I am working on an application which provides an
instructor view of a flight simulator. The display
allows a HUD view from the ownship in a database
much more simplified than the simulator IG.
I have been tasked with the addition of a pitch ladder
type display this HUD view, and was wondering if anyone
has any code or advice for this type of display. A
ladder such as the one available in the SGI flight demo
would be more than sufficient.
The conversion from screen to world coordinates is taking
up time, and also appears a little shaky. I am considering
whether I need to move this to an overlay plane. I am leery
to do this since I am working in a GLX window, and have never
used overlays in that configuration.
I would expect this type of display to be fairly common, but
I don't see a straightforward way to implement it.
