Colour Blind!
We have a pilot that made a request last night .... is it possible to have a shape, line, cross etc in the coloured button/lights that show aircraft in use and or pilots status. The pilot concerned is colour blind and the buttons appear all as greyish. A different shape in each coloured button/light would help for quicker recognition!
Cheers!

Re: Colour Blind!
Sounds reasonable. Maybe a green circle should mean a flight/aircraft is available, a red X should denote a booked flight/aircraft or an aircraft in maintenence, and a yellow triangle should show a flight in progress.
Re: Colour Blind!
Correct me if i am wrong but if you hover your mouse over the circle it will tell you if that plane is available......
Re: Colour Blind!
Quite correct, but with the benefit of full colour vision most of us can see at a glance aircraft which are booked etc. It would be a pain in the butt to have to mouse over every aircrafts status button to check it's status. I'm sure DK will come up with something, A simple X across each button that isn't green will be a good visual clue to see which aircraft aren't available for booking.lexarne wrote:Correct me if i am wrong but if you hover your mouse over the circle it will tell you if that plane is available......

Re: Colour Blind!
I added some symbols to the dots. Please let me know if your color blind fellow can recognize it or if I have to make the symbols a bit brighter...

Re: Colour Blind!
I'm somewhat red-green color deficient. The white does make it more distinguishable, However a brighter white would be even better.
Re: Colour Blind!
