2.6. Menubar "Screenshot directory" wrong

Postby jomo » Thu Feb 09, 2012 10:49 am

See: FGFS Menu-bar --> File --> Screenshot directory
that is a very nice, new, useful info, but
it displays the property-value of : /sim/fg-current
it must be property: /sim/fg_home

-------
While at it: 2 suggestions for the future:
1) Menu-bar --> Location --> Position Aircraft on Ground
add the 4th option: per GPS location: long, lat, heading
to be set to property /position/latitude-deg + longitude-deg - and /Orientation/Heading-deg
take "deg" because that correlats to MPmap-values (the HUD-values in ° are not that useful here)

2) Menu bar --> Equipment --> Instrument Settings:
I suggest to add one more line to input (and show) also "pressure in hPA"
because often you have only that data, e.g. from "MPmap --> metar"
and also FGFS --> menu-bar --> Environment --> Global --> METAR-Data show only those.

Anyhow it is good to have both - because some models do only have either one to set/display!

I don't get the first issue: The "Screenshot directory" dialog displays and configures neither of the two mentioned properties.
It displays and configures the "/sim/paths/screenshot-dir" property - which is working fine for me. Not sure what problem you're seeing...
