Suggestion: silhouettes

Another suggestion for a future enhancement. Display the silhouette of each aircraft in the aircraft list, to aid quick identification of the type of aircraft.

More examples of silhouettes can be seen at http://www.sbsbst.co.uk/iank/

You cheat and use Paint Shop?

I think that tarbat has created this to show how it might look, either that or he's even cleverer than we all think :-)

I cheated and used MS Paint, to give an idea of what it could look like. Inspired by work done by the SBS-1 community. I wish I was more clever!! Although, who knows what might be in the next release ;)

We have just finished adding this feature to V1.6. Work never stops at AirNav Systems.

Note to AirNav Development. Before you release this feature, you need to cleanup the aircraft database, there's a LOT of aircraft with ICAOType ="...". I've corrected all the "..." types in my NavData database, but more keep on getting added from your central database. For example:

A re-populate from GAS for all those with ICAOType ="..." should fix this:
