OpenRadar has got a new feature lately, that will be published in next update: It can interact with a running FlightGear to make it act like a tower window, or a airport surveillance camera. | |||
== Introduction == | == Introduction == | ||
With only some minutes of setup, you see the aircrafts moving on the ground, starting and landing. You can define a couple of camera view presets (location, angles and zoom factor) and you can follow a contact as long as he is close to your airport. | |||
For that you should have a second monitor. It should display the Flightgear window, the view out of your tower, while you have OR as your radar view on the main monitor. | For that you should have a second monitor.

# ORCAM makes my computer so slow! => FGFS needs big amounts of memory, especially, if you have several contacts in range and if you tuned it to be nice (e.g. if you display many trees). OR needs also some resources especially displaying thousands of dots and the necessary geometric projections take their time. All this might be too much for your computer. FGFS 3.4 brings improvements to FGFS speed and memory consumption, but after all you need a recent computer. Running OR and the single FGFS ORCAM instance on different computers will bring help. | # ORCAM makes my computer so slow! => FGFS needs big amounts of memory, especially, if you have several contacts in range and if you tuned it to be nice (e.g. if you display many trees).
