Visuals and excluding AAT sectors
« on: 28-Mar-2006, 06:05:02 »
Thanks for TP select and its really useful but I stuggle with it as I can not see what is going on. I need to see some kind of map with the TPs I'm selecting on.

I would also like to see the boundaries feature extended to include sectors greater than a defined radius excluded. So for example if I have all the TPs around RIV selected I may want to exclude TPs greater than 20km from lasham on bearings between 80 and 135 degrees.
Its a bit like excluding the TPs in a AAT sector.

Judging by the sig, that's Jerry! (how about registering, then we can all see who you are!)

The map is a good idea for a future version. Since I've done all the hard work doing a similar thing for Spine, it shouldn't be too difficult to add. Though then the next thing you'll want is to be able to select areas on the map with the mouse to include or exclude TPs. Mucho complicado (however the more I think about it, the more it appeals...).

The sector stuff should be possible, but a bit more complicated - there are so many combinations (how many sectors each with its own max radius etc.).

However, I'm not sure why you would want to exclude such a set of TPs, unless you're worried you'll fly too far out on a task :-)  Bear in mind that initial idea behind TpSelect was to pick out useful TPs where the total number a GPS could hold was limited. With PDA's and more modern GPSs that restriction has largely gone away, though there are still older ones out there (I still have a GPS90 the engine of which drives my iPAQ running XCSoar).

Because i have too many registrations

>>how many sectors each with its own max radius etc.
Just one or two would be useful

>> I'm not sure why you would want to exclude such a set of TPs
Because I want to exclude all TP south of Gatwick but not north of
Also I' want to exlude all TPs behind Birmingham but have some that do that far north.

Thanks

I'll look into this soon. First I have to finish a new release which sorts out the TP attributes (airfield, start, finish etc.) properly, and which also fixes some problems with SeeYou.
