Custom draw field PFD
This is a Primary Flight Display (PFD) with a freely configurable drawing area.
Its main feature is that it can be placed at any position and size on a monitor, and it will not draw outside the specified area.
It is designed for sizes from about 32x32px minimum to 96x96px maximum, but it is possible to exceed these limits.
[b]It is extremely lightweight due to many optimizations.[/b] (Test: 300 units with DrawBoxRange=`5,5,91,91` on a Ryzen 5 7500F runs at 56 TPS).
Main Features
[list]
[*] [b]Attitude Indicator (Horizon Indicator):[/b] Visually displays the vehicle's pitch and roll. It moves up and down according to the pitch angle and tilts according to the roll angle. A pitch ladder is displayed at 15 and 30-degree intervals.
[*] [b]Bank Angle Scale:[/b] A roll angle (bank angle) scale is displayed at the top. A triangular pointer indicates the current angle.
[*] [b]Heading Indicator:[/b] The current heading is displayed at the bottom. Tick marks are displayed at intervals set in the properties, with labels for the 8 cardinal and intercardinal directions (N, NE, E, etc.).
[*] [b]Flight Path Vector:[/b] A circle indicates the vehicle's actual direction of travel. This allows you to visually grasp the difference between your heading and your actual track (e.g., due to drift).
[*] [b]Highly Customizable:[/b] You can freely change the drawing area and the color of each element from the properties.

Properties
You can customize the display by selecting the microcontroller and editing its properties.
All colors are specified in R,G,B,A (Red, Green, Blue, Alpha) format. Enter numbers from 0 to 255, separated by commas. Omitting Alpha (A) will result in a fully opaque color.
[list]
[*] [b]DrawBoxRange:[/b] Specifies the area to draw the PFD in the format `Top-Left X, Top-Left Y, Bottom-Right X, Bottom-Right Y`. For example, to display it on a full 3x3 monitor (96x96px), use `0,0,96,96`.
[*] [b]SkyColor:[/b] Specifies the color of the sky.
[*] [b]GroundColor:[/b] Specifies the color of the ground.
[*] [b]HorizonColor:[/b] Specifies the color of the horizon line.
[*] [b]SymbolColor:[/b] Specifies the color of the central aircraft symbol and the flight path vector.
[*] [b]ScaleLineColor:[/b] Specifies the color of the pitch ladder and bank angle scale lines.
[*] [b]ScaleTextColor:[/b] Specifies the color of the heading indicator text.
[*] [b]ScaleTriangleColor:[/b] Specifies the color of the triangular pointers on the bank angle scale and heading indicator.
[*] [b]BgTransparentColor:[/b] Specifies the background color for the heading indicator. You can make it semi-transparent by adjusting the fourth value (alpha).
[*] [b]HeadingScale:[/b] Specifies the interval in degrees for the tick marks on the heading indicator (e.g., 10).

Nodes
[list]
[*] [b]Composite (Input):[/b] Connect the composite signal from a [b]Physics Sensor[/b]. The following channels are used:
[list]
[*] ch 4: Euler Rotation X
[*] ch 5: Euler Rotation Y
[*] ch 6: Euler Rotation Z
[*] ch 7: Linear Speed X
[*] ch 8: Linear Speed Y
[*] ch 9: Linear Speed Z
[*] ch 15: Local Z Tilt (Pitch)
[*] ch 16: Local X Tilt (Roll)
[*] ch 17: Compass (Heading)
[/list]
[*] [b]Video (Output):[/b] Connect to a video output destination such as a [b]Monitor[/b].
[*] [b]Video (Input):[/b] Video input for a background. You can use this for camera feeds or video from other scripts if you want a background.
