GCS spams unfinished sentences

[EwoudSmeur]

After the successful resolution of #1046, I am back with a new issue. The GCS still does not finish some sentences because it starts a new one and can in some cases start to spam messages. This can happen for instance when you turn off a drone, if I remember correctly it can then start to alternate between "all links lost" and "approaching".

Now, the approaching message is actually the one I feel is the least interesting message of them all, though you hear it most often.

I was also thinking of removing it, but a nicer option I think would be to trigger the "approaching" only if you actually flew a minimum distance (it is only useful when flying long segment after all).

It often alternates between for instance "Battery Low" and another message.

That would be useful. Or maybe an option to disable the approaching message would be nice? I was not completely aware of the function of the approaching message, initially I thought it was approaching HOME. Now I understand it is to notify the operator that the drone is about to finish a segment. However, if I check what it does in the simulator for rotorcraft it says approaching every time it leaves for a new waypoint...

Perhaps stopping all messages for drones that lost link (or everything except link loss) would be nice. Now sometimes when you turn off a drone you get spammed to death, while there is little use of messages when there is no link
