FPLCheck (V1.6): flight plan checker

Post by Bre901 » Mon Nov 04, 2019 4:06 pm

As a tasksetter, I find that I have spent too much time checking and re-checking my flight plans (which does not prevent me from occasionally posting tasks with incorrect settings :oops: )

So I wrote a little program that automatically verifies that certain parameters of Condor obey pre-defined constraints.

The beta version is available there : https://drive.google.com/open?id=1EIU0e ... wJT6sInsrQ

Comments are welcome

WindTurbulence *** NOT OK: 2 should be: <= 1
ThermalsTurbulence *** NOT OK: 2 should be: <= 1

;)

Well - maybe you could make another small app: 'RL wx from igcs (few) to C2 wx fpl converter for given task'?
I know we don;t have all informations, but those could be retrieved from somewhere else maybe. (Manually, if not automatic).

Just idea. :)

Some Tchin-tchin pilots have very delicate seats of the pants :lol: :roll:

That being said, it's just a template, you can set whatever you want

Some improvements :
- The program has an icon (à la "CondorUTill")
- Wildcards can be used to check TP parameters
- Start & finish altitudes

Following suggestions received on another forum:
Could we have the comments directly in the popup window?
Done
If there are too many comments, the list will be truncated, you will have to look at the logfile.
And it would be nice too to be able to set a control of the starting height (max altitude - ground altitude) with a range, for example between 1000 and 1500m.
Done
Fortunately the range functionality works without any modification of the code :mrgreen:
It is therefore possible to define a validity range for any numerical value (see example in README.txt)
And finally, could we have an automatic correction of reported errors with save to a corrected fpl ?
If there are other requests, I'll put that on the to-do list

Strange name Marc... :shock:

Seeing your other programs I would have thought it would have been named German Like also... Maybe something like CoFliChe. :wink:

Just kidding...
FPLCheck: flight plan checker is fine.

You're right, but as it's just a beta version of a very simple program, I haven't taken the time to work on the name yet :wink:

Fixed a display bug :

The error message was incorrect for AGL altitudes that didn't conform the constraint (although the test was correctly done)
before :
TPWidth3 : 0, should be : >= 0 (confusing, isn't it ?)
after:
TPWidth3 : 0, should be : >= 0AGL (640.0)

Cosmetic changes in reporting window :
- added "(Min Alt)" and "(Max Alt)" after TPWidth# and TPHeight# respectively
- added "... See file FPLCheck.log" if window too small

Small requests. :)
Could it check few fpls at once? (Want to select all fpls from contest to check)
FPLCheck.log could show them one by one with header with fpls name
- as an option: use FPLCheck.log only (no popup msg)
Also
- could it skip all OK lines (to show invalid only lines) in FPLCheck.log?

btw Notepad 3 gives me error: Inconsistent Line Endings in FPLCheck.log:

Inconsistent Line Endings115044.png

I've done it for CoFliCo, so that should be easy
- as an option: use FPLCheck.log only (no popup msg)
Also

That could be done, command line options or via a .ini file ?

However, kids visiting this weekend so not before the middle of next week

I could add a CR at the end, but does it really matter ?
You could un-check the "Always show this dialog" tick-box :wink: :wink:

IMHO *.ini would be fine...

Sure, no hurry!
Thank you for all your tools! :)
