Hallo!
Gute Nachrichten für XML Gauges Programmierer:
Schaut so aus als ob man ab FS2004 jetzt auch mit XML Moving Maps und GPS programmieren kann. Auch wenn mir noch nicht ganz klar ist, was Etienne(von dem der Text stammt) mit "faked" gemeint hat(ich habe ihn aber bereits gefragt).
Viele Grüße,
Harri
And just to add to Fábio's statement about XML gauges being capable of vectors in FS9, just for your information, but ALL new gauges in FS9 are made of XML, INCLUDING the Garmin GPS, which feature a complete moving map with navigational inf as well as airspaces, and terrain map. Though, it somehow must be faked, it is more than obvious that the stuff the GPS shows is the exact same as the usual FS map view displays. It looks exact same. So that's the fake. I am no XML guy, but it's pretty obvious that, compared to the old FS8 XML gauges, the almost 300 KB of GPS code have become somewhat more complex. I didn't find and 'vector' related stuff, although the rose might be drawn with vectors, I didn't find an image file for it, but for the airport/vor/ndb/etc symbols. Pretty interesting.
