Ideal Flight Accessibility phase 2

[Steve Waite]

The reader description text is missing for the locations list in the Assist window so the OK and Cancel descriptions are wrong to the screen reader.

Checking warping between runways regarding empty locations list:
I can move to each runway location in turn and to parking and back without issues.

Is the locations list empty problem specific to a particular airport, or perhaps a different aircraft behaves correctly? Is it with runways only or will changing parking only work once?

[Steve Waite]

I found the cause of the empty locations list which is to do with distances between airport features which I had not included the proper set. So some airports may not behave well. Fixed in next update.

[Steve Waite]

...That fix might only affect a few airports. Another aspect might cause the problem, the location of an airport nearby that lies nearer than some runway end of your current airport. Resolving...

[Steve Waite]

It might be a good idea to let me know which airports are in use when the list is empty, since the cause may be due to some other thing.

[Steve Waite]

The problem in the Assist page whereby after choosing a runway we move to it successfully but cannot move to another spot because the list remains empty from there on. That is a bug to do with confusing another airport located closer to our destination airport than the runway end. That was introduced a while back and can confuse the landing information in the de-brief.

[Steve Waite]

I fixed the problem of nearby airports features nearby to our runway end. The Assist locations should always be filled. The landing location will be properly described for the de-brief and the next flight starting location.

Preview 10:

Ideal Flight Professional P3D v4
Ideal Flight 10 Professional P3D v3
Ideal Flight 10 Special Edition
Ideal Flight 10 Original

I have uploaded preview 10 a little early because I wanted to solve the problem of finding parking and runways correctly with areas of congested airports. The Assist window should always provide the selection from the airport with the nearest airport feature to the user aircraft.

So I was just looking on other flight simulator addon stores for IF, and it appears that only Flight 1 has the IF Professional version. is this on purpose?

JustFlight is a very accessible store that, unlike Flight 1, doesn't have an eCommerce app to download that is largely unlabeled and has accessibility issues. I don't see the professional version there though, which is the version I'd recommend for P3D users.

[Steve Waite]

Yes, only Flight 1 stock IFPro. I'm fairly sure you can email Flight1 with what you would like, and they will organise something, if you are having trouble using their site.

[Steve Waite]

In the Assist selection, it is still possible the adjacent parking place or helipad might be confused with the real parking location.

I found the problem while enabling helipads, a distance had been truncated by mistake.

Hopefully the next build will have warping around the airport working fully.

I'm putting in throttle control so that speeds can be followed automatically. I'm just working out how best to enable that control by hot keys and functions in the Assist window.
