You can install the new version over the old one but you must close/exit PlanePlotter before installing the new one. Version 5.5.4.8 of PlanePlotter is on the web site now. Thanks to David T for suggesting a kludge to facilitate backward compatibilty with this change. Mlat processing has been modified to remove a potential vulnerability to changing the designated aircraft during the final stages of the Mlat analysis.Ī bug whereby repeated loading of charts using polynomial calibration caused a progressive creep in viewing position, has been fixed. This means that sharing will resume with the same notional geographical boundaries when PP restarts. PP now remembers the last chart coordinates between sessions, even if PP is closed (and subsequently re-opened) in MySky and View.Aircraft screens. My recommendation is to stick with North Up charts and to press F11 if you want to match your outside sky view with the PlanePlotter display. Obviously, if you rotate a chart, you will also have great difficulty in conceptualising monitored ATC instructions for an aircraft to take up a particular heading, for example. Therefore any annotations on the chart will be rotated accordingly becoming difficult to read. If this happens, use a smaller chart or stick to rotations that are multiples of 90 degrees, such as zero.Ĭharts (including OSM maps) are rotated intact as images.

If you try to rotate a large chart by any angle near to those values, it may then exceed the memory capacity of your machine or provoke sluggish behaviour. As a result, when the angle of rotation is close to 45, 135, 225 or 315 degrees, the dimensions of a square image, for example, become root-two larger on each side, making the number of pixels double the original number. It is therefore larger than the original. The rotation algorithm produces a new image that encloses the entire original image after rotation. There are some considerations to bear in mind. As the Help file notes, COAA accepts no responsibility for any adverse reaction, such as nausea, provoked by viewing familar landforms at an unfamiliar angle. In fact, it was Dave R's comment about Spatial Orientation Deficiency Syndrome (no acronym) that tipped the balance in favour of adding the feature. In response to overwhelming public demand (9 posts in favour, 6 neutral posts, 2685 expressing no preference at all, making a massive 0.33% demand amongst users), I have implemented the option to rotate charts, maps, satellite images and outlines by a user-defined angle. Rotatable charts, maps, images and outlines Note that since only the most recent five sharers are listed in the sharer string, if an aircraft is being received by more than five users, alerts may not be generated for such aircraft.

The match with the specified share code is sought in the sharer string. Unlike the other options in this dialog, wildcards are not permitted (because it would hardly be useful in this context and because of confusion with the "own code" asterisk). There is an additional option in the Alert on.Match dialog to generate an alert on a specified share code. Only if the symbol was otherwise going to be the default Mode-S yellow, will the user-defined colour for that altitude band be used instead. Thus ACARS plots will still be red, HFDL plots will still be magenta, plots that are timing out will still be orange. Note that the user-defined colour is over-ridden by any source-specific symbols colours. In, if you click on one of the FL altitude band buttons, you can now choose a symbol colour as well as the range of altitudes. You can now customise aircraft symbol colours plotted on the chart according to altitude. If you have a version-specific firewall (eg Zone Alarm), you may have to reassure it that the new version is permitted to access the Internet. You can install the new version over the old one but you must close/exit the old PlanePlotter before installing the new one. You may need to exercise your browser Refresh function to force it to show you the new version. If you don't like this version, you have no cause for complaint, simply go back to the version that you did like. Version 5.5.4.4 of PlanePlotter is on the web site now.
