Am new to flightgear. Are there any APIs, demos, documentation related
to using flightgear as a Situational Awareness display?
Something like a central server serving real-time object type/position
info (F15, F22, MIG29, AIM9), sent out to a cluster of displays, each
info packet having the related object info (Roll,Pitch,Yaw,Heading,GPS
coordinates, etc)?
Then a person seated at one of the displays (Windows,MAC,Linux,etc)
controls the view via commands like (click identifier in menu, goto
view as chase, boresight, cockpit, etc.)
I see a number of comments in the archives about networking and
XML...does the team already have goals along these lines in process?
It sounds like you may have a specific project in mind. Most likely FG
can't directly do exactly everything you want, but we have many of the
pieces in place.
We can setup a single copy of FlightGear as a "master" machine and
"slave" any number of machines from the master (for multiple
out-the-window view channels, or for remotely monitoring a flight, or
whatever you want to use it for.)
I think we could still stand a little development in the area of drawing
DCS objects from an external information source ... we have some of the
pieces in place, but not everything.
In these sorts of situations we hope that we have enough pieces in place
to attract your attention and get you to use FlightGear for your
project, and then when you add the additional features you need,
contribute them back to the project and everyone benefits.
Regards,
Curt.
