Apart from one major omission, it is certainly an improvement over the previous version which I wrote directly ontop of the reset function. Thanks for the contribution. A couple of comments. One major, the rest very minor. 1) The runway specification is missing. This allowed you to specify a location relative to a runway threshold, on approach to that runway. Previously you could set "2 miles from KHAF runway 30 at 1000ft", which would set you up for final approach for that runway specifically. This has to be re-instated. Unfortunately this is going to leave you with a bit of a confusion UI. as a user might want to specify either a radial from an airport, or a runway. 2) Title isn't consistent with the menu item. I suggest changing it back to "Location In Air". "Relocate to a Point Aloft" is too verbose. 3) For consistency with the other menu items, you should only have one rule underneath the title bar, not two. 4) The "Other details" sub-title, while not pedantically correct, is unlikely to confuse people. Ditch it. 5) Your comments are much too verbose. I'd suggest reducing them to a quick point about needing magnetic rather than true heading. 6) Current nasal syntax is to use # to start a comment, not ##. Certainly not #### 7) Don't forget to remove the #!/sed line and remove the gory details section. 8) You've got some inconsistent indentation, but so has most of the rest of the code, so I wouldn't worry too much 9) Ditch the throttle warp discussion. Why discuss it if you're not going to use it? -Stuart Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
