Three things asked for, and a fourth found while doing them. The map looked like a photograph of a map, and did so twice over. The window fetched at its own pixel size but for a box a third larger in each direction -- the margin added to stop the ground blinking -- and then cut the middle out, so every pixel was enlarged by two thirds. It now asks for enough pixels to cover the bigger box at the window's own detail. Underneath that, both the window and the animation took the nearest source pixel: the tile mosaic is commonly half again the size of the picture, so most of every tile was thrown away and what survived was the aliasing. Both now average the source pixels that fall in each output cell, done as the difference of a running total rather than a loop. An aircraft that goes quiet now fades instead of vanishing. Taking it off between one frame and the next says it stopped existing; fading says it stopped talking, which is what happened. It fades where it was last actually seen and never along a reckoned track, because the reason for giving up on it is that where it would be by now is a guess. --fade sets how long, and it is in the menu. The window has alpha and fades smoothly; an indexed picture cannot blend, so the animation gained a fourth ramp at a seventh of full and fades in four steps, which at a second apart reads as a fade. A trail fades with the aircraft it belongs to, and the box goes before the symbol does. The aircraft's country of registration carries a flag now as well as the two ends of its route, from the register where one answered and from the address block otherwise. And the fourth: the window's header counted an aircraft that had gone quiet as overhead, which was saying more than had been heard.
