Dev needs to be done in a virtual env.

. ./.venv/bin/activate
python3 setup.py build

Notes

  • We'll need to read in .igc files (details here)
  • Some method to output videos
  • Some method of positioning instruments
  • Maybe a specification language so that we can automate positioning
  • Desired "instruments":
    • ASI
    • Thermalling trace
    • Vario(?)
    • Altimeter
    • Wind direction
    • Compass
  • Desired text readouts
    • Speed (Airspeed/groundspeed)
    • Average climb
    • Altitude (QNH/QFE)
    • Wind speed
    • Wind bearing
    • Flight bearing
