I'll also see what I can come up with by way of my own solutions.
I actually have hacked together an ATC version that (in my own opinion, of
course
It's looking good so far ...
I haven't tested it yet myself , but if the guidelines are a separate
texture , you can have them clipped my making the instrument the same
dimensions as the radar screen ...

I suspect that adding specific features for a single simulator simply
is not a design goal for this RADAR console. Think of it as a universal

Even though it's not explicitly noted, the source is supposed to be
licensed under GPL.
As I understand, much has changed since the latest public version and
because I'm not in hurry, I'll simply be going to wait until

I know very little about FlightGear's ATC aircraft, even less do I know
about how to use it.
Note that this so-called OpenRADAR (we called it this way because we
were short of better ideas for a nice name :-)

Hi All,
I don't necessarily see a dedicated radar view and ATC from Flightgear
being mutually exclusive.
There are times when you'd like to stick your head out the window to
watch the aircraft land.
This does bring extra complexities such as both programs needing to
know air craft positions,

Sounds like you guys know far more about the subject than I do . I'll see
what I can do . The simplest idea I had was to overlay another transparent
texture with a single line that could be rotated to the runway heading , but
I dont know if that's suitable.
Maybe a property enabled line could be

controller needs to get them in the vicinity of it, fare enough out,

extended centerlines are indicated on their screens.
Sort of this ?

Hello, Syd and Jester...
How easy/difficult would it be to add a small detail to the radar scope view,
which would be extended centerlines for the runways? Trying to use version 2
today, I ran into difficulty giving good localizer intercepts just trying to
eyeball the extended lines,
I think I know what your looking for , dont know if I like the idea , but it
shouldn't be too difficult. You can tint the view from the menu to darken
it so the screen info displays clearer ... what about another step to
blackout the background view completely?
What comes to mind is a line from
