Basic Radar/Chart improvements

I am very please with the basic Radar so far. The fact that it is actually simulating a Radar system makes it a very valuable tool and the options available are already decent. The chart is basically useless at the moment but that has been mentioned before. Here are some wishes for improvement.

Radar Wishlist:

  • The scanning animation is very rough refreshing only every 20-30° at once. A smooth scanning animation would be more convincing.

  • Day and night color scheme

  • Compass rose

  • echo trails

  • Courser with bearing and range

  • Hoping for an advanced Radar (with ecdis integration) in the future

Chart Wishlist:

  • Ship symbol fitting ship outline

  • Day and night color scheme

  • Course/Heading indicator with a vector

  • Full zoom range

  • VRM/EBL options

  • Course/North up options

  • Navigational aids visible

  • Autopilot course indicator

  • Basic route with waypoints (optimal with track pilot integration)

  • NMEA output! (to offload development efforts towards more sophisticated external solutions)

  • Hoping for an advanced ecdis in the future

Virtually everything raised here is basically already part of the big brother Nautis.
