Auto adsb on, auto radar alerts

[fatbaldmen]

Currently with online ADSB, we need to enter in the command line the ADSB provider and add a value for radar alerts to enabled both.

Would it be possible to have, or implement these settings within the menu of mwptools for simps such as myself. I think the vast majority of users would benefit from this.

Just a simple ADSB "on or off" drop down menu. And a menu selection with a dialog box to enter the radar alert values

I am not nerdy enough to suggest how this could be done, or give any input further than this. I appreciate all you do sir. 🍻

it would not be excessive effort to implement something fairly simple that would enumerate extant definitions from cmdopts (or the command line) and present a UI to enable / disable the same (and audio alerts), e.g.

Where the state of the sources would be read from cmdopts and the audible alert state would only be switchable where there there were extant settings enabling the same.

So the above could have been generated from cmdopts

# Default options for mwp

It won't absolve the user from setting up their preferred sources.

A bit better ...

Had some issues with running this in the latest snapshot. Mwptools would load, but nothing would appear, no maps, no widgets, no menu. Just a blank application. I've been busy this week, but on the weekend I will try this again. Windows 10 pro
