Version 4.23

[Administrateur]

4.23 - Implemented new features to make WinPilot even easier to use:

 

Touch Page to make selecting items on the map easier

Added optional small Airspace Warnings, so now the pilot has a choice between full-screen warnings that contain all the possible information, or smaller warnings that don't block the view of the map but contain only the most important information

Added new menu buttons: one to show or hide terrain information on the map, the other to turn on or off the Climb Maximizer.

Details:

 

Touch page which makes it easier to interact with map:

 

It is possible to specify what on the map should be sensitive to the next touch of a finger. For example, if the pilot wants to GoTo to some Airport, he can select Menu.Touch.GoTo (with the Airport type being selected in the upper part of the screen), and then when he touches the map, WinPilot will find the closest airport to the place where the map was touched, and invoke the GoTo function to that airport. The upper part of this page allows selecting what entries should be selected (Airports or User Waypoints), and the lower part specifies what actions to take. It is not necessary to be precise in touching an item, WinPilot will automatically find the closest airport/waypoint to the place where the map was touched.

Available functions:

• Info - displays Details page about the touched Airport/Waypoint
  
• GoTo - makes WinPilot navigate to the Airport/Waypoint that will be touched on the map.
  
• +Task - inserts Airport/Waypoint into Task 00 (it is possible to specify at what position should the insertion be made).
  
• Create TP - creates a new user waypoint where the map is touched
  
• SUA Info - displays information about next touched Airspace segment. It is not necessary to touch airspace label, the whole airspace segment is sensitive to a touch when this function is invoked. The label contains distance to the selected airspace, which is updated in real-time. So for example when flying near an airspace, pilot can select it using the Touch function and observe the distance remaining to the airspace.
  WinPilot now automatically assigns the Touch page to the third iPAQ button (this can be reassigned via Menu.Edit).
  

New small airspace warnings can be selected via Menu.User Airsp.Configure.Small (Menu.User Airsp button is not selected by default, it needs to be enabled via Menu.Edit).

 

Implemented new menu buttons:

'1 Map' = Terrain On/Off . This button can be especially useful when near a waypoint or airspace. The pilot can quickly disable the terrain, leaving only the task, sectors, and airspace on the map, which makes that info better visible on the screen. This button is now by default assigned to the first iPAQ hardware button (this can be reassigned via Menu.Edit).

'1 CMax' = Climb Maximizer On/Off. This function is available only in WP PRO, and allows fast removal of Climb Maximizer for example to observe start line or a waypoint sector. This button is now by default assigned to the second iPAQ hardware button (this can be reassigned via Menu.Edit).
