Task
Here you can define general task related turn point attributes and figures.
-
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 display 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 or a
circle together with its provide values. 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.
