== Canvas Integration == | |||
we are already able to create a texture representation of arbitrary airport features like runways, taxiways etc - even in Nasal/Canvas space using a handful of APIs (navdb), which works using the Canvas::Map element to project lat/lon tuples of arbitrary Canvas::Path segments to the texture<ref>{{cite web | |||

And it could also be draped using geo-referencing, for which we have existing SimGear patches: [[Photoscenery#Using photoscenery]] | |||
This way, if/when Canvas+Shaders/effects are better integrated, many TerraGear-level things could actually be moved to fgdata space<ref>{{cite web | |||
