The altitude bar never turns red (w/ solution)

Post by Getafix »

When the altitude bar goes under 75%, it turns yellow and stays yellow till crash. My source code is v1.71 (built 1537).

To fix this alter the drawAltitudeBar method in HeadUpDisplay.m file
from

Code: Select all

// draw altitude bar
if (alt < .75) GLColorWithOverallAlpha(yellow_color, overallAlpha);
else if (alt < .25) GLColorWithOverallAlpha(red_color, overallAlpha);
else if ((flash)&&(alt < .10)) GLColorWithOverallAlpha(redplus_color, overallAlpha);
else GLColorWithOverallAlpha(green_color, overallAlpha);
to

Code: Select all

// draw altitude bar
if ((flash)&&(alt < .10)) GLColorWithOverallAlpha(redplus_color, overallAlpha);
else if (alt < .25) GLColorWithOverallAlpha(red_color, overallAlpha);
else if (alt < .75) GLColorWithOverallAlpha(yellow_color, overallAlpha);
else GLColorWithOverallAlpha(green_color, overallAlpha);
Many thanks to another_commander who has observed it.

Fix has hit trunk. That's the bug report style I like. Less work for us :-)
