Thanks. I don't think exactly what I want is there, so I made a 'module' that is for the moment just basically that, a single custom data query. I'll flesh it out a bit more before sharing.

Hello, I'd like to know some of the codes for outputting the current financial state of the VA. In particular, I'd like to see how to output the sum total of all profit ever! i.e. the current 'cash' held by the company. In viewing finance_balancesheet.tpl I can only see monthly totals. Any other function calls or documentation are also welcome I am considering creating a little module for a bit of financial role-play immersion.

Hey, if anyone wants to give this a try, please let me know if it's working. Basically as a webdev I was a little twitchy about watching the browser load 360 different icons, so I also wanted to 'fix' this. I've replaced the icons with an SVG image of a plane, that will rotate in accordance with the heading. Because it's drawn by SVG it can be rotated by javascript (Google maps doesn't let you rotate icons based on images, hence the need for the 360 icons in the first place) and so it doesn't cost anything in page load. Personally I like the style of the icon a little better also as it goes with my layout. You need to backup your acarsmap.js before making this change. Then you need to comment the follow section, as shown (this will let you revert easily if something goes wrong) /*var pos = new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lng); flightMarkers[flightMarkers.length] = new google.maps.Marker({ position: pos, map: map, icon: url+"/lib/images/inair/"+data[i].heading+".png", flightdetails: data[i], infowindow_content: detailed_bubble });*/ Ok, so if we tried to load now, there would be no icons. That'd be bad. Now we use the flight data to generate an icon and rotate it: var planeSVG = { path: "M19.671,8.11l-2.777,2.777l-3.837-0.861c0.362-0.505,0.916-1.683,0.464-2.135c-0.518-0.517-1.979,0.278-2.305,0.604l-0.913,0.913L7.614,8.804l-2.021,2.021l2.232,1.061l-0.082,0.082l1.701,1.701l0.688-0.687l3.164,1.504L9.571,18.21H6.413l-1.137,1.138l3.6,0.948l1.83,1.83l0.947,3.598l1.137-1.137V21.43l3.725-3.725l1.504,3.164l-0.687,0.687l1.702,1.701l0.081-0.081l1.062,2.231l2.02-2.02l-0.604-2.689l0.912-0.912c0.326-0.326,1.121-1.789,0.604-2.306c-0.452-0.452-1.63,0.101-2.135,0.464l-0.861-3.838l2.777-2.777c0.947-0.947,3.599-4.862,2.62-5.839C24.533,4.512,20.618,7.163,19.671,8.11z", rotation:data[i].heading-45, fillColor: '#FFFFFF', fillOpacity: 1, anchor: new google.maps.Point(0,0), strokeWeight: 1, scale: 1 } var pos = new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lng); flightMarkers[flightMarkers.length] = new google.maps.Marker({ position: pos, map: map, icon: planeSVG, flightdetails: data[i], infowindow_content: detailed_bubble }); Yes that big messy string "path:" does eventually look like an aeroplane. It should still behave the same way: clicking will give the flight info. Bonus! You can change the colour of the icon easily by putting the right hexcode in fillColor. If you're especially clever, you could even generate a random colour for each icon.
