Magister Navis

Sorry. Let me try to clarify a bit and talk about this screenshot. We've got three airspaces in this case: Class C, Class D (CTR) and Class D (no CTR). It says (condensed) Class C Min altitude: 6.500 ft MSL Max altitude: 10.000 ft MSL Class D Min altitude: 0 ft Max altitude: 2.500 ft MSL Class D Min altitude: 2.500 ft MSL Max altitude: 4.500 ft MSL In every map altitudes are given as minimum value (below a line) and maximum value (above a line). Little Navmap behaves differently as shown above. Wouldnt it be much nicer to read: Class C Max altitude: 10.000 ft MSL Min altitude: 6.500 ft MSL Class D Max altitude: 4.500 ft MSL Min altitude: 2.500 ft MSL Class D Max altitude: 2.500 ft MSL Min altitude: 0 ft Then we have a continuos vertical airspace image in mind by reading from the buttom to the top. The other thing I mentioned was: when I see the image above and click somewhere in the map where are no visible airspaces the pane shoul be emtied or at least show "now other airspaces" or so. Thanks

When clicking through airpaces they are shown on info tab. When clicking in an area with no viewable airspaces the info tab should be cleared or show something like "no airspaces here". Now I cannot always be sure if an airspace is there or not. Second I suggest to show airspace altitudes top down, so switching the upper and lower limits to read top down (eg Class C 14000 MSL | 8000 MSL // Class D 8000 MSL 5500 MSL etc.) instead of (Class C 8000 MSL | 14000 MSL // Class D 5500 MSL 8000 MSL etc.) Thanks so much.

Alex, this was helpful. Now I ran into layer issues. Maybe something quite simple. Just took the original OpenFlightMaps for learning, renamed relevant parts and it doesnt work anymore. I just renamed name, theme, url, icon, layer sourcedir to openAIP just to learn and adopt where the problem might be. Giving up. Maybe someone else has a good idea. 🙂

Hi @husker_dingo. Have you succeeded yet? I also tried to create an openAIP map and it worked. BUT: I have a black screen with data on it. So I tried to get opentopomap as a layer below. But I cannot get it run. I took opentopomap as a basis and added openAIP but it looks like transparency of the openAIP png are missing (but i doubt it is the case). I am not good enough to have this layer work. Inside the ZIP you find opentopomap.dgml_working which is the original opentopomap map. openAIP.dgml_working is the working openAIP map and openAIP.dgml is the mix of both. Note that you need a free api key from openAIP after logging on as described on the documentations page. Find the map draft here. Klaus

Hi Alex. Any news on this topic? Thanks so much.

Yeah that would be wonderful, thanks so much 🙂 I tried this too before, but failed as well. Would be also a workable option.Simbrief lets me also copy the flight plan in a correct way to import into the form. Klaus

Thanks so much. If it helps: you may use simbrief to fill the fields with the GET request. This is what simbrief calls to that same filing website at my last flight:

Hi. On March 1st vPilot removed the option for quickly file a flie plan especially important for VFR flights. Now you need to export to simbrief, correct things there, file from there, go to the vatsim flightplan website and confirm it. On Vatsim Germany board one has posted a link which can be modified to include a flightplan in a very similar way as Little Navmap exports it to simbrief. I would like to encourage the development to add such an option. The link could be https://my.vatsim.net/pilots/flightplan?raw=%28FPL-DEXXX-VG+-C172%2FL-SDGY%2FS+-+-N0110F025+DCT+-++-+RMK%2FVFR+DAYLIGHT%29&fuel_time=0400 Maybe there are more options like departure and destination. The second option could be an ICAO flightplan copied to the clipboard to be pasted to the website. Thanks :-)
