Feature request: Pause acceleration #28

Closed ghost closed 3 years ago

ghost commented 3 years ago

Similar to quitting on a 'q' keyboard input, would it be possible to put the tool into a 'paused' mode on some other key press? Meaning the script would continue to run and display the status, but the acceleration would be fixed to 1. And then on another key input the acceleration logic would enable again.

I usually only accelerate certain parts of a flight, and sometimes also just want to slow down to normal acceleration because of nice scenery etc. So this would be a convenient way to temporarily disable all acceleration, without having to fully quit the tool and restart afterwards. Just a thought...

This is a good idea I've thought about as well but haven't implemented. Shouldn't be very difficult.

Also, the ability to slow down is supposed to be given by switching to heading hold mode, but some aircraft don't report nav mode correctly...you know the ones.

Yeah, I saw the comment in the code... And yep I know the ones 😉
