QFlightInstruments is a Qt library containing flight instruments widgets including: Airspeed Indicator, Altimeter, Vertical Speed Indicator, Turn Coordinator, Attitude Indicator, Heading Indicator, Electronic Attitude Direction Indicator (EADI) and Electronic Horizontal Situation Indicator (EHSI).

QFlightinstruments

QFlightinstruments is a collection of flight instruments Qt widgets.

Components

Project consists of Qt flights instruments library and an example Qt GUI application.

Electronic Flight Instrument System

• Electronic Attitude Direction Indicator (EADI)
• Electronic Horizontal Situation Indicator (EHSI)

Basic Six

• Airspeed Indicator (ASI)
• Attitude Indicator (AI)
• Altimeter (ALT)
• Turn Coordinator (TC)
• Heading Indicator (HI)
• Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI)

Usage

Both flight instruments library and an example application are intended to be built with qmake. There are appropriate Qt Creator project files. Flight instruments library is located in the src/qfi/ directory, it includes source code files, Qt Creator pri file, Qt Resource Compiler qrc file and instruments graphics files.

example1.pro project file is intended to build an example application and incorporates instruments library with static linking.

example2.pro project file is intended to build an example application and link to dynamic shared object containing instruments library.

Both projects share the same source code.

libqfi.pro project files allows to create dynamic shared object containing instruments library.

qflightinstruments's Issues

IDENT missing

The IDENT widget is no longer available. I am not sure if this text widget belongs to the qfi_EADI or qfi_EHSI. Previously, it looks like these components were mixed together in a single qfi_PFD widget - however after what looks like some refactoring, this component was removed (presumably in favor of the aforementioned pair of widgets). Would it be possible to either recover the old qfi_PFD widget with all the bug fixes/improvements you discovered along the way, or put a widget to display the IDENT - it (along with setDistance) is currently commented out per the following code:

    //_ui->widgetEADI->setIdentifier  ( "ILAX" , true );
    //_ui->widgetEADI->setDistance    ( dme    , true );

From what I can tell it looks like the distance display (also commented out above) was moved from the EADI to the EHSI, perhaps you meant to do the same with the IDENT.

PFD indicator displays error when maximized the example main window

Everything is OK except that PDF indicator displays not correctly when runing the example and maximizing it. The indicator is disordered.

How to build

Hi, very interested in this excellent collection of Qt widgets for avionics for personal use. I'm a pilot and avionics buff, and I'd like to play with this code. Can you provide some quidance for how to build this on my Mac? Is this a standalone program or just a set of libraries that needs a main() routine? Have you ever built under Xcode? Linux? (I don't own any Windows machines.)

Did you build this under Qt Creator?

Any guidance you can provide on how to build this would be most appreciated!

Thanks

example.pri : correct file extension type?

I am sort of confused as to your file
example.pri

is that correct?
I always only have just .pro project files, never saw *.pri (Qt 5 creator, Raspberry OS Stretch)

Build fail - MainWindow.ui not found

Dear merek-cel,
After cloning your repo, I tried to build the project but an error occurred:

mingw32-make[1]: *** No rule to make target '../example/MainWindow.ui', needed by 'ui_MainWindow.h'.  Stop.
mingw32-make: *** [Makefile:38: debug] Error 2

The process "C:\Qt\Tools\mingw730_64\bin\mingw32-make.exe" exited with code 2.
Error while building/deploying project example1 (kit: Desktop Qt 5.12.12 MinGW 64-bit) When executing step "Make"

Could you please tell me if you are aware of this problem?

Thank you!
