Kelpie Flight Planner for Flightgear / News: Recent posts

After a major rethink on how to keep this project going a little longer, I have been able to produce a new release that supports the latest Flight Gear file format (1000) and upgrade or replace other libraries to their releases.

This latest release (1.3.0) is only a minor upgrade and introduces no major new functions or changes to the overall look and feel, etc.

After a few failed attempts to resurect and modernise this project, I find I am now no longer able to maintain it.

So forewell. I hope some people have foun it useful over the years.

If anyone wants to take it over, you are welcome.

Kelpie Flight Planner for Flightgear is now using GIT for source control. The CVS repository is no longer maintained and will be removed in coming days;

The source can now be browsed at http://fgflightplanner.git.sourceforge.net/ and for other developer information see https://sourceforge.net/projects/fgflightplanner/develop

This latest release adds support for the latest map data from Robin Peel, http://data.x-plane.com/. It also adds a couple of small features: Link to show airports in Google maps and zoom in the world map using the scrollwheel.

This is a rebuild of the current source tree to make the packages compatible with Java 1.5 (the previous release required Java 1.6 which was not necessary)

The latest release of the Kelpie flight planner for flightgear is available for download.
This is a minor feature upgrade release, introducing the ability to search for and add fixes to the plan. Improved export options and a fix for the zoom in and out functionality of the world map (It now stays centred when zooming)

Release 1.1.4 adds the ability to manually add GPS waypoints to the plan, export the plan in multiple formats and to use magnetic bearings and a number of other small features.

Prior to the next release (1.1.4) I have uploaded a patch for the missing ILS bug on th airport map display and print.

The file is planner.jar and needs to be downloaded and copied to over the current 1.1.3 version at .../fgfp/plugins/au.com.kelpie.rcpplanner_1.1.3/planner.jar
