Bernardo Reis (1096507) Posted June 12, 2023 Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) We would like to use the plugin default symbols for FIX and AIRPORT in TopSkyMaps. We are sucefully using it for VOR and NDB however it seems that we can't use FIX and AIRPORT. This is testing in 2.5, haven't tried 2.4 Edited June 12, 2023 by Bernardo Reis (1096507) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernardo Reis (1096507) Posted June 12, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 Actually not even VOR and NDB are working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juha Holopainen Posted June 15, 2023 Report Share Posted June 15, 2023 Can you explain the issue a bit more? What have you done, what is the expected result and what are you actually getting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernardo Reis (1096507) Posted June 15, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2023 I'm trying to use the default symbols from TopSkySymbols: In the TopSkyMaps file. For example: SYMBOL:FIX:UPKAT Would draw the FIX default symbol over UPKAT waypoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juha Holopainen Posted June 16, 2023 Report Share Posted June 16, 2023 Ah, those symbols are currently only available for the plugin's own use, only symbols defined in the Maps datafile can be referenced. It probably wouldn't be a lot of work to enable the use of those symbols as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernardo Reis (1096507) Posted June 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2023 (edited) If you could. Trying to draw the symbols myself I always end up with them 1pixel off-center which drives me nuts. It also would probably enable the drawing of non-odd pixel side sized symbols Edited June 16, 2023 by Bernardo Reis (1096507) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juha Holopainen Posted June 18, 2023 Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 It shouldn't have any effect on what can be drawn, or how the symbols are drawn. A symbol defined in the Symbols data file (or a hardcoded default one) should produce the exact same drawing as a symbol defined in the Maps data file. If you see a difference, please let me know, it's not intentional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernardo Reis (1096507) Posted June 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 It's just that my symbols always turn out crooked when using LINETO, never can get them centered which is a bit frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
