Ability to set custom distance #1203

Closed matthew-dyson closed 1 year ago

matthew-dyson commented 1 year ago

It'd be handy to be able to set a custom distance, especially in instances of a flight that takes off and lands at the same destination (for example sightseeing, training, or disrupted operations). This will ensure, even a 3-hour flight to nowhere, will still contribute to the overall distance travelled of a user.

I believe this is already possible. I have one such flight (disrupted operations, had to turn back halfway through).

Changing the distance will only update the total distance after refreshing the page though.

How'd you get this distance into OpenFlights? I've not got an option online to add a manual distance, but I think I could through a CSV import.

I did it by editing the input boxes that show up on the lower right hand side of the map (duration and distance) and the clicking Save.

Actual magic. I don't think I would've seen that in a thousand years facepalm.

Closing!
