Crash/blank page upon sim data retrieval : LNM 2.7.8.develop aircraft progress coordinates display turned off by default

[KOKAProduktion]

However i've found another issue while testing this prototype with the latest LNM version:

• LNM 2.7.8.develop
• MSFS 1.22.2.0

Aircraft progress coordinates display appears to be turned off by default since LNM 2.7.8 causing the OL prototype to crash as soon as sim data is coming in.

To fix this I had to check on "Coordinates" at Tools -> Progress Display Options:

Hope this helps too... :)

Cheers!

Fixed with albar965/littlenavmap@fdce051
There is now a separate bitset for the web interface which has certain features like the coordinates always enabled.

Hi @albar965,

wow cool, thx for the rapid fix! Sorry, I didn't mean to bother you with this, as i didn't see it as a bug on LNM side... That's just an issue for me :) I'll have to check coords parsing on my side and probably display a hint message instead of crashing.

Nevertheless, thanks and cheers!

Also this will become obsolete by introducing #1

[albar965]

Ahh. Stupid me. Thought it was assigned to me. I can revert the change if you want. 😄

[KOKAProduktion]

No, you don't have to, since this workaround-retrieval becomes obsolete with the API anyway...
Thanks!

[albar965]

Right. I'm wondering anyway how you deal with the different coordinate formats which can be selected in LNM options.
JSON/REST API will simplify things a lot, I suppose.

[KOKAProduktion]

...how you deal with the different coordinate formats...

I don't :) I just assumed the DMS string format ("deg min sec dir, deg min sec dir") in progress_doc.html is constant until i've found out it's configureable via LNM settings. So it just "crashes" atm when no or another format is provided.
