Announcing Thorium Nova - Bridge Simulation Reimagined

Core Layouts

Thorium supports the ability to switch between multiple core layouts. This allows the flight director to easily pull up the most pertinent information without sacrificing screen space. Core layouts are built into Thorium and new layouts must be added in code. If you want a new core layout, file an issue.

Core Header

Header

Every core layout has a header with the following controls:

  1. <- Client Config - Return to the client config screen.
  2. Simulator Selector - Choose a simulator from the flight. This allows you to switch between which simulator is being controlled by the core.
  3. Layout Selector - Switch between the different core layouts.
  4. Mosaic Layout Selector - Only appears on Dynamic or Next layout. This lets you save a dynamic layout to the server and reload previously saved dynamic layouts.
  5. Bug Report/Issue Tracker - Use this to file a bug report or feature request.
  6. Notifications - Choose if notifications appear on the core screen.
  7. Speech - Choose if notifications are spoken.
  8. Clear Notifications - Clears any notifications on the screen.

Function Key Popups

You can access any core component from any core layout with function keys. Press and hold the key to view the core components related to that key. Double press the key to have the core components stay on the screen. Press again to make them go away.
