This maybe should use an existing configuration (or the new VFS-based solution currently in the planning stages in #8599)

Ok to put a TODO: here as well for this to be covered later.

May be a use case for xmlConfig via panel.xml in the future, for now this is ok.

Note for self: I'll need to take note of this in #8599 as well as potentially #8500

In the future, if we have remote instruments in multiple AC and variants, this might also need some thought.

We are also deprecating the function getAirframeType() from usage in the EFB (PR 8500), may be better to switch to the new aircraft type L:Var for this and merge 8500 first? (Or again, long term solution, is the VFS based unified config)

May want to abstract this into its own util or function so that its easier to manage, for a potential future use case if one day we also have to have bespoke remote EFB code in future in the EFB (Unlikely, but better to push this out into a dedicated function)

See above point about having an abstracted util function (that reads from window.FBW_REMOTE). We don't need awareness of window at this level.

Maybe this should be aircraft instead of airframe (a bit pendatic but sure)

Looks like merge conflicts from lint changes (You probably already know, this is for the do not merge tag)

Still my biggest wish!!!

Why was this one removed from V0.12? The issue is opened more then two and halve years ago and had then already demo-pictures where it was working. Is it still possible?

MStallen · 2024-11-28T14:10:01Z

Somebody still working on this one?
