Can I suggest a feature request for your online multiplayer map? Would
it be possible to "lock on" to a particular player so the view will
always stay centered (or will recenter on the player every "x"
seconds?) This would save me a *lot* of clicking if I have a map setup
to follow myself on a long cross country flight.
It's already done...
Awsome, I'll have to play around with that.
For those who might have missed, you could click on the bottom bar,
where the "FGMap | <server name> | pilots: n" is, and bring up a menu.
In the pilots tab, you could select pilots and have them always be
visible on the map. You can select multiple pilots too.
For more descriptions, check out the help tab I've added a few days
ago.
Perhaps I should make the menu visible by default ;)
I found it without having it start visible ... it's a tradeoff in screen
space usage I guess.
And while we're on this topic, I've been planning to add some sort
of airport/navids lookup onto the map. And perhaps some basic flight
planning feature too. Feel free to give me some suggestions on how it
could be used/done.
Well, let me know if you have any questions. This would be an awsome
feature to add navaids, airports, and airways. We have all the data you
need in the FlightGear base package. You could even draw taxiways at
the appropriate zoom levels. I've done something similar for a past
commercial project and it's not all that hard I don't think. I don't
know the constraints of the google map api, but I'm happy to answer
questions about the FlightGear data and the format and the parsing thereof.
Curt.
