Flight planning in 3D with terrain viewer now available

Featured Replies

Hello pilots!

 

I've been experimenting with OpenGl lately and used my VfrFlight (http://vfrflight.org) flight planner as a playground.

Results are visible in screenshots below. Now, you can visualize terrain layer in full 3D, with your route included (Google Earth style).

 

Of course it's free. Enjoy :).

 

Any feedback is welcomed,

Lukasz

Looks fantastic, Lukasz!!! It's definitely "the lost tribe of Asher" as far as the 3D visualization in flight sim planning tools is concerned... :)

Thanks Rüstem,

I had to google 'tribe of Asher' to understand what it means and learnt some Israeli history today.

Sometimes I'm pretty surprised what you can learn in this forum  :lol: .

Me too...  :P

 

Zaginione plemię Asera, in other words "a missing but the long wished" feature... That's what I wanted to say.
