The Map Window is the main window of FlightSim Commander.
It is basically a geographic map on which all relevant navigational information
is displayed. Screenshot 2 shows the the airport of EDDK (Cologne/Bonn, Germany)
in the center of the map.
12 different airspaces can be displayed (control zone, ARTCC, ACC, TCA, CTA, CVFR,
ADA, SCTR, FIR, UIR, OCA, Korean Buffer Zone). Screenshot 6 shows the Rotterdam
control zone (in red) together with a label given detailed information on that control
zone.
The button bar at the left margin (screenshot 5) allows you to toggle the display
of individual objects on and off. Green mean "on", red means "off".
The small symbol represent AI aircraft with their call sign, ground speed, and altitude.
When you are connected to Flight Simulator, the larger magenta aircraft symbol represents
your current position.

Flight plans are created on the flight plan panel shown
in Screenshot 8. During the flight this panel also displays for each waypoint (in
red) actual time of arrival, average ground speed, altitude, and fuel consumption.
In addition, the panel shows takeoff time and estimated arrival time.
After arrival a special window helps you to identify the parking position assigned
by ATC (Screenshot 9) Selecting the proper gate, the position will appear in red
on the map.
A "flyable" approach route can be displayed on the map as shown in Screenshot
7. This route can also be selected in the Departure/Arrival Window which also provides
textual information on how to proceed.
