Weekly build update!

Thanks for all the feedback from the community! Please keep it coming so that I can continue fixing issues and adding new features!

Updates in this build:

  1. Added the option to view individual scenery pack coverage areas by pressing the new "Show on map" button in the scenery list view.
  2. Updated the way that scenery overlay tiles get rendered to prevent some areas on the map becoming solid blue if you have multiple packs that cover the same area enabled.
  3. Updated the way that airport overlays are generated by situation to a regular expression based function that finds lat and lon data. This previous function was based off of what I thought was a standardized format which apparently is not the case when it comes to apt.dat files. Please let me know if you continue to see custom airports and field that you have enabled not rendering. I also updated the size of the overlay that gets generated, and made it more red to make it easier to spot when zoomed out.
  4. Completely overhauled the way orthophoto overlays are generated by using a much faster method to calculate coverage area. This new function reduces processing time by almost 95%. This will hopefully alleviate some of the wierd overlays that some folks were seeing.
  5. Updated the function that generates overlays for all enabled scenery packs (and changed the name of the button). I had previously limited the number of total overlays that could be generated, but with the above enhancements I have removed these limitations, so hopefully you will see coverage for all tiles in your packs now. Please note: if you have packs like SimHeaven enabled, overlays for these packs will not render when viewing all enabled packs, as their coverage areas are much to broad, which I think defeats the purpose of seeing what custom scenery you currently have enabled. If you want to see areas that those packs provide coverage for, please use the new "Show on map" button.
  6. Added a button in the enabled scenery map view that lets you load a .fms flight plan file to see if you have the appropriate scenery enabled for all the legs of your flight... if you're using a flight plan.

That's it for this week! Keep the feedback coming!
