The 7" LCD is a TV set being fed through a VGA->composite device. I was planning on no higher than 800x600. Since there are really no true "3D" elements to the PFD or Nav displays, it shouldn't be a problem to be software-only rendered. Is there any rotation, scaling or coloring? Any shader effects? cause ifyou are just blitting images, it would probably be a piece of cake to adapt what you have to use pygame/sdl's software rendering, and then the opengl context thing is no problem.
It's very simple graphically. Here's the project screenshot page: http://sourceforge.net/project/screenshots.php?group_id=201789You can download the software (requires pyopengl and pygame of course) and run it in it's default TEST mode that doesn't require a running simulator to talk to:http://rjglass.sourceforge.net/index.shtml - providing you want to see what it looks like "live". :)
My biggest roadblock at this point is my extremely poor grasp of graphics in general. I'm a database geek by trade. :)
