    Announcing SoFIS - An Open Source EFIS

    This is a pet project, you are right. I'm not doing that one professionally and I'm giving it out for free. Is it rocket science? No. Is it high tech? Neither. Is it useful? I think so.

However SoFIS can be fed with *data* (latitude, longitude, temps, etc.) from another computer on the network, and render...

    Announcing SoFIS - An Open Source EFIS

    Hi everyone, Didn't joined too long ago, and have been silent since. Most of the time I'm a flying a little plane (was flying a 4 seater before, but that's a story for another day) in a small town of France. Here is something that I've wanted to do for years and I decided that a covid lockdown...
