SkyAngel 0.9.9 Released!
Hi Guys,
It's that time of the week again. This build adds a great deal of polish as we work towards the full version 1 release. Here's a breakdown of what's changed and new:
InFlight
---
Cut down data loading time by roughly two thirds, compared with previous release
Added "inspect" context menu item for examining all the information about any item on the main map
Approaching Features instrument enhanced with inspection capabilities, better warnings and more features drawn
When you exit the software, if the GPS was active it is automatically started next time
Follow mode (north/heading up) is now in Options, simplifying the menu item under the Chart menu to a simple check box
The map position and zoom level is now remembered
Warning thresholds are now adjustable, like they are in Plan, via the Options window
Route and track log folders have been changed to reside within the SkyAngel directory, because many devices were discarding the contents of the My Documents folder
Plan
---
Enroute Features view improved with better drawing and more helpful weather tooltips
PLOG format improved with more usage of colours to denote differences between waypoint types, radio aid types etc
The TAS for a route now comes from the aircraft default speed unless a route TAS is explicitly specified
User Waypoints window added for centralised management of user waypoints
User Waypoints are now exported to InFlight along with a route
Planned fuel is now saved along with a route
The last-used aircraft is now selected when the application is next started
Fixed a bug introduced two builds ago that would prevent SkyAngel from working on 64-bit Windows
Enjoy.
