Hello Tony,
Referring to the Code Revisions section located here:
http://www.itsyourplane.com/html/revisions.asp<view-source:http://www.itsyourplane.com/html/revisions.asp>
there's a link to the evolving SimpleATC formal documentation located here:
http://www.itsyourplane.com/html/satc.asp<view-source:http://www.itsyourplane.com/html/satc.asp>
Under the SimpleATC section, there's a lot of information about this
pending version. One of the notes reads:
NOTE: In the Blind Pilot mode, the ATC Window remains open at all times
while in flight. This feature can be enabled and disabled. See Voice
Commands > Blind Pilots/Visually Impaired area for details. In the:
Voice Commands > Blind Pilots/Visually
section, it reads:
Maintain ATC Window open during flight
B V I A T C on
B V I A T C off
Since totally blind pilots cannot see whether or not the ATC window is
open, by activating BVI ATC, the ATC window remains open during flight. For
those who are visually impaired, they can deactivate this feature.
NOTE:: Effective Version 4.1.0.266.
I will be releasing BETA Version 4.1.0.267 in a few minutes that will
address a few of the items that have been raised of late... like the Cowl
Flaps.
Please keep in mind that BETA 4.1.0.267 is NOT what the final release will
be labelled. The final release will stall be called: 4.1.0.266. I'm only
raising the BETA version to the next minor version so I can be sure BETA
testers are running the correct software. It also means that you can simply
install the software, without having to uninstall the previous version 266.
I hope that's clear... <LOL>
Thanks for all of your help Tony.
Regards,
Robert
