Feature request: Anchored vector-lines

Hello,

 

I've been using Euroscope for about six months now and find it great.

One feature I'd like to see implemented is the ability to anchor a vector line. It is possible on the radar system of my local airport.

Basically, it is possible to put the first point of the vector line over an aircraft and it locks onto that aircraft. It is then possible to either move the other end of that vector line around as you normally would, or it can also be anchored onto any point of the radar screen. In this way you get a continuous heading readout to your selected point as the aircraft moves along.

It is also possible to have multiple vector lines on the screen at once.

 

Both these features I find very helpful and useful, and it would be nice to have the ability in Euroscope.

 

TIA,

 

Aidan Frost

Hello Aidan,

 

You actually have! It is called the distance tool. You can access that either by pressing on the icon in the menu bar, the one with a triangle or by just typing F1+d in the command line. Then click in the callsing on the tag followed by any point over the sector. You will then have your anchor line drawn.

 

Check the following link for further info: http://euroscope.hu/wiki/index.php?page=Distance_Separation_Tools

 

Hope to be helpfull...

 

Cheers

Thanks, that's a handy feature.

If you use F1+d2 it gives the item I was looking for.

 

Thanks again.
