Airport Diagram Generator
| IMPORTANT: Some, and possibly most, of the features/ideas discussed here are likely to be affected, and possibly even deprecated, by the ongoing work on providing a property tree-based 2D drawing API accessible from Nasal using the new Canvas system available since FlightGear 2.80 (08/2012). Please see: Canvas EFB Framework for further information
You are advised not to start working on anything directly related to this without first discussing/coordinating your ideas with other FlightGear contributors using the FlightGear developers mailing list or the Canvas subforum |

The Airport Diagram Generator is a Java application capable of generating airport diagrams using FlightGear data only.
Generated diagrams contain:
- Airport ID and name
- A schematic view of the airport layout (run- and taxiways).
- All frequencies regarding the airport (ILS, Tower, Gnd, Atis etc.).
- Nearest Navaid information and heading to/from.
- True and magnetic compass indication.
- Runway(s) length(s).
The software is based upon the Kelpie Flight Planner code.
Also see OpenEFB which is related open source software hosted at sourceforge, specifically meant to be used by users of MSFS and X-Plane.
