This is exactly the reason, why we've been working towards an aircraft and GUI agnostic abstraction layer using MVC design concepts - so that reusing and integrating such stuff is really straightforward, without people having to come up with their own custom maps and layers from scratch. | This is exactly the reason, why we've been working towards an aircraft and GUI agnostic abstraction layer using MVC design concepts - so that reusing and integrating such stuff is really straightforward, without people having to come up with their own custom maps and layers from scratch. | ||
If you'd like to help in one way or another (no programming skills needed, Inkscape artists also needed!), please get in touch with F-JJTH or Hooray on the forum. | |||
