ACARS Active Flights Display Map Updated

ACARS Active Flights Display Map Updated was created by jer029
Pilots:
I've updated the active flight display <img src="tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-computer.gif" alt="computer"> (the link is on the right side of the home page called SPA ACARS). When pilots are flying, the link will take you to the map and show you the location and flight data of active flights for pilots using ACARS programs (FSACARS, SPAACARS, or FS Flightkeeper).
The original map was a very outdated old map that didn't have any functionality. I've updated this to interface with Google Maps that allows the following functions:
* mouse-over the plane icon to see the name of the pilot
* click on the plane icon to auto-zoom in to the planes location
* if zoomed in, click again on the plane to zoom out to default position.
Also, the map controls shown on the map can also be used, and you can click and drag to move the map.
For example, after connecting your acars so that your flight displays on the home page, but before take off, click on the map and your plane icon to zoom in and you can see your plane sitting at the origin airport <img src="tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-squidder.gif" alt="squidder">.

<a href="index.php?full=1&set_albumName=JRogers-Pics&id=Untitled3&name=gallery&include=view_photo.php"><img src="albums/JRogers-Pics/Untitled3.jpg" width="700"></a>
Questions or problems, let me know.
Enjoy

<img src="tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-computer.gif" alt="computer"> Origin and Destination points, and direct flight path added (if airports are found in the current airport database I've installed). I can add missing airports as they become known.

Thanks Scott. Currently updates are every 15 Min so might be a challenge to use 15min old position report <img src="tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-help.gif" alt="help">.
