JMARS release 5.7.4
JMARS version 5.7.4 improves the Landing Layer with custom site sizes and smoother rotation, along with clearer navigation and fixes in the Add Layer Dialog.
What’s New in JMARS
This release improves the Landing Layer with custom site sizes and smoother rotation, along with clearer navigation and fixes in the Add Layer Dialog.
Landing Layer Improvements
This release gives you more control over landing site sizes and makes rotating sites easier.
- Create and save custom site sizes: Add new landing site sizes in the Display Focus Panel and restore them in future sessions.
- Customize size selection: View all default site sizes and choose which sizes are available when scrolling the mouse wheel in Add mode.
- Rotate sites directly on the map: Use the mouse wheel to change the angle of a selected landing site in the main map view.
- Smoother rotation: Improved responsiveness when rotating sites quickly.
- More reliable restoration: Fixed an issue affecting the site table when restoring very large landing sites.
Other UI Updates
The Add Layer Dialog includes several improvements:
- Clearer layer locations: Browse tab entries now show the correct path, and maps available directly from map servers are more clearly identified.
- Improved map loading: Only numeric map sources are loaded for plotting, fixing an issue affecting some colorized maps.
