I really love the addition of Ping Viewer Next, I do however find one small issue with it in Cockpit. When it is set to 360 degree scan, the buttons arrayed around the scope align nicely, when changing to a different scan sector angle it makes a pigs ear of the alignment. Examples:
I believe you are one of the first users trying it on field, besides our internal testers
Ping Viewer Next has actually received a major UI update that has not been pushed yet. Most if not all of those issues were solved. @patrickelectric will have more info on that!
I am now running 1.0.0beta26, and the new UI is far better. The still have an issue with transparency in cockpit.. Every time I open cockpit, the ping viewer next plugin is fully solid, I then change the transparency so I may have some situational awareness of that area of the camera, then when I re-open cockpit, the transparency is set to solid again.
It seems this is a known issue - thanks for re-flagging it
As a workaround it should be possible to right click the widget while in Edit Mode, and change the transparency there instead. It should be persistent after a few seconds (for Cockpit to sync the settings update).
The workaround idea was to use the opacity slider in the right click context menu (which exists for all widgets), not the one in the widget’s main configuration options.
I was told that was working in a testing discussion yesterday, but I’ve just confirmed it’s actually not, which @rafael.lehmkuhl also found in his pull request to fix the issue properly.
Fix should be merged in the next couple of days, and I suspect there’ll be a new beta out next week or the one after
