Yes. It'd be great if someone wanted to start working on an FMC subsystem. What I'm doing here is just display level, working with the data we already have. > Is the stuff you are doing in any way related to OpenGC?

Other than that, OpenGC is actually a much more powerful application that I'm not attempting to emulate. I've only looked at the code a little, and haven't set it up, but IIRC the digital display textures are generated dynamically. What I'm doing here is a lot simpler (gimp and ac3d). That said, there will be an engine display, and fortunately the 747 one looks easier to do this way than the one in OpenGC.
