QuickView critical values are not visible while in other than FlightData view/Quick tab #1609

Open suraqis opened 7 years ago

Issue details

The issue is about observability of critical UAV state values while operating with UAV missions, payload, settings, etc.

When operator of UAV changed view to any other than FlightData view or operator switched to any tab other than Quick he can't observe QuickView values. Observing some values (Battery Voltage, RPM, Altitude, Climb Rate, etc) is critical for UAV operation. So operator can react immediately if one of critical parameter goes out of normal range. We need to have few of them (critical ones) always be visible in any GCS view. We may use ToolStrip for placing QuickViews.

Opening FlightPlan view in map pane is not a solution because it doesn't solve situation if tab switched to other than Quick.

+1 See my issue #222 from 3 years ago requesting that the HUD user items be movable to make them easier to see. This issue is related in that it is a means to choose certain items that will always be viewable. In fact this request is even better since turning the HUD into a separate window requires a lot of screen real estate if it is to always remain in sight.
