Feature Request: Apache Waypoint types

[TheLurk]

Hello,

Maybe its planned already but it would be nice if we could specify what type of waypoint we want a waypoint to be. specifically for the apaches different waypoint types.

Waypoint types are selected upon creation of a waypoint but cannot be changed/edited once a waypoint is created.

A full list of possible waypoint types can be provided if needed or found in the apache early access manual.

thank you!

@TheLurk there is pre-release code in the fork here which gives some ability to achieve what you're seeking. See note #5 at the end of the release notes.

Would also like this if you could select the type and ident from two drop down lists, but also type them manually.

I'd imagine a drop down for the type (WP, HZ, CM, TG) and then a text box and a drop down for the 1-2 letter ident. When the user enters a valid ident, the corresponding entry is selected from the drop down menu. When the user selects an entry using the drop down menu, the correct ident string is put into the text box. When the user enters an invalid ident the drop down menu defaults to "Select Ident..." or something of the sort. On entry into the apache, the text box field is used.

A search function would also be cool.

Here is a list of valid idents, you might have to clean it up a little bit. I indented the stuff that would be most useful, at least in my opinion.
