  • The script is a heavy user of computing resources. A fast CPU and good graphics adaptor really helps ( just as with FlightGear )
  • You can rotate, zoom and pan as you wish with fingers or pointing device
  • Everything is under a GPL license and hosted on GitHub
  • It all runs in your browser and loads in a few seconds
  • Should work on Chrome, FF, Edge and Safari and on Android, iOS and Chromebooks

2016-02-16?

Complete code re-write

A FlightGear MultiPlayer Viewer

  • A fast-loading dashboard ~ no attempts to convey 'realism'
  • Rotate, zoom and pan with one, two and three fingers
  • See who is flying what and where are they going
  • Displays trajectories of flights
  • Under 650 lines of low-complexity JavaScript
  • Uses WebGL ~ runs in your browser

Mission

  • To provide entry level coders with examples of simple techniques for 3D mapping, animation and accessing a REST API

Issues

  • Many aircraft models missing
  • Incorrect material parameters in current models
  • Aircraft are not deleted upon pilot exit
  • Aircraft tend to become buried in the terrain
