Settings - Task

Here you can define the task turnpoint schemes and the drawing options.

TP Scheme

The turnpoint scheme defines how the automatic switch to the next turnpoint is executed, if a flight task is active. A flight task can be defined and activated in the Preflight setup Task Dialog. Two turnpoint schemes are supported, Cylinder and Sector. Whichever is selected, the appropriate definition window will appear containing the selectable parameters.

Switch Scheme

The automatic task turnpoint switch provides two modes. In both cases the area specified by the cylinder 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 turnpoint 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 turnpoint passage.

Cylinder

If Cylinder is selected in the TP Scheme, you can here define its radius centred on the turnpoint.

Sector

If Sector is selected in the TP Scheme, you can here define a Sector centred on the turnpoint. Three parameters can be used for the sector configuration. "Inner radius" defines a circle around the task point, whose radius can vary between zero and the value of "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 90 and 180 degrees.

Shape

Here you can define whether the Cylinder/Sector used has an outer border line or not, and whether this is filled with a transparent colour. Switching off both will make the turnpoint invisible, if it is not otherwise marked by a symbol, such as an airfield.

Course Line

Here you can define the width and the colour of the task course line.
