Search_HQ
...for creating CASARA search patterns in
OziExplorer and GPS's
Suggestions for Future Changes (post version 5.0.0):
- Creation of a CSAD map overlay for the UI-View APRS live tracking
program
- Printing of Fuel/Bingo information and Navigation
information to standard forms and/or to spreadsheets. Both the X400 Air
Tasking, and the X410 Navigation forms could be created from SARCS
(Aircraft, crew and W&B info) and from SHQ (Fuel/Bingo, wind,
reserve info, and specific details of each track, such as distance,
bearing). If a field was added for magnetic variation, then the balance
of the flight plan could be completed, such as ground speed, magnetic
heading, time etc.
- Automatic LABELS on the map when creating taskings. User's could
create additional Map Comments which also get saved in the EventMap.map
file. At start-up or when loading taskings, users can choose their
Default Map or use new SHQ options similar to the OZI "load last map"
and "set last Zoom and position" system configuration options.
- detect and wait if Ozi start-up gets delayed by its splash screen
- using different colours for Transit and Search phases of a
tasking, and the ability to hide Transits
- splitting of long taskings into multiple routes to accommodate
certain GPS's
- ability to load and manage ALL routes from SHQ. This may be
necessary to implement the preceding 2 enhancements.
- a built in Help file
- ability to specify an EventFolder on a Network drive vs a mapped
Local drive
- remove extra segment from end of TCR (when "Fly to Nearest..." is
unchecked)
- increase the width of the X, Y airport boxes to accommodate
idents and names
