Feature Request: Runway "Thumbnail"

This is sort of similar to mykv's request for ILS Feathers. I would like to see the airport icon contain a "thumbnail" of the runway(s) orientation.

FS already does this in its map display - the little blue circle includes a rough indication of the runway layouts in white. A2A's J3 Cub with Accusim grabs the FS map and displays it over the FSX window, including the blue-and-white airport icons. A certain payware moving map program whose name begins with FSMap actually pulls a graphical display of the airport from FS and displays it over the map display (above a certain zoom level).

Tim, have you given any thought to going beyond the simple black-and-white circle of the airport icon in the current Plan-G?

Yes. It's even in the Development Road Map document...  ;)
