Another way is to use the ZKV1000 instrument. See http://wiki.flightgear.org/FlightGear_Newsletter_October_2010. It is so far in the Hondajet and Diamond DA42 aircraft.
I have re-used the moving map code from ZKV1000 in my TSR2 project. The moving map takes a set of map images (in windows these have to be stored in C:/user/yourname/AppData/Roaming/flightgear.org/zkv1000/maps/terrain !!). The code choses which image contains the current A/C position and uses a virtual texture to present a section of this image, shifted X and Y for lat/long, on the moving map display. This method makes use of already existing code in Flightgear. Chase "Zakharov" for a better description of what is happening.

Also note i just added a 'NavDisplay' instrument to Git, which is another kind of dynamic texture, along with ground-radar. It's new, untested code (that's part of my plan for this weekend), but is designed to show navigation type info (route, waypoints, traffic, airports, navaids) in a customisable way, and hence be used to simulate the navigation modes of various modern cockpits. Depending on what you want to do, you might be able to use the code as is, or certainly use it as an example (along with the other render-to-texture instruments) But, be aware I'm still shaking the bugs out - and then I need to write some docs :) James ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
