The CustomDraw Map Guidebook documents use of the XML map variables available in FS9 and FSX and key differences between the two versions. This guidebook is a companion to the FS9GPS Module guidebook released in 2011.
The guidebook is available by download from the BlackBox website:
BlackBox/Guidebooks - Robbie McElrath's website
In addition to the map variables, the guide discusses calibration of CustomDraw map and XML gauge scales so that the following types of applications are possible:
- Transform mouse X and Y into longitude and latitude - Create map overlays for the CustomDraw base - Coordinate rotation for TrackUp=1 - TAWS map - TCAS map overlay using ITrafficInfo variables - Mouse click distance, bearing, latitude and longitude - Nearest search centered on a mouse click point rather than user's aircraft - Add a flight plan waypoint by mouse click - Stationary Map vs. Moving Map
A fully functional XML gauge is also available that demonstrates all of the above applications. The example gauge requires installation of Tom Aguilo’s XMLVars which can be freely downloaded from:
