Over the past couple of weeks I have been busy reworking my original APM Mission Planner. Together with my partner/designer Samantha Nelson we have focused on improving the APM Planner’s interface, ideally resulting in a more intuitive user experience.   

Below are a couple screenshots of the new APM Planner!

    Not exactly, the fences will be very usefull, but is not what i was needing now.

    Mi missions are taking pictures of certain lot, not always the lot limits are fences or roads or things that I can view in GE images.3692291827?profile=originalnow see that other case when the lot limits does´t match with anythig viewable.

    3692292008?profile=originalthis is one use, other could be mark objects to avoid, like electric lines, antennas and objects like that.

    Martin: We'll be adding "GPS fences" soon. Is that what you want?

    Now Everithing is working perfect and we (Franco & I) are flying complete missions.
    But we need to load polygons (kml) in the planner to have the boundaries of the lots that need to fly     marked. because otherwise I have to switch all the time between GE & planner while planing each mission.

    THANKS !

    Adi: are you using the latest Mission Planner 1.0.82 on a machine with dot.net framework 3.5 installed? That's automatic on Win7 but on XP you've got to install it yourself. (This is all in the manual, BTW)

    Hi Michael-

    The planner gets better every day!  We are so close to actual missions - any idea when 2.0.39 will be downloadable in planner?

    Hi Dario,

     

    What you are asking i cant change.
    at the moment the current frame rate is based entirely upon your cpu speed. because im drawing over the top of a image, this consumes alot more cpu than using a overlay. Also the image scaling should fit any res screen into that box, so i dont know why yours is outside of that. it would be a overscan issue with your capture device. My suggestion would be to use another program AMCAP ? to display your fpv, and dont run the planner full screen. as this will give you the best posible video performance.

    Hi Michael,

    Congratulations for your amazing job! It´s awesome!

    The AP Mega Planner looks impresive, it´s more than a professional gcs, it´s all in one!

     

    I use the Remzibi OSD (maybe you remember my issue about the "enable hud overlay" option), and I use PAL format. When I activate my video Input in AP Planner, some data don´t appear properly because the Planner doesn´t adecuate the video resolution. Could that be solved?

     

    Other thoughts,... It´s possible to increment the video frame rate in the Planner? I think now is about 15 fps...Could be 25 fps?

    And the last, Can I set up the Planner to open my video input and disable the hud overlay from start (when I open the Planner)?

    I don´t open a new issue in the repository because I think those comments are not a issues, just an enhancements.

    Thanks for your time and for your effort. (Sorry about my English mistakes).

     

    Regards from Spain,

    Dario.

    It is not a big deal, but I think the simulator tab needs to be reorganized. It is better to design a few zones to separate the buttons, settings and status.
