=== G1000 & MapStructure improvements === | |||
As of 09/2017, Stuart started making some tentative steps towards a full Garmin G1000 simulation, he started with the excellent xkv1000 as a starting point, particularly for the PFD which very closely mirrors the G1000. | |||
For the MFD he's planning to use the [[Canvas MapStructure]] layers (obviously). | |||
One area he is going to have to develop is tiled mapping, which the [[MapStructure]] in fgdata doesn't currently support as a layer. | |||
Stuart's thoughts are: | |||
# Create an OverlayLayer layer with a controller that is analogous to the SymbolLayer, but likely with a simple update method rather than SearchCmd, and no .symbol equivalent | |||
# Convert the tiled map example from the wiki, but also other layers such as a compass rose, airport diagram, lat/lon grid. | |||
Stuart is currently undecided on how to handle the projection - whether to have the layer itself have to interpret the centerpoint of the map and scale, and then make a projection itself, or to provide it from the Map. The latter in undoubtably cleaner, but for something like a tiled map he suspects that the management will need to be quite low down the stack.<ref>{{cite web | |||
