Investigate a Potential chartbundle.com Integration

[smitty97]

Hi, Just wondering if it's possible to call up a chart from https://www.chartbundle.com/qc/ while in-game. It would be so nice to not have to pre-populate the charts folder. Maybe right-click on an airport on the map tab gives you the option to load its chart.

Thanks!

Great idea! Could you help me and get in touch with them if they are okay with me implementing "native" access to their charts into my extension? Also, we would have to investigate who is behind chartbundle and how they get ahold of their charts and if there are any license implications involved...

I don't know anyone at that site; it's just one i had bookmarked. Aren't the charts (at least in usa) free public information put out by FAA?

They are available via charts@chartbundle.com

Also, 'for news and updates, check our blog:sdwflying.blogspot.com or Twitter:@chartbundle

Sounds great!

It would be pretty cool if someone could help out here by reaching out to the guys behind chartbundle so that I can stay focused on actually implementing the stuff that you guys would love to see in the mod :-) It's a pretty good first step into open source contribution, not even requireing any coding skills!

Great first issue, therefore :-) Help out by simply getting in touch with them to ask:

• if they are okay with me implementing "native" access to their charts into my extension,
• who exactly is behind chartbundle,
• how they get ahold of their charts,
• and if there are any license implications involved...
