Open jakkos98 opened 1 year ago

jakkos98 commented 1 year ago

Will be possible to add new time duration categories:

  1. Flight on FlightGear multiplaer server
  2. Flight on Vatsim
  3. Flight on others multiplayer servers like OPRF event

Best regards Pozdrawiam

Thanks for the suggestions

Technically, timing being connected to FG multiplayer is possible to do. As for VATSIM, I think I can only check the connection time with swift, but if swift was actually connected to VATSIM, it will be impossible to check it. As for the OPRF servers, I don't know how to connect to it yet, but if it's giving a special command-line option, that's doable too.

There is also the question of how to present all this additional information in the GUI without increasing the size of the current window. Adding additional columns to the GUI means the need to enlarge the window, which I would like to avoid in order to maintain support for the still popular 1366x768 screen resolution.

I added Multiplayer and Swift columns. For Multiplayer I don't distinguish the server, whether it was flightgear.org or another one like opredflag.com, because it is possible to switch between different servers during the same flight.
