Settings - Task

Task

Here you can define general task related turn point attributes and figures. Supported taskpoint figures are:

Switch Scheme
The switch scheme defines how the automatic switch to the next turn point is executed, if a flight task is active. A flight task can be defined and activated in the Preflight setup Task dialog. The automatic task turn point switch provides two modes. In both cases the area specified by the circle or sector has to be actually entered, or at least touched. Minimum means that the switch to the next task point will be executed after the distance to the TP, which has up to that time been decreasing, starts to increase, i.e., the minimum distance to the current turn point has been reached. Touched means that the switch occurs when the the outer border of the cylinder or sector is first crossed. In both arrival cases, the IGC logger interval is automatically set to one second for a duration of 30s to ensure the recording of the turn point passage. If the checkbox Report is activated a detailed information is displayed in the switch moment.

Shape Box
Here you can define whether the Circle/Sector used has an outer border line or not, and whether this is filled with a transparent colour. Switching off both will make the turn point invisible, if it is not otherwise marked by a symbol, such as an airfield.
The filling defines the transparency of the drawn task point figure.

Zoom
The check box with the Name Auto defines, if the map is zoomed in automatically in the near of the turn point to make the turn point details better visible. If the turn point is passed the old zoom level is activated again except the user has changed the zoom level in the meantime.

Task Point Figures
Three different task point figures are supported for the start, finish and observation (route) point. Task point figures can be a line, a sector, a sector segment, a keyhole sector or a circle. A circle expect always a radius value in its input box. If a sector is selected as task point figure, you can define a sector centered on the turnpoint. Three parameters can be used for the sector configuration. Radius 1 the Inner radius defines a circle around the task point, whose radius can vary between zero and the value of Radius 2 the Outer radius. If the inner and outer radii are equal, the result will be a full circle without a sector. The angle of the sector can vary between 1 and 360 degrees.
In the Schema box you can define, which of the provided task point figures should be the default. This default definition can be overwritten in the taskpoint editor for every single task point.
