Hi Michael
A few more points from my last sortie. I'll put them in point form again if thats ok with you, makes it easier to answer.
1. On the Gauges, could you make the speed range settable, my plane flies faster than 60km/h, so the needles are always maxed. (or even auto-scale them )
2. I really like the extra data on the status screen, but my SatCount stayed at 0, enven with 3D lock. Perhaps this is a bug?
3. The main location top-down screen zooms in way too much, and I constantly have to zoom out. This is also true when doing the t-log playback. When you set the screen up just how you like it, then pause/unpause, it messes with the zoom again. most irritating.
4. When creating the KML file from the TLOG, how do you make it so it shows the programmed track in google earth as well? I used to have that, but it has stopped doing that, maybe I switched it off by accident.
5. When I am flying a mission, and I hit "Restart mission" with the switch in MANUAL mode, it goes to AUTO mode by itself, I have to then switch modes quickly to get it back to manual. Can you make it remain in the last selected mode?
6. How are those tooltips coming ;-)
7. Is there a way to get to the APM log in the planner VIA XBEE? AFAIK you have to go into CLI mode, but then in CLI the Xbees are not connected. Must I just keep using the USB cable to dump those logs?
Till next weekend!

hi Michael!
could you see what've suggested you few weeks ago?
I rememer it for you:
1)Rotate the map in flight planner.
2)Move the entire group of the waypoint grid around the map.
3)Make poligons and not only a square when you hold Alt to do a grid of waypoint..(the fields are not always square).
I found a software that makes somes interestings features for aereal photography, i think that would be cool if get some thing like that in mission planner!
here i send you the screen shots..
thanks!

Is there a function or setup to change from metric to decimal (altitude in feet and distance in miles)?
Can you place a FPV behind the artificial horizon gage?

Hi Wessie,
as per normal ill answer as you ask.
1. i have now added a double click, that will ask for the max value. (not saving yet. wip)
2. what gps are you running? some dont send this information.
3. fixed. now only zooms on first lock, to zoom 17. and wont change unless you change it.
4. this one is tricky. as i dont have a method of getting the wp's. i will look into it further however.
5. changed... no more AUTO
6. there still comming.... .....
7. at the moment no. dataflash logs are usb/cli only. also to do the same veia xbee would take twice as long.. ie 115200 baud vs 57600 baud
and keep the idea's comming.
