If you want an additonal window from the OS to display OpenGL you also need a new OpenGL context. Have a look at PLIB as that's responsible for that in our case. Maybe you should also have a look at PPE (prettypoly.sf.net) as it uses PLIB and creates multiple windows. > We are using Jon's shuttle model for a landing simulation that we are > developing for the Challenger Center at the school.

Look at PLIBs PUI and create a new (permanet) PUI window that outputs the text. Should be quite easy.

I've used the glutCreateSubWindow function, and I do get two windows, but FG seems to be overriding the display callback for the subwindow. We are using Jon's shuttle model for a landing simulation that we are developing for the Challenger Center at the school. We are using a modified HUD display with special audio to simulate mission control, and the sub window will be used to display text.

FlightGear's main window is an OpenGL rendering context. I'd be surprised if there was any portable way of getting an OS subwindow. You'd be better off working with the PUI library inside the context instead. At least in X11, though, this "should" work, barring driver bugs. With the current NVidia drivers, I can verify that a foreground window (an xterm, whatever) properly obscures and clips the fgfs window. Andy -- Andrew J.
