• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

For those who are interested in creating addons which have a map based GUI you might want to look at SharpMap - http://www.codeplex.com/Wiki/View.aspx?ProjectName=SharpMap .

SharpMap is a simple-to-use map renderer that renders GIS data for use in web and desktop applications, written in C# 2.0 and also comes with AJAX powered usercontrol as well as win-form controls

Thanks for posting Jon, this is interesting. Do you know if it also supports editing of the data that is displayed? I have not found out about that yet.

I think so - it is possible to create layers. I guess if the shapes available don't work then it should be possible to add more. I've looked at it a couple of times but not gotten the time yet to dig into it in any detail

Very nice! Always on the lookout for this kind of stuff.

I had played a while back with the Piccolo toolkit for .NET found here: http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/jazz/index.shtml but it's general purpose and didn't have a GIS component. The nice thing about that platform is that on Windows it's tied to DirectX for hardware based rendering.

Cheers,

Etienne Martin

Thanks for the heads up on Piccolo :) I had heard of it but not really looked at it.
