Hi folks,

tonight I replaced the old flash-based charts and maps with Google charts and maps.

Should be more user-friendly and well-know, there is also another good difference: The google stuff will be fully rendered by the browser, not by the server. So if you have slow PC you should not use the world map to rent new gates.

With this new stuff, two new settings were introduced into to Usersettings-Page. You can define the width and height of the map now, this applies to all places where you see the map - except your own route map, this size is still static.

Have fun,

Tobias

Very good addition !

[Elchie]

So if somebody wishes some additional charts, I can implement it easy now and have not to think about server performance, just suggest it

He right completely off. JFK is in the Atlantic

Will check the calculation of the geo-data;)

Why does the map show all the routes flown on that continent. example on the Page of BRU I can see all the routes from Paris, Madrid, Frankfurt ...

[flightsimer]

i personally like the old ones because it only showed what you flew. so when looking at my current route map, i see all the clutter from the state/country lines state names,etc...

[Chaostah]

you can turn that off

This was a bug - fixed.

[Elchie]

Corrected the wrong data-calculation - JFK is not longer in the ocean

I prefer the old route maps , please put them back

[alex_nl]

I prefer this It is much more detailed and feels more realistic the coordinates of London Gatwick - LGW are wrong . But I don't like the new pie chart.

I prefer the new one's, please don't put the old ones back :sdrool:

The new maps are easier on the server and are much beter. If you want the old maps go and play sim 1 ;-)

I agree, the new pie charts are how can I put it knowing that there are children watching ....erm ....pretty crappy

Maybe look for some nice ones later on!

I Cannot See Any of My Routes. Its Annoying. + The route map has no US Destinations. >

[alex_nl]

on the ATL and the YYZ maps there is a route going to somewhere in the mediterranean sea (on the map)

[Elchie]

Yeah the pie chart - will look for a better one when I have some time

ATL map - yeah see it, but have no idea right know, will check this mysterious flight out

[Yuxi]

That usually means we're missing coordinates for that airport, so it defaults to (0,0)
