I wrote these a while ago with some intention of creating flight training tools. I&#x27;m making them available to all the other programmer &#x2F; pilots out there who might find them useful. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;codesandbox.io&#x2F;s&#x2F;six-pack-flight-instruments-fl7b8" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;codesandbox.io&#x2F;s&#x2F;six-pack-flight-instruments-fl7b8</a>

Hey, they look great &amp; realistic!<p>Possible issue with the Altimeter. I&#x27;m not sure if this was meant as an accurate simulation, or just a technical demonstration of what is possible with the component, but I&#x27;ve noticed that the Altimeter pressure setting (small window) is changing on its own as the altitude hand sweeps around.<p>That never happens, the altimeter setting is a fixed setting set by the pilot used to calibrate the altimeter readout to be relative to a known&#x2F;shared pressure setting.

Imagine the next jumbo jet using avionics rendered on Electron.

This could be a game where you have to fly a plane, looking only at the instruments (this kind of training exists for real pilots).

Also check out Project Magenta for MS FSX and Pr3par3d pro flight controls (FMC, etc.):<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.projectmagenta.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.projectmagenta.com&#x2F;</a><p>It&#x27;s commercial software, but there&#x27;s free demo versions of the controls, and a personal license is 600 euros, which is a good deal if it does what you want.

Looks great. I have have a mind to make a VOR + map combo sometime, but I haven&#x27;t mustered the effort yet.

Very nice work! Unfortunately it appears Snap.svg has been sunsetted and has not been updated for a few years.

Any plans to use these in tandem with X-Plane?<p>Looks really fantastic!
