History / Hidden Tools

Revisions

  • Document hotspots, and the new ?hotspots=1 review overlay (EN + HE) Hotspots were not in the wiki at all: not what the ring means in flight, not the rule that derives them from the route graph, not the per-node override. Added to Waypoints and notes (what it means), Nav waypoints dataset (how it is derived and overridden) and Hidden tools (the new flag, beside ?graphlegs=1).

  • Say the AI assistant is off on the live site, not merely hidden by default featureAssistant ships false and the deployed gist does not override it, so there is no launcher on navaid.supino.org at all. The page now opens with that, and explains how to switch it on (?tune=1, or the gist for your own copy). Cross-references in The map and Hidden tools match (EN + HE).

  • Wiki: frequency NOTAMs, the mail preamble, and the editor's new export shape Sweep of all 81 pages against what shipped since the last one. Three real gaps, one of them advice that had become wrong. Frequency-Changes: documents the airfield-inspector marker for an active NOTAM that mentions a frequency, and — more importantly — why it names the NOTAM and never a value. A NOTAM frequency is true today, not in general, and a mis-parse would put a pilot on the wrong frequency. The app points; the pilot reads and decides. Submit-Flight-Plan: the filed mail now opens with a plain-language summary above the ICAO block. Records the split that matters: the preamble follows the UI language, the (FPL-...) block is never translated because its contents are codes. Also that a landing time is dropped rather than invented when departure or EET is missing. Hidden-Tools: the editor advice was WRONG, not merely stale. The page said point mode "exports JSON for pasting back into a dataset"; it now exports a route-graph `nodes` fragment that must be MERGED into the nodes map. Pasting it over a graph would destroy the file. Also notes the ride-through of unedited fields, UNNAMED_n placeholders for un-named points, and that edges are not exported. Checked and clean: no page quotes the corrected 125.60, and nothing documents closedHint (removed from CVFR) or the one-way corrections, so nothing there went stale. Changelog left alone — it is generated.

  • Route-graph review overlay, dataset correction, and the clearance-leg refusal Nav-Waypoints-Dataset: the page documented three files that no longer exist. Reporting points are projected from the layer's route graph now (navWaypointsFromGraph), not read from *-nav-waypoints.json. The CVFR count 172 was also stale: the graph holds 172 nodes of which 170 project, ZRANA and RANNO being locality labels the chart-image rebuild misread as mandatory points and now carrying active:false. Documents that active is absent-means-true (a missing flag can only ever show a label, never hide a published point), and noSegmentsReason for published points that legitimately have no segment, such as military-route ones -- they look identical to a locality label in the data, which is why the reason is required. Hidden-Tools: adds ?graphlegs=1, the route-graph review overlay -- what the marks mean, why arrow and altitude sit together at the end a direction starts from (the chart prints the figure there, so the two read side by side), why a two-way leg shows two figures, and what an em-dash means. Notes that it reads the same fields routing reads, which is how `blocked` was found on the wrong entry of 7 of the 21 CVFR one-way legs. Submit-Flight-Plan: army airways and ATC-approval corridors cannot appear in a filed plan, so the app refuses rather than warns -- the plan would come back rejected, so there is nothing to acknowledge. Also states plainly what is NOT restricted: the legs stay on the map with their altitudes and a hand-placed point is always kept; only the app's own choice changed. The cache-bust line already on the dataset page is correct as written and left alone -- deploy.yml rewrites every data/*.json?v= to the commit SHA.

  • Add Hidden Tools page (EN + HE) Documents the three URL-gated surfaces (?tune=1, ?editor=1, ?align=1), what the map-data editor and overlay-align modes actually do, the ?nogist switch, and the visible-but-unlabelled entry points (simulator, assistant bubble, GPS icons, magnifier settings, mosaic, the reference-link overflow). Linked from both sidebars under For developers, after Tuning Panel.
