Static TXT and Variables data fields

[Keith Baxter]

Hi,

This is another structure. It is important to decide what your structure is.

Note this structure uses tables within tables. I cannot share the whole table as the data is not open source. But these two airports give an idea.

Code: Select all

WOW I am rambling on.

You could also do this.

Code: Select all

local fp_id = "FAOR-FACT"

local flight_plan = persist_add(fp_id,{"FAOR","GAV","EKBEX","APDUR","KYV","EGRUP","VWV","SLV","CSV","CTV","FACT"})

  fp_data = persist_get(flight_plan)
 print(fp_data)

If you look in your persistence folder, which is found here

It would have produced this.

This data could be entered via a AM keyboard. and will be stored in the persistence file

I think I have probably overloaded you with ideas. Choose what works best for you and what you understand.

This is very didatic. I will try. Please tell me if I can do this>

Hello Keith, good morning,

I had already managed to load them as cars.txt entries, but that's not exactly what I asked. Let me explain it better.
This Sample FitPlan screen has static text, was written in a text editor and loaded onto the instrument screen. The edited text can have different Flight Plan entries, just to remind the pilot. I'll see if I can be clearer.

I'm going to edit ten Flight Plan entries in txt. Is there any way in Air Manager to load a list of edited flaight plans in TXT and show them on screen, being possible to scroll down with the encoder knob, like I did in the list of menu entries? In my logical thinking I would edit these texts on the PC and insert it into an fpln.lua in the LIB folder.


Thanks
