I would certainly be interested in a way to get a list of nearest airports from nasal, as I need it for my current overhaul of the animated jetway project.
At the moment, I'm getting a list of airports within a 50-nm radius using the search function of the GPS by setting properties in /instrumentation/gps/scratch. However, this causes the GPS search to reset itself every 30 seconds- or randomly from a user's perspective. Not very ideal. I could work around this by resetting the scratch properties back to their original values and rerunning the search, but that wouldn't restore the original results. In theory, I could apply the same technique to create a moving map that shows airports and navaids, but that would cause the search to reset itself every 2 seconds! Clearly a usability drawback. Perhaps lengthening the update period to 30 or so seconds would make this slightly more practical. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Achieve unprecedented app performance and reliability What every C/C++ and Fortran developer should know.
