I totally agree with Turbo, let's think laterally. And I propose to do so in
terms of use cases. Gents, please describe the way you would indeed use such
a feature (in detail). I am willing to collect them and to describe all
congruencies of the requirements and we can try to build a decent and
versatile feature.

and why do you want to restrict that on Alternates? why not the last
thermal? why not your teammate via Flarm or teamcode? why not your home
airport? I think if we do this we should do it right and make it flexible to
account for these things too. But as I said, I have no idea yet how...

Maybe when you click on the "Next Waypoint" infobox a dialog could open that
let's you choose your target or something like that. Time for brain storming
:)

I also  support the idea of a selectable alternate 'box' giving ATC Position
reports data. We just need an "Alternate1-DistanceInNm-BearingFrom" Infobox.

In fact the discussion  sounds similar to a discussion some months back as
below. This may help in defining the specification for the box.

The previous discussion included:

Subject: RE: [Xcsoar-user] [Xcsoar-devel] ideas for improvements ~ info box
~ distance and radial from selected airport.

Addition to the suggestion below.  Glider pilots in Australia are
increasingly having to converse with Regular Public Transport aircraft in
terms that RPT's understand.  Several smaller airlines that operate in G
airspace in Australia are challenging gliders lack of aids particularly SSR.
These RPT's understand distance and direction/radial from their destinations
[only] so it would be useful to have a selectable information box that shows
distance in nautical miles and bearing/radial from RPT destination.  In my
case that is Cooma NSW but it could be Canberra, Temora, Wagga, Dubbo etc.
[I now understand that the Gliding Federation of Australia has given an
undertaking that gliders will monitor CTAF radio frequency of RPT airports
so position information can be given] 

So my suggestion is for an information box that readily shows distance in
nautical miles and radial from selectable airports in the XCSoar data base
so glider pilots can readily give accurate position information to powered
aircraft.

Subject: Re: [Xcsoar-user] [Xcsoar-devel] ideas for improvements

Not sure of the intent of this  subject, but
 
I have spent too much radio time listening to pilots on long tasks trying to
pass on their location.  Particularly Corowa visitors probably 300 km NW of
Corowa.  Radio chatter takes many  minutes in several languages.

My suggestion is for an XCSoar  data box giving bearing and distance from a
selectable waypoint [that is not necessarily the task's next turnpoint.
viz., Condo 240/36km [from Condoblin].  Then they could agree the reference
from time to time and then radio their position in the above simple terms
from that point.

This function looks similar to 'alternate 1' but I have not figured out the
specifics yet.  Or it may be in Team modes?
 
If there is this functionality in XCSoar somewhere, my apologies but  I have
not found it.

Keep up the good work.

Hey all !

I support Horts request to enhance Alternates' capability.

Personally I would not need a whole new concept (like Task, Airport,
Waypoint Screens).
For me I would be very happy if I could select Alternate1 and 2 myself (from
Waypointlist, Map, etc as mentioned) and have the basic infoboxes available
for them (Distance, Heading to / Bearing from, Arrival Alt, GR required)

Most of the time I want to keep navigating on task but still keep an eye on
one or two specific alternates.
The behaviour as it is now (automatic selection) could be default until the
pilot explicitly selects an alternate.

Greets Henrik

PS: One could nicely use this for ATC Position reports as well. Just need an
Alternate1-DistanceInNm-BearingFrom Infobox.

I am also supporting the idea of selectable alternates. if the whole request
is too complicated to implement, at the minimum, just making the alternates
selectable and frozen instead of automatically selectable and keep changing,
will be a great enhancement. As was suggested, the default behavior can
remain the same (so not to have negative impact on anyone) but once the user
selects an alternate it will remain frozen. Perhaps the original request can
be broken down to multiple enhancements to increase the chance that the
easiest one will be implemented in the up coming release?

Thanks,

Ramy
