Hey folks.. How about using something like maps.cloudmade.com to create a
custom styled openstreetmap tileset for a moving map? Alternatively a
mapnik style could be created. There was a style for aviation paper chart
in progress in openstreetmap wiki, maybe one cpuld be done for aviation
moving maps (could be useful for real world as well).
Cloudmade just makes it easy to experiment quickly with style and colors,
and afaik they serve the tiles.

The slow upload is because this is URL is my own PC, via Apache.
I have now copied everything to https://gitorious.org/fg-ajt, which should
speed things up.

Hi Alan,
Thank you ;=))
Yes, on both the hondajet and da42, clicking the
first button on the bottom row of each, the PFD,
and MFD, DID THE TRICK ;=))
I 'thought' I had tried this before but obviously
NOT ;=()
And reminding me of the ctrl+c, to highlight the
'clickable' items also helped... I had forgotten
this ;=(( So many things/keys to remember...
The display is BEAUTIFUL ;=))
Now, even more than before, I want DETAILED,
feature rich images ;=))
If only I can find a WMS server to fully oblige...
and maybe as some have suggested, that could be
the online, if available, 'source' of the
display...
And/or convince Atlas/Map to also add airport/navaid
overlays onto the maps, like it did in the past...
either as an option to Map, during the map creation,
or have a capability in Atlas to dump the
maps-with-nice-detailed-overlays to disk...
BUT ANYWAY, TAR MUCHLY ;=))
Just a idle thought... lots of aircraft could benefit
from having such PFD/MFD displays... maybe as a
sort of hand held device you carry on board,
without all the modes/autopilot features, since
we do need to keep the 'realism' of only what
exists in each aircraft at manufacture...
Sort of like a 'super' hand-held GPS device... or
maybe we have that already???
Have downloaded your TSR2.zip - quite a slow
download, but no problem - and thank you.
I assume I unzip this into a new folder -
<fgdata>/Aircraft/TSR2
and looking forward to trying this also as
soon as time allows...
Many thanks again...
Regards,
Geoff.
