Settings - Task
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.
- Line to target point
-
Here you can define the width and the colour of the task target line.
Furthermore you can define, if a bearing line from your current position
to your selected target shall be drawn. This line is drawn in different
colors, if a glider has been selected according to the reachability of the
selected target. The used width is the same as for the target line.
- Line in flight direction
-
Here you can define the width, the color and the drawing of a line in
flight direction. This line shows you the direction in which you are moving.
