Hi,
do you know Phi? It's a new HTML5 based user interface/instructor station integrated into FlightGear 3.5 ff.
I'd like to share some screenshots of what is already available in current GIT. All screenshots were taken on my iPad where Phi is installed as a a web app (installed to home-screen) to run full screen without the browser's decoration:
This is the Mass&Balance dialog, all values are settable and update at runtime.
If configured for the aircraft, checklists look like this:
Time and Date:
The right column is meant to be a widget area to hold small elements with compact information. Currently a simple PFD, a radio stack and a map widget is implemented. If you look closely, you can see that they display real-time data. The FlightGear instance running in the backround has the SenecaII flying right-hand circles on autopilot.
A toolbox comes with it, this is the holding-entry simulator (needs layout tweaking!)
And an unlimited stack of stop-watches:
Weather configuration is still very simple:
Oh, did I mention it supports theming?
No instructor station without a map widget:
All this is already in GIT. If you run the latest development code and want to try hands-on, start FlightGear with the internal web server enabled (--httpd=8080) and point your browser at http://<your-flightgear-computer>:8080/gui/ or http://localhost:8080/gui/ if you are on a single computer.
You need a descent browser for this. Latest Firefox, Chrome and Safari should work. Operating systems tested are Linux, OSX 10.9 and 10.10, iOS (latest) and Android (latest). It doesn't scale down to small displays yet. 7" and less is a mess.
Technologie behind is HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript and some excellent JavaScript libraries. Mainly jquery, jquery-ui, knockout, require, leaflet and flotcharts.
Hope you like it.
