[simpits-tech] Image warping (Was: Frustration!)

[dabigboy at cox.net]

X-Plane, of course. :) The Linux build has become very mature....heck, Austin develops on OSX on a Mac, which is much closer to Linux than to Windows anyway. X-Plane runs flawlessly on Linux now, and performance is wonderful.

For instruments and driving Phidgets etc I'm using software I wrote myself in Python + OpenGL. Incidentally, I've just dived into my instrument software again as of last night....I am writing weather radar software which will grab the radar image from X-Plane to reflect the actual weather patterns, while also offering more features (like adjustable range) and a realistic "sweep" pattern instead of the fanciful real-time weather display which X-Plane has had for years. :) Last night I got the sweeper display working. Plan is to cannibalize an old broken radar display unit out of a real plane and use its buttons/knobs etc with a PS2 LCD inside it to render weather.
