Title: Question
Post by: Jeremy on July 28, 2009, 09:03:30 PM: Custom Legend list.
I have the box ticked and have Home displayed. I have entered Newbury,(lat),(long) in the text box hoping that it would display Newbury rather than Home. Am I on the wrong tack?

Have you entered the lat and lon in decimal degrees like this?

Newbury,51.4016,-1.3213

I use a shareware program called Quick Screen Capture:

Not too expensive but very flexible. I'm sure that there is free software out there that does the same.

Have you got Custom Legends switched on:

Map > Custom Legend

Post by: Jeremy on July 28, 2009, 11:04:39 PM: Congrats. Shame I can't change the type face and colour but that is minor! None of this is in the manual and if I click on Preferances/ Help nothing happens.
Ta A. well spotted!

Post by: Allocator on July 28, 2009, 11:10:48 PM: That's Beta software for you - I'm sure that you wouldn't want to wait for the Help file to be updated before the software was released. The right click to manually edit aircraft details isn't in the manual either. Beta functions might or might not make it into the final release.

You can change the Custom Legend colours. Use Preferences > Map Colours and set the colour you want in the 'Line of Sight' setting. Don't forget to 'Export' the colour scheme if you want it to be available next time.

Post by: RodBearden on July 28, 2009, 11:51:12 PM: I don't know why people use third-party software for taking screenshots - Windows has always had its own built-in screenshot method - just press the Print Screen (PrtScn) key for a full-screen capture, or Alt-PrintScreen for just the current window. These both put the screenshot on the Clipboard.

Paste that into any graphics program, photo editor or word processor, and job's done.
