1. Main Program:
<deep breath>
a. Undockable windows & proper multi-monitor awareness for the app.
I have 2 x 19" monitors and really need to put the Virtual Radar Screen on one monitor and the whole Interface with MyFlights, Alerts etc. on the other monitor.
<deep sigh>
2. Play Recorded File:
a. Option to speed up or scan file rather than watch it in ‘real time’
b. Maybe a MediaPlayer type interface/progress bar that can be dragged to scrub through the timeline?
c. Possibly some kind of Task Scheduler to set it to Start/Stop recording at a certain time. Good for recording your own flights when you have to be at the airport and not at your PC!
d. Recording in progress indicator.
3. Preferences:
a. Grid Visible Columns – option to change display order
4. My Flights Window:
a. Highlight the selected or alternate rows like an Excel spreadsheet?
5. Editing Aircraft:
a. Why oh why do you limit editing to one cell at a time? And then click elsewhere just to be able to save it. Painful. SBS-1 for example opens up the whole aircraft record card so all changes can be made easily
6. Reporter:
a. Why on earth are the only choices Today & Yesterday? Needs a calendar or some other way to choose also
b. Yesterday should mean Yesterday. Not Yesterday minus Today so far!
7. FTP:
a. Add configurable ftp upload time
b. Add enhanced information such as; Number of Flights Tracked etc. using $webtags or similar
c. Option to specify screenshot size to prevent website being thrown out when RB screen is resized!
8. Weather:
a. Function works well with 3 choices but would it be possible to have it display in colourful, icon form such as that with other plug-in weather add-ons or the SBS-1 bolt on Metar Viewer?
See
http://www.kinetic-avionics.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=44239. Vastly expanded MyAlerts list to include;
a. Option to give description of Mode-S or Registration to identify at a glance what your own Alerts are for?
b. Send to SMS Text option. If sat outside in the garden it would be nice to know what the plane is that is flying overhead at that moment not run upstairs or wait until later when back at PC to read email.
c. Option to format own email for using 3rd party Email to SMS services that may be limited to 160 characters?
d. Different actions for different type of alerts;
e. Different sound assigned for different types of alert
f. Different email address for certain alerts etc.
g. Option to click on Notification Message Box or Alert Log to select Alert in My Flights list and/or Map?
h. Keep a log of Alerts to browse at any time?
i. Identify Alerted flight in different colour/blinking etc.
j. Notification box to behave properly. I want it to alert me by popping open but when I close it I do not want it to jump to the RadarBox screen, put it in focus and make it active. If I do want to jump to the RB screen I should be able to do so by clicking anywhere else in the box. A close gadget should be a close gadget not a close and lets make the RB screen active gadget IMHO!
10. Linear Map Zooming. Currently one click out = 2 clicks in...
11. Cut out dependency on AirNav Server for sending Alerts, Reports etc. and be able to specify own choice of SMTP Server and choose the Sender name.
12. Please stop the busy/sleepy pointer appearing when navigating through Menus as it is really, really annoying and prevents me from selecting menu items properly!
13. Scanner interface and/or better integration of ACARS in RadarBox
14. PP MLAT data compatible
15. Prevent MyFLights from jumping around when you are trying to search or watch for something
16. Keep selected flight selected in MyFlights not have RB suddenly decide to reorganise the list and make you search for it again!
17. Ability to search in Reporter/MyLog by using keyboard keys. Instead of using the mouse to scroll down you should be able to use the keys to selectively narrow your choice like most other programs do.
18. One click option to only display the selected flight on the map quickly.
19. Ability to right-click on the aircraft legend and have a pop-up menu to display other facts etc.
20. Ability to save different home coordinates & program setup selectable by a button ala PlanePlotter A, B, C,D
I'll stop at twenty as that seems enough to think about for now...some of these are from a list I put together nearly 2 years ago so I apologise if any of them have been added/fixed.
I have just waded through 17 pages of suggestions to get here but most of these can be found in a previous post from me on page 2 of this thread dated June 2008!

Kind regards,
