Hi All,
Firstly I would like to congratulate the devs, particularly Max who seems to
have been pumping out
changes constantly, on version 6.
I know I should probably create a ticket or something but I would like to throw
around a few ideas which I had whilst dusting cobwebs for some odd reason.
I just discovered the V6 gesture support for right page and zoom and it is
great . It led me to a few ideas for other gestures. I noticed an L shape takes
you to a waypoint select screen. it occurred to me that the same shape can be
used 3 other ways.
I thought that perhaps the main in flight parameters that need to be changed,
such as bugs, ballast and mcready could go to other simple screens with VERY
large up down buttons to select values.
Further, how about a clockwise circle brings up thermal detector and an
anti-clockwise one FLARM full
screen? Tap to return to main screen.
Whilst I am warmed up on the subject of GUI, we need the ability to save a
profile on exit by name,
so as to simplify site and aircraft changes.
It would also be nice if during start up where one now can select a profile,
we could have a screen with few large buttons and values that allows the
following.
1. Select profile.
2. Edit profile.
3. Ballast
4. QNH
5. Max temp
6. Continue
Edit profile screen.
1. Site data- (Goes to) Maps, airspace, waypoints and landing field setup page.)
2. Edit Glider type- Goes to Polar page
3. Task select/Edit.
4. Pilot Info for declarations
5. Save this profile
6. Continue
This would cover all the basics values that need to be changed. The six buttons
fill the screen completely.
The sub screens for MCready, bugs and ballast changes in flight (See gestures
above), could just be big value number with up/down swipe to change.
Lastly, a 3 top info box setup with LARGE direction arrows at each side and
waypoint name, track error in degrees and distance in the middle, effectively
joining the 2 existing middle info boxes.
I'm probably dreaming!
I thought others might have some different suggestions for which settings
should be present?
My thanks again to the devs you are doing a great job.
Regards all.
