"Closed" airways overlying other data #3339

Closed trevorhannant closed 3 years ago

trevorhannant commented 3 years ago

Summary of issue/change

Using TopSky profile on AC West (I have noticed this with SCO_CTR) also, when an airway/CDR is closed and is "blanked" from the display, certain other data is masked by the resultant overlay. For example, when the N90 is closed, the RNP fixes for Exeter are covered:

ex-rnp

Depending on the zoom level, these are either fully masked or partly. This may just be a draw order issue?

On Scottish, some of the coastline is taken out (if enabled) when the P18 is "closed" north of Newcastle.

One for @luke11brown perhaps?

Doesn't TopSky have built-in extended centrelines you can use?

trevorhannant commented 3 years ago

It's not the centrelines, it's the fixes. If you look at the RNP fixes I've got set to display for 26, BATSU is part obscured along with NEXAN. LETSI is completely hidden on the north side as the airway gets covered up rather than removed by TopSky when it's during closed hours

So, you are correct in that TopSky does infact draw a ploygon on top of the EuroScope defintion.

Unfortunately, due to how EuroScope works, it can't draw anything before EuroScope has finished drawing what it wants to. I've asked Juha, but unfortunately, it won't work. ref: https://vatsim-scandinavia.org/forums/topic/3593-topsky-draw-order-areas-over-maps/

I can however, do the following to fix your issue. https://prnt.sc/wh073t I can make TopSky draw the fixes in yellow, so it will appear as if EuroScope had drawn them, I'll leave EXJET beacuse it's only active when N90 is.

As for the centrelines, @danielbutton is correct, TopSky does draw them for you. They are even set to be zoom dependant, so will help out de-cluttering the display when covering top down. Obviously, with the EuroScope drawn C/Ls, you have the same issue as the fixes.

With the coastline, it could be a bit more difficult to implement. Because it doesn't appear by deafult on any of the NERC ASRs, simply as it's not a feature of the real system (AFAIK). So that'd be my only sticking point.

Will that satisfy your Exeter fetish Trevor? ;) If so, I can raise a controller pack issue.

trevorhannant commented 3 years ago

So, draw the fixes as in TopSky draws them rather than using them from the ES Display Settings? Yeah, that would work!

If the coastlines can't be drawn, it's not a great deal - sometimes it's a "nice to have" rather than anything, particularly if you have VFR and they're following it... Guess I'll just have to trust them to do so! :p

I need to spend some time looking at the TopSky settings for runway centrelines - haven't dug deep enough yet...
