|<nowiki>all we have to do to display such charts within FlightGear is to load the chart image and apply the matrix created by the script. In the case of VRT files, it should be enough to just read the GeoTransform tag and set it as matrix on the Image element inside the canvas (with the parent element set up to have a coordinate system matching the current position and range). | |||
Some central server for collecting such free and geo-referenced charts would surely be useful and probably does not require too much space and bandwith. These charts would not only be useful for FlightGear, but also for real aviation applications, like EFBs. I think I saw this or a similar script somewhere inside the sources of Avare?</nowiki> | |||

|<nowiki> having just a web service that maintains and provides those charts would be straightforward and should not require any work on the Canvas side of things, also it avoids redundant work, because charts would remain identical normally, i.e. would only need to be created once. Not sure what the geo-coding question was all about ..</nowiki> | |||
