eBag

Hello,

first of all I wish to compliment and thank you for the amazing job you are doing with Skyvector!

I'm a skyvector user, a pilot, and the author of a plugin built for the X-Plane flight simulator, called eBag: I write to get some information about skyvector integration.

eBag is a lightweight PDF and image viewer embedded in the sim itself, please see: http://xplane-plugins.net [OFFICIAL]

It's a non-commercial, closed-source project.

As requested by so many happy users, I managed to give some simple web browsing capabilities (in a next version still to be published).

This feature would allow to open skyvector.com right inside the sim, particularly handy for those users who prefer to fly using a single monitor (right the target of my plugin).

I also managed, by executing your own javascript, to periodically "center the map" on the simulated plane's position, obtaining a cool "moving map" out of skyvector!

I'm asking: DO I HAVE SkyVector OK ? (in terms of licensing/copyright)

Please consider that:

- this integration will give so much to X-Plane simulation, and potentially bring many X-Plane users to Skyvector.

- the eBag plugin, as said, is and will forever be non-commerial

- I'll of course show proper attribution to SkyVector.com as the copyright holder

Waiting for you kind response,

thank you.

Skyvector inside X-Plane with eBag Plugin

Please give your OK for this. I have some moving map utilities I use with X-Plane and everytime I use them I say "I wish I could display SkyVector in a moving map."

Skyvector inside X-Plane with eBag Plugin

This would be a really useful addition (freeware) to X-Plane havijng the fantastic SkyVector functionality inside the simulator along sode the PDF maps, flight plans etc. Please allow the developer to use the SkyVector maps.

Great idea

This would be awesome. As a single monitor user, I would love this.

Terrific idea!

If possible, this would be great as I have only 1 monitor.

I'll keep an eye on this as I have a website on which I'd like to use the SkyVector maps (I've even willing to pay for the privillege) but despite repeated requests in here and via email I've never had a response to any messages.

Hopefully you'll have better luck than me !

Please Approve :)

Please approve this. Lots of pilots use simulation to keep their aviation skills fresh between real-world flying. Having the benefits of SkyVector in the cockpit would be amazing.

Skyvector inside X-Plane with eBag Plugin

Access to Skyvector without dropping out of X-Plane would be a huge benefit for single screen fliers.
