I've been thinking about the JSBSim shuttle model lately, and making a HUD for it (at some point). Here is a diagram of the set of symbols which can appear on the shuttle HUD:
http://www.hal-pc.org/~jsb/HUD.jpg There are a few things missing, but it's almost all there. The thing is, I don't know if it is possible to draw the runway outline using our configurable HUD, and I am especially doubtful that the Guidance diamond would be possible to do. It might be possible to use the configurable autopilot/FCS capabilities of JSBSim to calculate guidance targets, but even if we could, I am not sure how the information could make it back to FGFS. Also, for landing there is an important CRT page that would display (using OpenGC?) called SPEC 50 (HORIZ SIT). See page 18 of this document: http://www.shuttlepresskit.com/scom/213.pdf The shuttle is seen on the display, the runway, the outline of the heading alignment cone (HAC), and the predictor marks (where the shuttle is predicted to be at 15, 30, and 45 seconds (IIRC) in the future given current steering). Also, the panel looks like this: http://oea.larc.nasa.gov/news_rels/2000/art/glasscockpit/EL-2000-00037.JPG It would be nice to model some of the left side stuff. Question: What is the state of fgfs integration with OpenGC, now? Jon
