :-]

In some cases you really need slightly more (but still brief) information and
not just a table of key bindings to get started. A scrolling text window that
always displays content from a particular property would do the trick.
Done. It was

We, or rather the code, already know what the keys are. Any chance of
generating this automatically, along the lines of the keys descriptions you
already do?

Not done, because it's not needed yet. The respective aircraft maintainers are
expected to keep their text column narrow enough.
This will work ok at 640x480 without a scroll-able wrap-able text widget?

Yes and no.
(1) no, some of the dialogs will not find place in 640x480
(2) just like a few other dialogs (Fuel payload (depending on a/c),
Weather Conditions)
(3) using

Allow for recoloring the dialogs.
Cool. I've played with an extreme (urine?) yellow in the material dialog.
I wanted to make the red slider red, the green slider green, etc.,
but this does apparently only work for the top level dialog. BTW: it

Yep, I still need to sort that out a bit.

It's probably Andy's layouter that mistakes the color nodes for objects to
put padding around. We'll be able to

It's easy enough to do via Nasal.

Pity about the air-sick green colour :-)
Never mind. For UK aircraft, or if the starting airport is in the UK, then
the dialog will, of course, autmatically be made pink!

True. But as soon as you need to scroll, there's already too much
information. It is no help at all when you are flying and have to scroll
around to search for key bindings etc. Why then not open an external
browser window right away?

provide a framework for adding text to every aircraft. In some cases
you really need slightly more (but still brief) information and not just

The extra info that could be added would be little tips on starting the engine
or taking off. Only unique bits, not a whole POH. I'm thinking maybe one or
two lines in addition to the bindings.
OK. I'm playing with something like this now:
