Flight Path Tutorial: Step Three
Creating a Flight Path
|
|
| |
Option A:
- Use the Configure dialog
box to turn on TAF or VOR sites to aid in airport identification.
- Place the cursor over/near the desired departure airport and
double-click the left mouse button to begin a new path.
- Left click once on/near each en-route airport to continue the
route. A line will appear connecting where you have clicked.
- Upon reaching the final destination, double-click on/near the
destination airport. This double-click action ends the path and the
program requests the data from the server and creates a pop-up window
with the requested graphic. This process may take a few seconds.
|
Option B:
- Use the Configure dialog
box to turn on TAF or VOR sites to aid in airport identification.
- Click on the New path button. This starts the process.
- Click on/near a departure airport on the map.
- Click on/near subsequent airports for the desired path. A line
will appear connecting where you have clicked.
- When you are finished creating the entire path, click on the
Show... button. This action ends the path and the program
requests the data from the server and creates a pop-up window
with the requested graphic. This process may take a few seconds.
|
- The above pop-up window should now be visible.
- If any mistakes were made creating the path, simply click the
Clear path button and begin again.
- Click the Show... button to toggle the pop-up window on
and off.
- Choose different data types from the pull-down menu in
the flight path pop-up window to be displayed on the route as well
as the horizontal view. At this time, one affects the other - they
cannot be operated independently.
- Resize the pop-up window using the narrow and wide radio buttons.
- Note: the flight-path graphic is a
snapshot in time representing a single time only - not a
merging of data from estimated travel time along the path.
