Thankx for the update, but still no circle for me. Incheon is clicked, but no circle appears. I did refresh the page, tried it in an incognito browser window to purge cookies…
Refresh in that case is not enough then. Do you emptied your browser cache as well?
-
@Micro_440th See my edit above please, tnx!
-
Yep, seems to work in all the browsers for Win 11. Well done and thanks!
-
@Micro_440th : Awesome, Thanks Micro!

Update July 15th 2022
Added mission.ini drag and drop
When you drag and drop a Mission.ini file onto the interactive map you will see the preplanned
threats, flight plan with waypoints and the steerpoint line markings. This is useful when briefing
in conjunction with the whiteboarding. -
@Micro_440th That’s great work, really. Thanks !
-
@Micro_440th For those who use iPad Mini or regular iPad as your kneeboard like me, you can drag and drop in split screen from your shared drive to the Interactive map. Here is a screenshot running split screen after dropping the file into the map. I will work on a scroll lock for iPad so you can also measure on the iPad (to be done).
-
Can’t wait for the other maps to be done, thanks @Micro_440th !!

Update July 19th 2022
Added whiteboard function
In whiteboard mode you should not use the ruler and if you do you will ERASE what you have drawn.
To start drawing select the pencil from the toolbar and start drawing. You can use the eraser from
the toolbar to erase sections on the whiteboard (this will also erase .ini data).
You can select clear/delete icon from the toolbar to remove all the markups and redraw the .ini
data.To Reset everything on the map you can select the reset icon at the bottom of the toolbar.
Go ahead and give your briefings with the Whiteboard option and share your screen with Discord or
Jitsi. -

Nice! Is there a way to keep the ruler settings on screen?
-
@Icer Not yet.
-
An idea: to have the bullseye on the map and be able to toggle it on/off. Fits well into mission planning
-
@ohommes Drag and drop also works on iPhone using multi touch: Go to your shared folder and press and hold (using index finger). If it shows a popup menu just continue to hold and don’t release. Now with your thumb swipe up and click on Safari where you already have the interactive map loaded. Now just drop the file there. See screenshot after the drop.
-
@jayb I would have done that if the Bullseye would be in the mission.ini file but it isn’t. It is also not in the Pilot.ini after you hit DTC save. So I can add an option to let your place the Bullseye for discussion but target_25 is not available in these .ini s. If you think allowing to place and this discuss the placement is good then I will add the option to place it on the map.
-
@ohommes that would be a great option to have. The default placement could be the map default. Thanks for considering it
-
@ohommes would be cool!

Update July 20th 2022
Added Bullseye function Added 4 colors for whiteboard function
Bullseye
Althought bullseye is target_25 this is not stored in the mission.ini or pilot.ini. However by
selecting the bullseye icon in the toolbar you can enable/disable the bullseye and when enabled you
can drag the bullseye to the location. -
These are the map (x,y) coordinates for the default Bullseye in KTO:
BullsEye
x: 1523550.8
y: 1280832.2On KTO, the bullseye could default to that position.
A question regarding zoom out: If I zoom out to get a good look at the map, I have to zoom my browser window down to, say, 40%. What happens is then that the drop-down and the drawing controls also scale down to that and become very small and hard to see and click on. If possible, it could be cool if they could keep their size when zooming in/out. Or if some other zoom mechanism could be put in at some point.
Thanks,
JayB
