James, this sounds very interesting. I will check out the code this weekend
if I get time and have a look through. I am pretty sure that this is the way
I need to go to implement my instument!
Alan, that instrument looks interesting. I may be able to use the technique
for a 'layer' on my display. Is it essentially 'redrawing' parts of image
texture tiles, calculated by position?
I think my solution could use the tiled background with a dynamic layer on
top.

navigation type info (route, waypoints, traffic, airports, navaids) in a
customisable way, and hence be used to simulate the navigation modes of
various modern cockpits.

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
