OzRunways Question...

Does anybody know what the yellow "X" on the planned flight track means? I haven't seen this before.

I'll have a guess with out referring to a manual
Yellow = caution, whats about, Mt Kaputar, Lsalt caution maybe as it must be within a few miles of track

Why ask here? Contact Oz Runways, you'll get the correct answer and it takes just as long to type.

At that speed, that is the point you die of old age.

And looks to be flying a jet !

To answer the question, it's the highest point of terrain.

OzRunways Question...

Typical pprune, I actually did email ozrunways but there was no response.

There is never a shortage of smartarses on here.

Unless its something to benefit everybody, probably best to close this thread and email questions direct to [email protected]

Not sure why I didn't get yours JetA, I answer about 20 per day and never leave any unanswered emails (as far as I'm aware).

G'Day Shagpile,

I wouldn't mind that some good questions are on here, as a few of us might like to know as well, and this obviously saves the same answer to the same question to multiple users....

And, 'Tis good PR and a good 'look' for your fine product....

Cheers

Question

I'm sure this is a settings issue somewhere but I can't work it out. In the picture below you can see the 10 mile markers to the east of Hecto. However on the west side of Hecto on the active leg there is an additional pink marker interspersed among the 10 mile markers. It's not a big deal but can be annoying on longer legs.

What is it I've missed?

Try under -> Settings, then:

Own Ship Icon and

Waypoint sub-types

The Navigation ability of Ozrunways has really moved forward in the last few months. It's still a little rough in places and crashes sometimes, but is getting very good and will get there eventually.

I used to prefer AirNav Pro for in-flight navigation, but now Ozrunways is my preferred app. You get an amazing amount of functionality for about 100 bucks.

Talking

Lol. No. Note though that I'd picked up the new Qstreaming wifi signal. You're lucky I wasn't watching a movie.

I didn't actually realise I'd picked up the wifi until just abeam Wagga. I was able to connect and search through the menus. No time to watch anything though.

A bit more info re the issue. When you transit Hitch and the next waypoint becomes active, you get more of those pink lines interspersed with the ten mile markers on the active leg. ie, it once ever affects the active leg.

Those pink bars are 10 mile markers.

To remove them go into Map View Options.

Looks like you have a track out and another one back, which is why sometimes there are overlapping pink bars.

Not sure you'd need 10 mile markers for a VFR flight. I thought it was only the military that used these?

Bit right of track Keg, was the FO watching a movie and not keeping track?

Could you have zoomed in or out and they remained painted? Lazy pixels?

Keg,
Interestingly all the magenta ticks after HECTO and evenly spaced ticks prior to HECTO are rendered on top of the green trk line and the errant magenta ticks prior to HECTO are rendered beneath the green trk line.
