Selecting ALL gliders

Post by PhilRees » Tue Oct 26, 2021 4:30 pm

Hi Guys
On selecting the all gliders option, the list box appears at the top of the screen and only the bottom few gliders are visible.
Any thoughts please?
Thanks in advance.

You can scroll the list with your mouse-wheel and/or arrow keys on your keyboard.

Thanks for your reply.
However
The box only shows 4 gliders
I can select any of them
I cannot scroll the list by arrow keys or mouse wheel
Took a photo but too big to post
Thanks again😢

When the Plane class All is selected,
Select the Plane type box. It will become blue,
Use your keyboard Up and Down keys to scroll through all the gliders.

Again thank you.
The problem is, on selecting ALL, as you say, it turns blue and opens another list in a new box.
This box is situated at the top of the condor window and only has 4 entries in it.
It is possible to select any of these 4, but NOT possible to scroll above the highest item, Standard Cirrus.
Why is this new box appearing so high on the screen when most of the others are lower down?
If I select the STD Cirrus from this list, I can add water ballast, whereas I can’t add ballast if selected from the Club class box. Which is as it should be.
My problem is I want to fly the Libelle with ballast, which means accessing it from the ALL section and not the CLUB.
Sorry to be long winded.

When the Plane class All is selected,
Select the Plane type box. It will become blue,
Select the Plane type box a second time, the list closes,
Use your keyboard Up and Down keys to scroll through all the gliders.

Maybe you have set a very low screen resolution in Windows?

Thank you.
Now able to ballast up the Libelle👍

Seems non intuitive after the other classes open in a drop down list box?
Would it be the full list is too long and only the overflow is showing from the top of the screen? It’s tge last 4 entries.
Cheers

Yes, it happens when your screen resolution is very low and the whole list doesn't fit on screen. If you have a HD monitor this doesn't happen

Hi there !
There is an alternative : you can drag the condor window up close to the border of your screen, after what the plane list should "deploy" itself downward instead of upward.
