Improving the properties of the sea surface symbols #186

Open harrywipperfuerth opened 4 years ago

harrywipperfuerth commented 4 years ago

The properties of the symbols for sea surface symbols should be improved, since not all amplifiers can be filled in according to 2525c or 2525d:

Proposal for the content and structure of the property window (named "Sea Surface") for sea surface symbols:

Remarks:

The green marked amplifiers correspond to the specifications according to 2525d. However, the unmarked amplifiers appear to be useful or necessary.

Quantity, Direction of Movement, Date-Time-Group, Altitude, Evaluation Rating, Location and Feint/Dummy Indicator are not listed in the list of amplifiers for sea surface symbols in 2525d.

However, these amplifiers are very well listed in the equipments for land symbols in 2525d (in 2525c the sea surface symbols were part of the equipments section).

My suggestion would be to include these amplifiers in the properties and map them on the map accordingly.

In my opinion, the amplifiers "Engagement Bar", "Guarded Unit" and "Special Designator" would not need to be included in the properties section.

The Icon "Change Symbol Type" is used to change the "basic symbol" within the sea surface symbols without the user having to create a new symbol and thus discard the previous entries.

The amplifier "Offset location indicator" must be enabled when the symbol is displayed on the map:

The sea surface symbols of the "SIGINT" (Signal Intelligence) area should be displayed with the property set for "Sea Surface".

The sea surface symbols of the Cyberspace area should be displayed with the property set for "Sea Surface".

The issue was reopened because not all contents of the issue have been implemented in the current version of ODIN.
