Title: Shaderbased ND features

Early Terrain radar emulation (from the 787-8) see Canvas Tile Element
Potential mentors: merspieler
Intro: (short intro)
Interested Parties: none
Status: n/a
Summary: n/a
Background: To my knowledge, there are a couple of features which are currently not easily implementable on a navigation display or do not accurately represent the "outside" view (wxr)

These are:

  • Terrain
  • Airport moving map
  • Weather radar

These could be implemented as effects and shaders on the Compositor to get an accurate view of the sourroundings.

Details: n/a

Learning Opportunities: .
