feedback for
FlightGear based application concept required

Hi !
I would like to have some feedback about an idea for a FlightGear based
project that
I recently came up with. As the idea is not that easy to describe with
one or two
sentences, I was recommended to present the idea on a webpage and ask
for other
opinions on the FlightGear mailing list - and that's exactly what I am
doing now.
In short: I am thinking about the possibilites to create an interactive
training/lesson addon
for FlightGear to provide on the one hand interactive help for
FlightGear's most essential
features but also -even more interesting: to interactively illustrate
topics such as navigation
concepts by using FlightGear as backend. This project should be based on
two parts:
a "player" (to be loaded/running within FlightGear) and also an
authoring tool to enable
easy creation of the training modules for the player.
You can find more details at http://flitetutor.sourceforge.net
I am currently mainly looking for answers to some of the following
questions:
- is there demand for an application like this ?
- how many people would actually want to use it (if available) ?
- how feasible would it be to implement such an application with
FlightGear as backend ?
and for the developers among you:
- is there anything like a general API in order to interface with
FlightGear (either externally or as a plugin) ?
- has anybody experience with writing similar extensions for
FlightGear ?
- is there a way to directly access FlightGear's client area (e.g.
via PSL) to display custom animations ?
- and of course: would anybody like to join the attempt to turn that
concept into something useful ? (it's gonna be a spare time
project anyway)
For simplicity reasons, and also in order not to disturb the mailing
list that much, I did also set up a basic
forum on the same webpage - just in case this should be more convenient
for some of you (there is
no need to register in order to post)
Any feedback is appreciated - thanks in advance !
regards
Boris
