Ability to delete or zero out elevation data from Aircraft Trail #679

Closed smitty97 closed 3 years ago

smitty97 commented 3 years ago

As I fly many trips in the simulator, the Flight Plan Elevation Profile view becomes a mess of dotted lines.

I would like to keep the positional data of the aircraft trail, but have the ability to zero-out the previous elevation data so this view becomes clearer.

There could be an option in the Map menu "Delete Aircraft Trail elevation data only"

Not sure if I understand but you can use menu -> Map -> Delete Aircraft trail. You can export it before using File -> Export Flight Plan to other Formats -> Export flight plan as GPX.

The criss cross should have been fixed with 2.6.13. See changelog there. Additionally the trail is saved in the logbook entries and can be viewed and exported there.

Thanks, what i mean specifically is i want to remove dotted lines from here:

But keep them here:

So if all the elevation points were set to 0ft it would accomplish cleaning it up.

Will check out 2.6.13 for crisscross.

There's also a separate trail removal menu item in the elevation profile context menu.

Delete Aircraft Trail

The aircraft trail is saved and will be reloaded on program startup. This menu item removes the user aircraft trail from the elevation profile only. It does not remove the trail from the map. Use this if the trail appears in the wrong place or shape after creating of modifying a flight plan.

The trail in the elevation profile is of no relevance for the GPX file export.

Wonderful, thanks!
