Thanks to [www2](https://forum.flightgear.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=25291) the modeller of the [GDU104X project "Farmin/G1000"](http://wiki.flightgear.org/Project_Farmin/FG1000) I can continue the work began many years ago with a nicer (and working) 3D model instrument. Thanks to him/her for the SVG basis file too.

# Origin
32
The first ZKV1000, which was completly XML animated, was completly abandonned. Moreover the Nasal code became unmaintanable from my point of view. Not sure this one is better, but I think
33
it is at least more modulable.
34

            
35
The origin is to simulate a Garmin Primus 1000, as near as possible of the [documentation found](# documentation).
36

            
37
But as we are in a simulation, the zkv1000 is **definitly not** a replica of the well-known G1000, as it takes the liberty to be integrated with some features that doesn't exit in
38
the real device, as well as some real features aren't scheduled to be implemented. But, it should be easy to add or remove features in order to get the real device. 
39
This is GPL-2 license though :)
40

            
41
# Objectives
42
There is no intention to provide a fully qualified G1000 in order to train or so, but this should be possible to be done from the zkv1000.
43

            
44
I'm particulary looking at these points:
45

            
46
1.  easy to implement new features
47
1.  optimized code (from my non-dev point of view...)
48
1.  easy to integrate in every cockpit with only few lines, and with easy use for the pilot
49
1.  near from the G1000 documentation but with some neat features added, and some unrelevant features in a sim removed
50

# Installation
improves README
Sébastien MARQUE authored on 2017-04-19
121
Just `git clone https://sebmarque.hd.free.fr/git/seb/zkv1000` in your favorite Instrumentation-3d dir.  
122
Then somewhere in the XML configuration of your aircraft, put only few lines as described below
improve README
Sébastien MARQUE authored on 2017-03-20
123
## Create the `zkv1000` Nasal namespace
124
In the `<nasal>` place of your aircraft configuration

## Set specific values for your aircraft
133
Specifics values for aircraft can be set via the aircraft configuration, in the `<instrumentation>` section, just add a section `<zkv1000>` and set here the needed values.

136
To see the Vspeeds bugs or the IAS background color change (Vne), set the corresponding V-speeds in knots by adding in your `<instrumentation><zkv1000>` section the following lines (here are the numbers for the Lancair-235, ![][warning] values are not to be used in real life).

### EIS

Sébastien MARQUE authored on 2017-04-20
148
This parameter tells the zkv1000 which kind of engines equips your aircraft, and the associated EIS.  
149
The Nasal script should include at least three things:
150

            
151
* a method called `displayClass.showEIS` in which you initialize the EIS, especially by selecting the shown, hide, clipped and texts elements
152
* a method called `displayClass.updateEIS` which is used to update the EIS display, it includes its own timer to refresh itself
153
* a SVG object with ID `EIS` (generally the background of the EIS display).  
154
  It should appears in the lists in `displayClass.showEIS`.  
155
  ![][warning] This object is used to compute the map width, so it is important to set it on the left of the screen
156

            
157
There are three ways too put an EIS in MFD:
158

            
159

165
Defaults to `none`, available entries are the `.nas` files located in `Nasal/EIS/` directory.
166

            
167
#### or use the one you specially have created for your aircraft
168

            
169
        <eis>
170
          <file>Aircraft/My-Nice-Aircraft/Nasal/EIS.nas</file>
171
        </eis>
172

            
173
or the on from another aircraft. Anyway if the EIS nasal file targeted doesn't exist, the fallback is the type `none`.
174

            
175
#### or you can give the absolute path (deprecated)
176

            
177
        </eis>
178
          <file>/home/foobar/fgfs-data/Nasal/testing-jet-jsbsim-EIS.nas</file>
179
        </eis>
180

            
181
Be aware that `canvas.parsesvg` uses only relative path and should not work properly if your .nas is outside of the FG tree.  
182
If you want to add your own EIS, just copy the `Systems/EIS/single-prop.svg`, modify it to fit your needs, and refer to it in a function named `displayClass.showEIS`, another very important function is `displayClass.updateEIS` (example in [Nasal/EIS/single-prop.nas](zkv1000/blob/master/Nasal/EIS/single-prop.nas))  
183
You are even free to modify the softkeys map in order to get according menus, but this has to be described on another document (check [Nasal/softkeys.nas](zkv1000/master/blob/Nasal/softkeys.nas)).
184

            
185
No matter of the EIS width, as the map size and center are computed relative to the EIS width automatically.  
186

You can put as many devices as wanted, but generally they are two (PFD+MFD) or three (2 PFD+ 1 PFD), can be only one which is useful when you just want the PFD or the MFD in your cockpit.
227
The device are identified by a name, which should be unique unless they won't be independant.
228
This name is set by one of the property in the XML model file (`instrumentation/zkv1000/<NAME>/status`), which is a property telling if the device is switched off or not (or in reversionnary mode, later).
229
Actually there are only two "types of display": MFD or PFD, which is known by the first 3 letters of the name (case sensitive!)
230
Other devices as keyboard or non-display can also exists, as long as they don't have a `status` property...
231
Not sur I'm clear on this point though :)
add some information in READ...

## Map tiles origin
234
By defaults the maps tiles come from `https://maps.wikimedia.org`, type `osm-intl` (please read [https://www.wikimedia.org/wiki/Maps]()), but you can choose your favorite one if you've got one. I've tested `opentopomap.org` and `thunderforest.com` (my favourite).
235
You can tell the zkv1000 the tile server, type and eventually apikey by using `--prop:` option while starting FlightGear session:
236

            
237
In case of apikey (or whatever added at the en of the URL):
238

            
239
        --prop:/sim/online-tiles-server=tile.thunderforest.com
240
        --prop:/sim/online-tiles-type=landscape
241
        --prop:/sim/online-tiles-apikey=?apikey=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
242

            
243
or if there is no type, just use type `/`:
244

            
245
        --prop:/sim/online-tiles-server=a.tile.opentopomap.org
246
        --prop:/sim/online-tiles-type=/
247

            
248
The only used protocol is `https` (check Nasal/map.nas).

## Switch it up
251
You can use the multikey (souvenirs, thanks to Melchior having that much expended this feature years ago :)) service by typing:
252
`:zo`
253

            
254
The `:z` will be the multikey entry for all multikeys of the zkv1000.
255

            
256
1. If you see a single red dot under the `ZKV100O xxx init` message (xxx = MFD or PFD), this is likely the sim is paused (press `p` by default to stop the pause).
257
1. If you see multiple dots under the `ZKV1000 xxx init` message, something wrong happened, time to check console
258
1. If you see only black screen on one of the screen, something really wrong happened, time to check console
259
