About The Project

FlightControl is only a practise project, trying to work with events, delegates and MVVM in an organized manner.

FlightControl is a WPF-based desktop application that simulates and manages flight-related tasks such as planning or monitoring. This application provides a simple and interface for interacting with flights, enabling users to make decisions based on current flight conditions or schedules.

The application is built using the Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) design pattern and WPF. Users can enter data, manipulate flight details, and track updates.

Roadmap

UI Enhancements:

• Modernize the UI.
• Add custom themes and dark mode support.

Flight Data Management:

• Implement the ability to import and export flight schedules in common formats (CSV, JSON).
• Add advanced filtering and search capabilities for flight data.
• Expand the application to support other travel-related logistics (e.g., passenger management, cargo flights).

Real-Time Updates from real planes:

• Integrate real-time data updates from (real) external flight tracking APIs, making a real use-case of this practise app.
• Allow real-time monitoring of flight conditions like delays or cancellations.
• Introduce notifications or alerts for critical flight status changes.

Testing and Performance:

• Add unit tests.
• Improve application performance for handling larger datasets, maybe with paralell execution.
