Airspace analysis is getting better and better, paraglider routes are undergoing fixes, and we have new LogBook, plus other new things.

Version 2.3s January 7, 2012
------------------------------

NEW

. LK Flight LogBook.
Each time that a landing status is detected, three files are created/updated automatically inside _Logger folder.

LOGBOOK.LST is a notepad formatted file, textual, where each flight is saved on a single line.
It can be read using Info 2/2 LogBook "LogBook List" menu button.
Only relevant informations such as date, flytime, takeoff landing and aircraft rego are written.
The pilot has all the flights listed here, similar to other instruments logbooks.
In case of SIM mode, a "SIM" field is appended to the flight line.
The LOGBOOK.LST can be reset by user request in LK, using reset button in Logbook menu.

LOGBOOK.TXT is a notepad formatted file, textual, and it can be read from LK using
Info 2/2 LogBook "LogBook Details" menu button.
This file is reporting aircraft type, time of takeoff,
landing, flytime, max altitude reached, odometer, OLC distance ,max height gained.
In case of SIM mode, SIMULATION is added also.
Each flight is on a single dedicated note page, and it is possible to browse through all flights using the arrow keys.
The LOGBOOK.TXT can be reset by user request in LK, using reset button in Logbook menu.

LOGBOOK.CSV is in Comma Separated Value format, and can be open as-is by any spreadsheet.
It has fewer informations, and it is never reset by the software. It is made for external
usage.
In case of SIM mode, a "SIM" field is appended to the flight line.

Notes on LogBook:
- A flight is added to the logbook when the landing status is detected.
- It is also added on lk program exit, if the aircraft is still flying.
- On PNA/PPC versions, Logbook is kept only in FLY mode.
- On PC version Logbook is made also in SIM mode.
- A Takeoff must be detected, in any case, in order to "start" a flight that can be "closed" with a landing.
- Remember that the LANDING event is detected automatically about 45 seconds after real landing.



. New configurable Efficiency parameter in Safety config menu 6.
This is the default value for the Basic setting's efficiency
and it is loaded on startup.



CHANGES

. Work in progress with the new Airspace Analysis pages

. Decrease airspace warnlevel to yellow, when leaving a nonfly zone

This was missing, because the original approach was to not give repeated
red warnings when circling on an asp border. However the right behavior
should be to give warnings, and the user has to ack it if he doesn't want
to see that warning. It is also important if flying near an asp border in
parallel with it.

. Change Timegates to Time Gates on new PG button caption

. Paragliders routes by Bruno:

Fix : Out Start work only with start gate (only for paraglider)

Fix PG Task opt.
cf. http://www.postfrontal.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=5369&whichpage=2

Optimize Finish radius if PG Optmize Route

Draw Bearing to Optimized Start And Finish only if PG Optimize = ON

Fix Optimisation of very big Cylinder

Allow Disable AAT for Paraglider


. Retuned NOTEPAD window, bigger buttons

. Retune NOTEPAD limits to max 300 notes, each note max 200 lines, and max 5k.
Previously the limit was to max 20 notes



FIXES

. Fix bug loading some parameters from profiles.

. SafetyMacCready, SAFTEYSPEED (max speed in polar), WindCalcSpeed (truewind speed calc)

. Fix NOTEPAD window not fullscreen, text overlapping scrollbar

. Fix Flarm on map help, inverted Enabled and Disabled meaning



KNOWN BUGS in 2.3s, fixed in next version:
- On PNA, LogBook entries have a trailing spare character.
