Glider-Simulator

Software for virtual instruments, add-ons to P3D and joystick interfacing for the CGC simulator. There are a number of sub-projects here.

CondorInstrumentsJFX

This uses Java JFX to draw virtual glider instruments on a screen. The instruments are photographs of real K21 instruments (KFY and HTV at Cambridge Gliding Centre) with the needles cut out with the GIMP and re-inserted afterwards according to what the instrument should be reading. This uses an extended Condor data format so can work with the Condor simulator or a P3D plugin that generates the same format. This uses JFX as it's possible to get this running on a Raspberry Pi with hardware acceleration.

CondorInstrumentsController

This allows control messages to be sent to CondorInstrumentsJFX to change panel. Typically used to switch between VFR and cloud flying panels.

P3DInstruments

This allows P3D to generate Condor style instrument data packets and to send NMEA (GPS) data from P3D.
