Re: [Flightgear-devel] RFD: KSFO ATIS
As long as we're clearing up odds and ends, should we have COM1 default to 118.85 for KSFO ATIS in 0.7.9? That means that the sim will start with the ATIS text scrolling across the top of the screen, but users might not know how to get rid of it. I dislike it, because it appears to eat about 10 fps Also as long as there's no knob, easy to find to stop ATIS display, I would not vote for setting it a default. Does anyone know there additional 25 fps have gone simply by changes in the base package ? I didn't do a recompile since pre2, Martin. -- Unix _IS_ user friendly - it's just selective about who its friends are ! -- ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel

OK, that's the first objection. Any other comments?

I know this is a compromise because we are in a simulated environment, and it's a nice feature, but I think I would prefer to have it off by default. No problem -- I'll retune COM1 to an inactive frequency.

I know this is a compromise because we are in a simulated environment, and it's a nice feature, but I think I would prefer to have it off by default. I'd agree with that as well. Logically, the pilot should be tuned to tower when on the runway, having listened to the ATIS transmission prior to startup. Leaving it as the standby frequency means that people can find it very easily if they wish. May I also suggest that we change the primary nav frequency, since it is tuned to a VOR that is just out of range, and hence flicks back and forward.

I think that's great as it shows the users a feature they normally wouldn't see (unless they'd know how to get it the first place) So I vote for keeping it.
