Re: Should FlightGear redesign its UI for Next?

If it had an ASCII generated interface (can only do so much in detail based on tty size and resolution) for use in a terminal, this would be radical.

Only issue is, CPU usage would probably be maxed out (due to framebuffer in graphical tty).

I just come off a sketch in ASCII to show some improvement FG could make, like naviat says, this is not guarenteed to be final, and I would need to design a proper prototype in Figma.

I'm sure there are ways to improve on the current launcher UI, but I'm

not sure what those would be off the top of my head. My advice to you

would be to write down a list of elements to keep and elements to

adjust, and then make a prototype UI in something like Figma to

demonstrate how that might work out.
