On the other hand, there is this: http://flamebunny.homelinux.net/svg2ac.php The only problems are that the placement is incorrect for some reasons, and that there is the convex-polygon issue.

My basic thinking was 'looks like a widebody > twin, but the main gear only has four wheels, not six'. Three axles on the main landing gear would have been too easy I think... for me the giveaway was the shape of the nose section, which can only be A300 or 767. The position of the nosewheel narrowed it down to A300, but the "dust-bin lid" style main landing gear doors are also very characteristic. Good work, Ampere! Now here's is a quick hack I've done overnight, and it's nowhere near complete of course: http://homepage.univie.ac.at/andras.major/PFD1.png Question 1: what flightdeck is it going to be? (there are two correct answers...) Question 2: I did that with Python and GTK (pango and cairo, to be exact). Since it's so easy to do things like this in cairo, would it be possible to actually incorporate support for cairo in FG? There's even a cairo backend that renders to OpenGL using Glitz, so we can even re-use the code for 3D cockpits. How about that? We can even extend the idea and make it possible to define instruments in SVG embedded in XML, which is then rendered by cairo through glitz directly into OpenGL :) Andras --- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
