Length of Local Op Data and Global Op Data fields

Greetings,

The length of both the Local and Global Op Data fields is 14 characters. Any chance of having these longer, in particular the Local Op Data field? I'm writing a plugin for storing extra text (eg. airport name and airline callsign) and it would be great to not have to truncate the text. Perhaps the 14 chars could be displayed when the strip is in its normal state but when it gets expanded in width (ie. middle clicking the aircraft callsign) it could show more text. Currently the text bounding box extends with the strip width but it is still limited to 14 chars.

Thanks.

Hi Justin

I think I have it set as it is in the real system, but I could definitely increase the local op field like you suggest. I’ll look into it when I refactor the strips to make them customisable

Thanks for your response and for considering my suggestion @Jake Saw. I figured it was probably a case of emulating real life. It would certainly be great if you get time to make it bigger at some stage.
