OHM WatchdogMFD

[OrbitHangar]

Author: fredericva

This MFD aims to make the life of orbiter multitaskers a bit easier. It enables you to watch a variety of parameters (current MJD, PeT of any vessel, ApT of any vessel, Altitude of any vessel, and a generic countdown timer) automatically, and displays a message, resets time acceleration to 1x, and optionally pauses the simulation when a programmed event occurs.

All entry fields except the MJD entry understand the k and M suffixes.

It is roughly based on WakeupMFD, which is no longer actively maintained, and has less functionality.

Active watchpoints are automatically saved in the current and quicksaved scenarios, and are recalled upon loading.

 

UPDATE: v1.1 fixes the CTD when pressing delete with no watchpoints defined.

Thank You! This will make interplanetary flights much easier by taking the worry out of overshooting. I was just thinking that WakeupMFD needed to be redone a couple days ago - and here it is!

An awesome idea, very handy, and well executed :thumbup:. Easier to program than your VCR

Very minor nit regarding the on the on screen annotation:
1. It is probably a little too big for my liking.
2. I would prefer to see it come up underneath the information display in the top right hand corner.

Very nice MFD! Thanks much, this should make life much simpler.

pressing the mfd DEL button with no watchpoint set causes CTD

You're right. I'll release a fix ASAP.

UPDATE:
Fixed version uploaded to OH.

Nice MFD !

It would be nice if the watchpoints weren't deleted, after they "fire".

Not that there is a lot of fields to define, but I might want to repeatedly use a PET watchdog.

The MFD doesn't seem to fire at x1000 compression when it is displayed in an ExtMFD window and tuned to an ApT event.
