Mark Jansen Posted May 27, 2014 at 08:18 PM Posted May 27, 2014 at 08:18 PM Hi everyone, New in v3.2 is a functionality of the HDG part of the tag, which sets the [Mod - Happy Thoughts]igned heading in the direction of the line that is drawn by the mouse. Although convenient for blipdrivers in the simulator, I found this feature cause unintended behaviour when controlling on the normal network. It's rather easy to unintentionally click and drag from the AHDG-part of the tag, for example when opening, closing or moving a tag. Too easily, this unintentional heading then overrides the direct routing or previous heading that was previously displayed. Personally I only find this feature disturbing as a controller. In case it is decided to keep it this way, would it be possible to add a function to the Options menu in which this behaviour of the HDG-tag can be turned off? Thanks in advance!

Mark Jansen Posted May 28, 2014 at 01:10 PM Author Posted May 28, 2014 at 01:10 PM You can easily remove the [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ign Heading Popup from the Heading tag item in the Tag Editor. I don't want to loose the opportunity to [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ign a heading in the tag, I want to get rid of inadvertant overrides of HDG or direct waypoints as caused by the new function where a heading is drawn from a mouse drag.

Eric Bocaneanu 906549 Posted May 28, 2014 at 09:07 PM Posted May 28, 2014 at 09:07 PM I see. [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ign the Open Heading Popup to the Right Click function. That way you will not mistakenly click it and drag off. Eric Bocaneanu ROvACC Director Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michiel Blom 1216804 Posted May 29, 2014 at 09:15 AM Posted May 29, 2014 at 09:15 AM I agree with Mark, This is really annoying and there should just be 2 button functions, one with the drag option and one without. Switching to right click might be a temporary quick fix but doesnt really fix the real problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gergely Csernak Posted May 30, 2014 at 05:05 PM Posted May 30, 2014 at 05:05 PM When you know the function is there it is not too easy to unintentionally change the heading. But probably an option to disable it would help. Gergely. EuroScope developer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Bocaneanu 906549 Posted May 30, 2014 at 06:44 PM Posted May 30, 2014 at 06:44 PM Rather then disable it I would rather have it be a separate tag item, don't you think? That way optional tag items don't have optional settings in General Settings. Eric Bocaneanu ROvACC Director Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gergely Csernak Posted June 1, 2014 at 10:06 AM Posted June 1, 2014 at 10:06 AM Yes, that is also easy. Gergely. EuroScope developer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Jansen Posted June 1, 2014 at 05:50 PM Author Posted June 1, 2014 at 05:50 PM Hi Gergely, So can we [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ume this will be changed in the next update?

Gergely Csernak Posted June 9, 2014 at 10:12 AM Posted June 9, 2014 at 10:12 AM As Eric suggested a new TAG item is already implemented. Gergely. EuroScope developer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
