We also might look into what's already been done for FS2002 (or below). Even
if we can't get actual developers of (PD) add-on Scenery on board for
FlightGear, we might profit from their knowledge. I am pretty sure, there
are several developers of (free) add-ons with terminal maps and, maybe, even
bitmaps ready to use, which they *perhaps* might share with us. For
instance, there are quite detailed airports maps of gates available for a
tool called AFCAD (adding gates for AI planes - personally I never used it
myself, though).
Not sure if this approach will work, but might be worth a try. If you think
it's reasonable, I might check what's available for FS2002 from a few sites
I know and give you a digest.
