A Sigma-Tek attitude gyro, for example, looks and works pretty-much
the same as a primary instrument for a Cessna 150 or as a backup
instrument on a 747 -- the differences (such as different voltage for
the backlighting) are pretty trivial. I'd hate to see 100 copies of
the same Sigma-Tek
Something I'd love to see, in the long term, is a GUI that allows
users to customize their panels, just like real aircraft owners do. I
could decide to install a different brand of TC (the default late
1970s Cessna 172P now has a vintage 1950s needle and ball instead of a
TC -- cool, but what's up

Ewww , a GUI to do this ?
Its already pretty easy to point the model section to a different
instrument , and the one Im currently working on , Im creating several panel
files with different layouts that can be selected in the set file , but I'd
hate to see instruments being changeable while in
I think I misunderstood you ... a graphical tool to do this would certainly
speed things up ... currently I used a dummy panel in Blender to find
positions.
I though you meant from the runtime menu :).

Could certainly be done ... perhaps (although maybe a little awkwardly ...
or not?) using the FlightGear gui and nasal infrastructure.
I'm envisioning the 2d panel structure I guess ... probably would be more
complicated with 3d panels.

Interesting idea... Ive got a panel file for each panel layout , but that
changes the entire instrument positions and types , not individual
instruments ...
Might be tricky unless the instrument selection is from the Instruments-3d
folder ...
Just thinking out loud here :)

Of course it would be desireable to have them all in one place and
reference to there, but that would cause severe problems with the
aircraft downloads,

One problem which springs to mind is that there must be many same name files
(e.g. HSI.xml and its related HSI.ac) which are specific to one aircraft and
are in fact entirely different.
These will need to

I agree , there's a lot of duplication ,(in instruments, too) but I think
the problem is author's tastes ...
I've duplicated textures because I dont care for the look , or style ,
etc,of existing ones and Im sure that's the same for other contributors.
So it might be a problem deciding who's get's
