The cheaper units tells you to do a u-turn. I'm not sure if either is particularly applicable for aviation though. :-D Regards George -- Download Intel#174; Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

[Flightgear-devel] Yoke mounted PDA
Has anyone made a 3D model of a PDA that attaches nicely to the existing yoke XML files? I'm thinking of portrait orientation with the form factor of an iPhone, android phone, etc, etc. -- Download Intel#174; Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

I made an iPad that looks pretty OK, but it used images from the Apple website as textures, so not completely GPL :) Has anyone made a 3D model of a PDA that attaches nicely to the existing yoke XML files?

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Yoke mounted PDA
Cool, but wouldn't it make sense to support common portable aviation GPS's first? As far as smartphone-type-things go, it's hard to get any wireless coverage in the air (they started blocking upward transmission about 3-4 years ago), and the iPad is so big it would block most of the primary instruments anyway, but you'll find one of the units from this page attached to the yoke of most privately-owned planes: https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?cID=156 (I use an old GPSMap 196 myself, and it serves me very well).
