Simplified “Navigation Target Points” text box

[Barrett_g]

This may be something you intend to do in the future, and the current iteration is just a simple WIP quick release run…. Hell!  This mission editor GUI issue may not even be up to Razbam…. It might be an Eagle Dynamics choice.  Anyways… I thought I’d share my thoughts on this new feature:

If we want to input a pre-loaded target, we click the “Navigation Target Points” icon, and we’re given a huge editable text box.

This HUGE box is available so we can type:

MX.Y/HXXX/AXX/VXXX

The problem is, I can never remember the order or the values.  Or what exactly I’m supposed to type.

I always end up having to get my phone out and open up the manual to page 501 for a refresher.

It would be much more user friendly if the editable text box was smaller and there was a brief description preceding the text box:

 

Set and Mission number                M[X].[Y]

Terminal Heading (0 to 359)          H[XXX]

Dive Angle (65 to 89)                      A[XX]

Terminal Velocity (700 to 1200)     V[XXXX]

 

Anyways…. Like I said this may already be in work… but if not I think this suggestion would really help!

Thanks!

Why not have a button "create new mission set", when clicked, it creates a mission/target automatically each time you click on the map. The mission data fields are automatically populated with default data, but editable if you want something specific. The sets could be displayed as units are displayed in a group, using < and > to swap between them, and the missions/targets could be displayed in a list, like waypoint actions, with arrows to move them up or down in order.
