ACARS bitmaps

[jet1]

Here's a fun idea for the distant future

Make the ACARS gauge bitmaps selectable and aircraft specific!

For jets the ACARS could be the pretty much the same as it is now, but it would be nice to be able to match the colour better with the panels of the aircraft.

For smaller planes and props, you could disguise the bitmap to look more like a PDA or a communicator, which are often used for dispatch purposes in small air taxi companies.

Kind of like the two GPSes in FS: The smaller 295 and the larger 500.

The distant future holds visions of an option to make the FCOM format selectable between "Acme" (traditional) mode and "CDU" which will look and act like a real-world ACARS CDU.

Sometime next year -- right now I'm working on being able to select and plan a flight from the Admin without getting into the cockpit. Hopefully it'll be ready before next year
