A new release was staged for upload but SourceForge services have been down for some time and since just when I was going to upload. Frustrating... Only the public project pages have come back, and apparently the problem is serious enough to only hope the upload and Git facilities to be back late next week at best. So I have decided to make it available anyway (some of you might want to enjoy it this present Sunday, and I am out flying next week-end), and update the wiki page nonetheless.
The major addition in this release (r5) is the detection of route/path conflicts (near miss anticipation) and its warning system, which now allows for convenient en-route (CTR) control. See the feature description on the wiki and a screenshot.
Also worth mentioning:
- customisable radar colours---screens and preferences differ, and colour choice is important to a lot of people
- finalising the routing system, in particular for convenient en-route control (CTR): route drawing on the scope, shift+click on navpoints to modify assigned route, etc.
- custom by-contact text aliases for more text chat productivity (some use it intensively).
I will be pushing to the SF repos and changing the tarball download button as soon as I can but for now:
- those who want a tarball to extract without bothering with Git:
- Git people can use the mirror repos at GitLab (praise stable service!): https://gitlab.com/atc-pie/atc-pie.git [EDIT1: though access is still being suspended now and then, I have been able to push to the SourceForge repos a while back so if you were set up there it is probably worth trying a pull before changing anything]
WARNING:
I have moved the airport-specific settings to unclutter the settings directory, so if you want to restore your airport settings you should execute the following command from the ATC-pie directory:
- Code: Select all
mv -v settings/????.ini settings/apt/
EDIT3: updated wiki link; section had moved to different page
