Suggestion: Mode-S code in aircraft details
« on: August 10, 2008, 12:36:25 PM »
With the growing number of columns available in the aircraft list, it would help me if I could display the ModeS hex code in the aircraft details window (next to the photos).

ModeS code is not something I need to see most of the time, but on the odd occasion when I need to see it, I have no way of seeing it other than adding the column on the aircraft list.

With the growing number of columns available in the aircraft list it would help me if I could order/sort the display columns so I could put the information that is important to me at the beginning of the list to save trying to scroll across an already scrolling list and going cross-eyed!

That or give me the opportunity to undock the window completely and put it on another monitor so I can see all of it...sorry...cheap shot! ;^)


I had promised myself not to mention u.n.d.o.c.k.a.b.l.e. w.i.n.d.o.w.s. for at least a week!

<ducking>

Kind regards,

I wish you wouldn't highjack threads with this campaign for undockable windows.  I've got to say that undockable windows is way down my list of priorities - I can't imagine a high percentage of Radarbox users have more than one monitor.  You've asked several times, I'm sure Airnav know that's what you want.

Anyway, back on topic - yes, being able to change the order of columns would be useful as well, but must be a bigger change than just adding ModeS code to the aircraft display window.

Sorry Chris,

Wasn't hijacking threads at all as my initial paragraph made quite clear - or so I thought :-(

Certainly not a campaign...

I was merely picking up on a further addition to your mention of 'growing number of columns available in the aircraft list' which seems to be on topic.

The ideal place to do that would be in Preferences where you are able to select/deselect which columns you wish to have displayed.

The ability to either drag a selection up or down or use an up or down arrow to move the selected column to its required place in the list.

However if I had the ability to *self-censored* then the ability to sort the order of columns wouldn't be as important to me as I would be able to see tham all.

Apologies if I touched a nerve...

Hope that clears that up.

Kind regards,
-=Glyn=-

No problem Glyn.  I just couldn't see how dockable windows had any relevance to a request for an extra field in the aircraft details window.
