Sky Dolly v0.12 - Introducing Locations
Sky Dolly v0.12 has just been released, read the announcement.
This release brings the software architecture a huge step towards „the final picture“, by also implementing the modules - so far the Logbook and the Formation modules - as plugins.
One feature which was ever so obvious was on my mind from the beginning: „teleportation“ or „get to a place, pronto“. But I wanted to do it right, with the proper plugin architecture in place. And so, finally…
Locations
This new module lets you capture, manage and teleport to locations. Each location may have additional attributes such as category, country, identifier and description.
Santos Dumont (SBRJ) Approach
Sky Dolly comes with a set of default („system“) locations, among them a challenging approach to Santos Dumont, Rio de Janeiro, based on real-world flight Azul Brazilian Airlines 4205 on July 25 2022.
Simply:
- Select the Locations module
- Double-click on the desired location ID (or push the Teleport button
and you are immediately (give or take your internet download speed / cache settings) at the desired location!
Here is some footage that I shot earlier this year of the approach to Santos Dumont:
Happy flying!
