Deployed mouse wheel zoom feature and increased zoom range. Zoom from 50% to 200% (was 55% to 100%) and wheel zoom is throttled to 20Hz mouse events.
-
The default scroll settings on Windows especially edge are creating large scroll steps.
For edge you should disable MS Scrolling personality to have more linear scroll control versus based on the scroll size ( that makes it very jump). Go to edge://flags and search for scrolling personality and disable that. It will result in nice zooming and scrolling overall.
For chrome you can just change the number of lines per scoll in mouse settings. These issues only play on Windows.

I am trying to drag and drop the mission.ini and the pilot.ini to the interactive map on both my ipad and iphone, with no success. It works fine on my desktop though. What am I doing wrong? The layers are all visible in Settings.
-
@Vikingo11 which browser you are using on your apple devices?
-
@oakdesign I have tried both Safari and Edge without any success.

Just a note: On Apple, EVERY browser is Safari engine. Also, that thing is a pain in the a** for every web developer like me. Today, it is what the Internet Explorer was in old times - doing all things different from other browsers.

@Atze-0 Good to know, thanks! I assume this means…either it works or it doesn’t
-
@Vikingo11 I just tried on my iPhone and later I will try on my iPad again too but the iPhone works fine. With the current deployed maps. Did you check the manual for the exact steps?
Are you holding the file until you see the green + on the icon?
What is your process for drag and drop on the iPad? I documented the steps in the manual. Also make sure you don’t have the popup menu visible that shows the layers. That might prevent you. So if you clicked an airport make sure the popup menu is dismissed and then follow the drag and drop instructions from the manual for the iPad.
Also cycle the show mission check box because sometimes the local storage gets wiped by the browser and it will look like it is off.
-
@ohommes thanks! Yes, I follow your instructions to the point. I have dropped from icloud drive and onedrive into both Edge and Safari with nothing showing up. I have also made sure to reset the mission layer.
-
@ohommes when I drop the mission.ini on to the map, the maps makes a move, but the mission does not show.
-
@Vikingo11 I don’t think OneDrive works. I think I have tried OneDrive and that isn’t integrated it looks like with iPadOS and it is not the same as from your iCloudDrive. So stick to iCloud drive for doing this.
I will test again but if not send me your .ini maybe there is an issue with the content. I do this drop every week on my iPad and have no issues but that is an older iPad Mini from 2017 so it has the OS locked at 15 now. I will try with a new iPad again but it should work.
-
@ohommes I got it to work now. I found out that it is only the pilot.ini that can be dragged and dropped and not the mission.ini. Is that normal?
-
@Vikingo11 I usually drop either. But depending on what is in the mission.ini it may not draw what you expect only one flight plan will be shown. The other possibility is that there is something in the mission.ini that makes the parser confused. This can be checked by running with JS script console on. If you see an error (not the mission .ico file) then maybe you can send me a copy of that mission.ini and I can see what is the issue and fix.
