F4AirbaseBrowser update - 07/12/10 04:57 PM

Made some small modifications to F4AirbaseBrowser
http://users.telenet.be/rhamphor/F4AirbaseBrowser/


Version 2
*********

Send recon data to falcon:
Select the correct steerpoint when flying.
Hit the LIST button on the ICP. Then the 1 button (DEST) to enter the destination page.
Now you're ready to push in the correct coordinates for the selected steerpoint.
Right click on the recon list and select 'Send Keystrokes'.

Conversion from NET framework 2.0 to NET framework 3.5


Version 1
*********

Recon data:
Full recon data for each airbase, extracted from F4 AF, patch 1.0.13

Map screen:
You can zoom and pan with your mouse, just like on the map in falcon.
Primary and Divert fields are marked in blue.
Info airfield is marked in orange.

Primary/Divert field:
Get these from recon screen in falcon.

Wind direction in degrees:
Get this value from the briefing screen (recon stage)
Or via ICP -> CRUS (in-game)
It wil calculate the correct runway into the wind (not right/left runway), when you have a primary/divert field set

Runways:
Bold-Red means 'Not prefered'. This runway isn't selected, even when it's best placed into the wind direction.
Bold means 'Approach with caution, obstacles on glide path'

Colors for values of primary/divert field:
The program colors some values, when they don't correspond with the plane config/position.
Green means correspond, red not.
for example tacan, heading to divert/primary, runway with course on tacan.

Export:
Export airbasedata (tacan, runways, recondata, ...) to a text file.
Can be used if you like to print the data.

Nearest airbases:
The number of airbases listed here depends on the displayNearest number in the ini file.
You can dubbelclick on one line to directly display info for that field.

Hotkeys:
It's best, when you use hotkeys, to use a key modifier (shift, alt, ...)
Because when the drop down have focus, for example the airbase drop down, pressing the c button directly jumps to airbases that begin with a c character.
Otherwise you get strange results when pressing a button that performs 2 functionalities.


There is a ini file (and explanation file) included for modifying settings.
For screenshots, see download folder.
http://users.telenet.be/rhamphor/F4AirbaseBrowser/

It is compiled against the NET framework 3.5 (VS2008).
Program, source files and data files are included. Feel free to modify as you want.
Bugs/suggestions are always welcome.

Hi rhamphor,

'Send Keystrokes' don't work with WIN 7 64bit.


Too bad, otherwise the program is very good.

I like it.
