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.
