This was an old screenshot of a standalone Java app, written by a
FlightGear fellow, to serve as a RADAR screen for FlightGear. The
layout is aimed at being conformant to EUROCONTOL's EEC "Human-Machine
Interface Reference System for En-Route Air Traffic Control" (EEC
report 292) - but it's far from implementing the entire reference.

This application is capable of reading 'geospatial' data from different
sources, like simple tab-separated text files or ESRI Shapefiles to
render the countours of the surrounding terrain, lakes, control zones,
any sort of tarmac as well as either Shapefiles or our well-known
Apt.Dat format for point coordinates like navaids and fixes (not shown
in the old screenshot).

Cheers,
        Martin.
