On the 2D panel and the HUD, we already have visual control feedback. On the 3D panel, we can replace the scale indicators with a moving yoke. For the FPS, which I think is a really good idea, at one time it was an element in the standard HUD as well as being in the non-HUD default. If you put an instrument in the corner of the 2D panel that looks like a fuel gauge with a non-linear scale, we can put in colored segments: * RED 0-10 fps ... unacceptable for any FAA training-related usage * YELLOW 10-25 fps ... acceptable for training, but doesn't look nice * GREEN 25-60 fps ... smooth scrolling television camera-like motion * uncolored 60-100 fps ... completely pointless rates (not human visible) _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
