Does anybody know a good program that emulates a Flight Computer (e.g E6B)
on HP48G?
I know this question isn't related to FG, but with so many aviation fans, I
think I can find a good answer :-)
Thanks in advance.

Yup, great advice. Pity python forgot about it:

using a design element that even good, productive programmers don't

Yes, the feature is documented, and there is some code to

Your idea sounds good now - but one curious question I
have: when it really works at runtime, we could do
something like the livery-changing for the textures?

Suggestion: Recompile all of FG with debugging symbols
For quite a while I've been using git to keep track of FlightGear

of a skateboard.
All good :)
I've been doing the same thing for FG and SG (and fgms if that
matters).
