Currently all Im doing is addiing the NAV info , (Nav type , distance , id) , when a Flightdirector mode is activated , but the text problem has slowed development on it .... 2d methods allow any type of string , but is hard to read , and lettering cant be spaced properly .... yes , we definately need something for 3d cockpits.It would be nice to add more modes to the MFD...
