After some debating in IRC ...
Can we please add a second DME device to Generic/generic-instruments.xml?
i.e.
<dme>
<name>dme</name>
<number>1</number>
</dme>
It is ***NOT*** possible to create extra devices within an aircraft's local
config files. I've tried it and it does NOT work.
All you end up with are some properties but nothing that drives them.
The majority of large airliners have a DME device per NAV radio and don't
feature DME switching between NAV 1 and NAV 2 like a lot of the smaller
aircraft nav systems have.
At the moment it's impossible to have two DME distances displayed in a
cockpit.
If the tacan, KT-70, wxradar, mk-viii which are not generic can live in
generic-instruments.xml then I see no argument against a second dme
instrument living in there too especially if that's the only place to do it.
Thanks
Paul
