I have made a few additional changes to the Flight plan editor.
This is what it looks like now.
This shot basically shows the functions.
If you look at " BLOCK 2 " in the shot , the description states " Add Waypoints " , and that was exactly what it did for each of the 5 lines.
Add Waypoints is kind of restrictive from a in flight view point.
For example if you wanted to replace your current flight plan SEQ/INDEX #6 with a Lat/Long , then it would entail adding it as SEQ #6 , then deleting SEQ #7 which had previously been at #6 before it was incremented.
I wanted a direct swap by a single action.
Additionally , I thought it would be nice to be able to insert a Lat/Long as a DTO in a single action.
Basically what I was after a method to ENTER any of the 5 lines in Block 2 as either , Add Waypoint , or DTO (Direct To) , or Replacement.
I created a "TYP" button that toggles ADD - DTO - REP.
HTML:
(L:TypEntry, enum) ++ 3 % (>L:TypEntry, enum)
With readout.
HTML:
<Element>
<Position X="177" Y="114"/>
<FormattedText X="30" Y="10" Font="Tahoma" FontSize="8" LineSpacing="9" Adjust="LEFT" Color="#CC9900" Bright="Yes">
<String>%((L:TypEntry))%{case}%{:0} ADD%{:1} DTO%{:2} REP%{end}%</String>
</FormattedText>
</Element>
Then in "ENT" button switch I utilised the code exactly as provided by Tom at a post #8 above.
The following is entry code for the Lat/Long Degrees to 4 decimal places.
HTML:
<Macro Name="Button9">(L:DAT49 mode,enum) 2 == if{ (>K:NAV1_RADIO_SWAP) } (L:DAT49 mode,enum) 4 ==
(L:Display mode,enum) 1 == (L:TypEntry, enum) 0 == and and
if{ (L:latitude best,number) (>@c:FlightPlanNewWaypointLatitude, degrees)
(L:longitude best,number) (>@c:FlightPlanNewWaypointLongitude, degrees)
'TGT' (L:F111_Wpt_Sum, number) near scat (>@c:FlightPlanNewWaypointIdent)
(L:F111_Wpt_Sum, number) (>@c:FlightPlanAddWaypoint)
0 (>L:FPEntry, enum)
0 (>C:fs9gps:IcaoSearchStopCursor) }
(L:DAT49 mode,enum) 4 == (L:Display mode,enum) 1 == (L:TypEntry, enum) 1 == and and
if{ 0 (>@c:FlightPlanWaypointIndex)
(L:latitude best,number) (>@c:FlightPlanNewWaypointLatitude, degrees)
(L:longitude best,number) (>@c:FlightPlanNewWaypointLongitude, degrees)
'TGT' (L:F111_Wpt_Sum, number) near scat (>@c:FlightPlanNewWaypointIdent)
1 (>@c:FlightPlanDirectToDestination)
0 (>L:FPEntry, enum) }
(L:DAT49 mode,enum) 4 == (L:Display mode,enum) 1 == (L:TypEntry, enum) 2 == and and
if{ (L:latitude best,number) (>@c:FlightPlanNewWaypointLatitude, degrees)
(L:longitude best,number) (>@c:FlightPlanNewWaypointLongitude, degrees)
'TGT' (L:F111_Wpt_Sum, number) near scat (>@c:FlightPlanNewWaypointIdent)
(L:F111_Wpt_Sum, number) (>@c:FlightPlanAddWaypoint)
(L:F111_Wpt_Sum, number) 1 + (>@c:FlightPlanDeleteWaypoint)
0 (>L:FPEntry, enum)
0 (>C:fs9gps:IcaoSearchStopCursor) }</Macro>
<Area Left="197" Top="64" Width="20" Height="20">
<Cursor Type="Hand"/>
<Click Kind="LeftSingle" Repeat="Yes">(L:DAT49 mode,enum) 3 == if{ (>K:HEADING_BUG_INC) } @Button9</Click>
</Area>
It works a treat .
(1). At "TYP" button set entry mode required ADD-DTO-REP.
(2). Then hit any of the 5 line "ENT" buttons.
It's fantastic , it radically changes the Editor instrument.
BUT ... Unfortunately as is often the case , I have run out of buttons.
I had to place the "TYP" button on the ICAO page , when it's primary duties are on the Lat/Long page ,
it's an absolute pain , not satisfactory.
I now want to transfer it to a on screen hot spot on the Lat/Long page.
My problem is that I want the following "TYP" mode text readout to appear.
ADD ...
DTO ... REP in one colour , with the current selected mode to be in a different colour as shown.
How do I write that code ?
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Karol
PS: the following code will at a single click 'Scrub' a flight plan completely , regardless of how long that flight plan is.
HTML:
0 (>@c:FlightPlanDirectToDestination)
1 (@c:FlightPlanWaypointIndex) (>@c:FlightPlanDeleteWaypoint)
0 (@c:FlightPlanWaypointIndex) (>@c:FlightPlanDeleteWaypoint)
isplay mode, enum is 0 (the visible call)
Good jobl!
