Feature request, scale #2

Open flughund opened 10 years ago

flughund commented 10 years ago

Until now I haven't found any bug at the mpmap v3, everything works as expected. I quite like the new font, much better readable. However, I am missing the map's scale at the lower left corner, which is very handy for VFR or multiplayer events. If it is possible to add this feature, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you very much!

Thanks for the feedback. It was kinda unintentionally removed. I have just reenabled it. However with the new API, the scale control can only appear at the right of the bottom bar, and it's sometimes being partially covered up by the FGMap menu, depending on your zoom level. I will have to see what I can do with this.

Ok, now I can see the problem. Besides mpmap I am not using google maps, so I am absolutely not familiar with it. Though, I received a link today to it and it actually displayed the scale the same way mpmap did[1]. So it might be doable, somehow. If that doesn't work, maybe making the FGMap menu slide from the right or left side center is an option? Or moving it slightly leftwards, so it's horizontal center matches the map's lower edge golden ratio[2]. One more thing comes to mind, no matter which solution for the scale is going to be realised. Would it be possible to make it indicate nautical miles? Well, just some thoughts from my end, thank you for listening.
