* '''TheTom''': " [[ATC-FS]] is definitely an interesting application which can benefit from the Canvas very much. Maybe we can do some ATC programs which look like the real ones... " | |||
* '''TheTom''': "vertical projection seems not too complicated as its basically just calculating segment lenghts on a sphere, or maybe just direct distance calculations. I think the error in comparison to the real sphere can be neglected while using typical distances (eg. at a distance of 300 miles the error is about 2.8 miles, which is ~0.9%)." {{Pending}} (see [[Canvas Maps]]) | * '''TheTom''': "vertical projection seems not too complicated as its basically just calculating segment lenghts on a sphere, or maybe just direct distance calculations.

* '''TheTom''': "Seems like the map and groundradar/map are good examples to use for improving the API and implementing new features. I'm currently working on passing all the needed events to the property tree and improving the API. But also the NasalPositioned needs to be extended to eg. also expose taxiways, aprons and parking positions (it's already possible to get the names of the parking positions but not their positions)." | * '''TheTom''': "Seems like the map and groundradar/map are good examples to use for improving the API and implementing new features.
