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. //Tuomas Hi Tuomas Thanks for your proposal.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] moving map of Hondajet or Da-42 // nextscenerygeneration
Geoff I have just tried the Hondajet and this works. ( If needed press Ctrl-C to highlight the hot-spot controls.) On the left hand screen (the PFD) I pressed the 1st button on the bottom row below the screen. The main flight instruments (horizon etc.) appeared on the screen. I repeated this with the right hand screen (the MFD) and the map came up. The buttons are dynamic and their function depends upon PFD and MFD mode setting. Perhaps the author(s) could offer some help. ;-) If you want to try the same with my TSR2, (http://v-twin.dynip.sapo.pt/alan/VickersAircaft/TSR2/TSR2.zip) operate the 'lamp select' toggle switch below the brilliance control, which is on the bottom left of the circular map display.

Congratulations. Just look for all references to ZKV1000, pfd and mfd in the Hondajet/Da42 and do something similar in your aircraft. Best of luck. The Hondajet/Da42 author may be able to assist here. To get it into Git, just ask on this forum and I am sure that one of the developers with commit-rights will help. You can also put the aircraft on your own internet site, and advertise it here and in the FG forum. Best of luck.
