Map is outdated #11

Open DoubleWhisky opened 4 years ago

DoubleWhisky commented 4 years ago

Small update required. Current coverage/usage map makes some of us confusing from time to time.

Thanks in advance M

You are absolutely right. I'm not a genius in this area, but I'll try to make something more meaningful. Can't promise it'll look good... 😬

FYI, at the moment the "Mode S Map" link is broken, "Not found"...

ogruetzmann commented 3 years ago

Seems like it's about time to find someone who is able to create such a map :-S

This should do it :)

Hi Pierre, that one looks great. Do you know if it's allowed to be used with that background?

It's a bit 50/50, the copyright statement on the map says the following:

© 2019 The European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation (EUROCONTROL). This document is published by EUROCONTROL for information purposes . It maybe copied in whole or in part, provided that EUROCONTROL is mentioned as the source and to the extent justified by the non-commercial use (not for sale). The information in this document may not be modified without prior written permission from EUROCONTROL.

This is technically derivate work, with no modification of the source file. The way I see, we are using it non-commercially and this map was partly made using our tax money, hence I think we have a pretty good argument as long as we retain the above copyright notice and maybe disclaimer that this is solely for simulation use on VATSIM.
