Toni Monner (1206448) Posted February 15, 2022 Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 Is there any way to draw SCTDATA:Type=Fixes through Maps.txt to be able to activate them depending on i.e. runways in use? Or should be done in a different way that i'm missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matisse VanWezer (1385143) Posted February 15, 2022 Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 (edited) Looks like something about the GUI scaling broke. The windows and main bar(?) seems fine, but the items within it are not scaled. Old vs new (incl settings) @Bernardo Reis Radar menu is fine here, possibly because it is scaled down however.

Bernardo Reis (1096507) Posted February 15, 2022 Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 I found the issue. It's due to us using the Euroscope Font for the System GUI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the issue. It's due to us using the Euroscope Font for the System GUI. Yes. While it is possible to change the fonts, most of the graphical elements do not take into account the possible differences in the cell widths, so the used font should be as close a match with the default as possible in this regard. In this case especially, with the default font being variable-width, replacing it with a fixed width (EuroScope) font will likely lead to the texts being wider than what there is space for in some cases. The only thing that can be done if you really want to use that font is to experiment with reducing the font size to GUI scaling ratio (reduce the font size or keep it the same but increase the GUI scaling). 15 hours ago, Toni Monner said: Is there any way to draw SCTDATA:Type=Fixes through Maps.txt to be able to activate them depending on i.e. runways in use? Or should be done in a different way that i'm missing? The available types are listed in the developer guide. Drawing for example fixes is not possible as the plugin couldn't know what exactly it would be supposed to draw - the only things it can extract from the data are the names and locations of the fixes, no graphical information. You can look into SYMBOL or TEXT for drawing fixes with or without an associated symbol drawing. 13 hours ago, Matisse VanWezer said: Looks like something about the GUI scaling broke. The windows and main bar(?) seems fine, but the items within it are not scaled. Actually something about the GUI scaling was fixed. Previously the font used in the menus opened from the Global Menu responded to the System_GUI_Scale_Menus setting by mistake. It now correctly responds to the System_GUI_Scale_GlobalMenu setting. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hongye Rudi Zhang (1326158) Posted February 20, 2022 Report Share Posted February 20, 2022 Thanks for the update! I'v noticed that there is a HighlightNew function, but how can I acknowledge it from new to old as well as color change from yellow to gray?

Juha Holopainen Posted February 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 If you're referring to the Weather Messages Window, Quote New METARs are displayed in “Warning” color until the mouse cursor is positioned on them The manual hasn't yet been updated to include information on the METAR/TAF auto-update, but the same mouse-over functionality applies to acknowledging new TAFs as well.

Ok. I seem to have found a bug. both METAR performed the same act, but ZBER could not eliminate the "warning". I found that it seems to be caused by "//" or "//////" in METAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hongye Rudi Zhang (1326158) Posted February 21, 2022 Report Share Posted February 21, 2022 When I type 5 (in km) into separation, default value is NM not KM, and it will calculate 5 NM to 9.3 km automatically, possible to get a fix to change that value in metric?

Juha Holopainen Posted February 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 It was just a coincidence that the ZBDT METAR could be acknowledged. There's an issue in the code that prevents the acknowledge action when 'plugin' METARs are being displayed (it tries to acknowledge a VATSIM METAR instead, and depending on how many VATSIM METARs have been received, one or more 'plugin' METARs can be acknowledged). It'll be fixed, as will be the range rings entry. The code for acknowledging new TAFs will also be fixed, it also doesn't work in the current version.

Jonathan Fong (1308253) Posted February 27, 2022 Report Share Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) Plugin isn't loading properly for me, when I try to load it via the Eurosocope Plug Ins menu I get the following error: Ignore please! I figured out the issue (improper syntax with the SCTFILEDATA command on my own part). Edited February 27, 2022 by Jonathan Fong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
