What is Flightdeck-UI

Flightdeck-UI is an open source/free software project that utilizes the ideas in aircraft controls and instruments design for creating general purpose user interfaces (see the screenshots). The system has been developed by Open Light Software Inc.

Flightdeck-UI has released the following packages, which you can obtain from the download page.

Flightdeck-UI Online is a Web-based monitoring system, which allows you create multiple control panels to track a diverse set of variables. You view these control panels entirely through a web browser (requires Flash).
Flightdeck-UI Multi-Variable Monitor(MVM) is a monitoring application that runs under both Windows and Linux. MVM includes a graphical editor (with theme support) for creating monitoring consoles.
Flightdeck-UI Library is a collection of virtual instruments that you can use in your own programs. Both Flightdeck-UI Online and Flightdeck-UI MVM use the library.

For more information on the rationale, goals and architecture of the project, see the whitepaper. There is also a second whitepaper, which deals specifically with server, network and industrial process monitoring. Please note that the HTML files for both whitepapers are auto-generated from the DocBook SGML sources, so it is not recommended that you deep link inside the whitepaper pages, as their names may change in the next update, causing your links to stop working.
