simulator depth + and -

Post by edhowarth »

It's no big deal, but I find it wrong that to increase the depth on the simulator, I press -1m, and to decrease the depth I press +1m. I'm sure it wasn't this way around on my old Mk2. I can appreciate why it's this way round, but it still doesn't seem right (:P)

Surface = 0m
1 meter depth = -1m
2 meter depth = -2m
and so on...

Well, the depth shown on the display will stay without a leading minus sign. I agree that "-1" can be understood as "decrease depth" i.e going up, as well as (putting emphasis on the minus sign) going down. In the next firmware version, there will be a up and a down arrow instead of +/-1m. Hopefully everyone will then agree that an arrow pointing down means going deeper und vice versa... :-)
