AM 4 Feature Requests

[baranismen]

UI for Arduino codings, like Mobiflight or something?

We can just enter the pin number, board number, function type and write the xp/p3d code.

I’m not sure what you really mean. If it’s auto code generation you are suggesting I’m not sure how that could be made to work while still retaining what we have now Have you tried the code snippets. Perhaps an enhanced snippets Wizard would be a solution.

What i mean is an user interface, which makes it easy to assign pins and their functions without writing any code by manually. It's just for hardware purposes. I.e, i'll use this software only for its Arduino integration.

It's not really what AM is about. As Jacques posted a generic instrument could be created with a list of all the common controls but this can never catch everything as there are so many different custom controls. The pin Assignment is already part of the UI by the way. The lua code for adding any control is really simple to learn and is explained well in the wiki examples and the tutorials so I don't quite see the benefit of something like this for most users.

Something like this for the canvas please

What's exactly your request? Not really clear to me.

Ralph.
I am looking for an enhancement to the graphic ability the canvas function has without resorting to filling with a png image.

So things like scratches on panels, screws, bezels. Light shading, reflections etc can be done.

That package also had an audio module. I want to also be able to create cockpit voice recording and black boxes.

This would be the hard way to implement this (which is rather gaming oriented) inside AM
however C++ and LUA libraries are available, surely not easy to decide which to make available to AM users in such framework
The benefit is that it's totally free
I can't imagine the huge work for Corjan though
