Basically, a moving map terrain view would require support for accessing the FG tile manager, so that a orthographic view of the scenery can be rendered. | |||
It might be easier to use OSG's GeoTIFF support instead and require people to add GeoTIFF images for the region of interest? | |||
Overall, I feel that would be better implemeneted as a separate mode (implemented in C++)? | |||
I think it would be better to use the same elevation data that is used for rendering, so that you don't have to create and provide the same data two times. Rendering an orthographic view would come for free if we implement support for multiple cameras. If we don't want to do it with rendering we can use a cached list of terrain intersections. I have seen such an implementation in one of the aircrafts in the forum (I think it was the 787). | |||
Yes, that's true - that's been discussed previously, but there was talk about using a dedicated scene graph for such moving map displays on the devel list. | |||
