blown leaves and dynamically painting the foliage part of the texture with
alpha to make leaves fall off on windy weather..? ;) Kinda special case and
maybe not worth the effort but might be quite awesome jaw-dropper on
I totally agree with your reasoning. The reflections might look cool, but
they generally just get in the way of flying the airplane. Same with
instrument glass reflections. Optional would be fine.
I have flown with some dirty and scratched windshields, and can verify what

Hi.
Two things: First, keep us posted of your progress :) I am also working on
simulator stuff at our aviation club, so this kind of stuff is interesting to
follow.
Another thing that comes to my mind is a spherical door projection example I
remember seeing on README.multiscreen (or it was

better and autocorrected..

want. Feel free to use it as a texture if you find it helpful.
Btw, we had QNH of 1055 hPa last week and the local aviation forum

Actually, heck. I have some more too, if someone finds them useful. These
were taken from a piper sales promo event at our airport in 2003 (time
flies... :-)) where they promoted the new piper Saratoga and Archer. They
are the new interior/panel style but pre-GarminG1000 age. So, kinda

Just a random thought: does (could) it have both hPa and InHg scale in the
baro window? Would be very practical. Those exist in real life, there sre
just two baro scale windows on opposite sides of the gauge face.

If I am understanding you correctly, you want to get access to various
variables within flightgear. Isn't the Property Tree via telnet or http
something that might work for you? Should be easy to access it from a web
service even. Or define a generic protocol, the wiki had an example how to
make

Hello.
I was talking about this on irc before as well. I am testing stuff on an
older macbook running Ubuntu, and with fg 2.4 I could set the enable
shaders master switch in rendering options to off, and without 3d clouds I
got about 25fps, which was ok for testing panels and developing gauges

This is another way to set FPS limit to about 2 ;-) But it was off

NOTAM has usually a time of validity, so permanent/long term changes
usually end up as an AIP supplement which have a longer lifespan.
Closed runways have a big white X on both ends of the runway (I guess if it

One more thought: Should completely closed airports be
Wouldn't it be useful to somehow flag the airport as
closed/restricted/whatever in the data, so that nav displays and gps/fms
units could show a different airfield symbol if desired for closed
airports? Does the data format support this?
FG could say (closed) in the end also based on the flag,
Hmm. As far as I know, METAR snow information only focuses on the
runway surface. Imagine a nice sunny day in late march, where the
runway is just dry asphalt, yet there can be lots of snow in the
ground. On the other hand, if the runway surface has snow, we can
pretty safely assume it exists on
Ok, I made a pretty gross hack for now, and used EGT but made the
gauge show 100°F higher :-P
On the other hand, since I am making a custom panel for the senecaII
anyway, I could just make the gauges EGT for now, as they serve more
or less the same purpose in engine management anyway.

would fail on missing symbols on libz otherwise.
