Hi all,

I was looking around at the Systems Computer show in Munich/Germany
yesterday, and in the Linux Park there was a company which exhibited their
linux based full cockpit simulator which used two seperate machines (one for
the display of the environment, one for the cockpit and it's displays) and
there was one really interesting thing about this; it had a fully functional
LCD based EFIS, looked about 12" or maybe even 13". Did anyone else see
this, and if so, do they know anyting about it? I think this kind of thing
may be used in GA...
Any info appreciated,

Kai.

Paul,

I thought you might find this interesting.

Sounds good to me. Linux has been bullet proof and since the source code
is available it would be much easier for the FAA to certify it.
