Continuing on the dispatches ...
There will be 7 of them, grouping many of the plants. You can now see the groupings by going to the "dispatches" table on the APP web page.
I think the "viewing tips" are going to work fine for this for the float planes. This should make it a lot more fun for them. Without the viewing tips, the float plane people will see very little of the work that has gone into APP. But the way we have done them, they can fly to the location, then step out of the plane and slew around following the viewing tip instructions, then they are put back int the float plane where they left it (we always take them back). Then they continue the flight. For the purists among us (those not beer-driven-to-insanity-at-Misty's-Place-bar) ... they can ignore the viewing tips and just fly the dispatch.
Klaus's directions for the helicopters will be very different for these dispatches. He can demonstrate all the things without the viewing tips and give a very good "how to" fly these from a helicopter point of view. So they are very different for a reason.
People will be able to "print" the dispatch. I put in a "test" one on PPD-01 ... there is a new "print" button at the top. Selecting it gives you a PDF to print. I'm going to put these in later because we want to spell-check and edit all of the dispatches (and the whole page) before I do these. But the concept works fine.
What's Next ...
Steve is working on a penstock solution (the slanted penstocks disappeared), Thomas is working on a couple of new starts for us and the movement of the Cable Station into Dorothy Lake ... (we think). I'll be finishing up the next two dispatches for the float planes. Klaus is working on the dispatches for the helicopters.
