Distance Calculator plugin for EDMC

This plugin displays the distance to up to three points you can freely specify. The distance is updated after each FSD jump.

Installation

1. On EDMC's Plugins settings tab press the Open button. This reveals the plugins folder where EDMC looks for plugins.
2. Download the latest release.
3. Open the .zip archive that you downloaded and move the DistanceCalc folder contained inside into the plugins folder.

You will need to re-start EDMC for it to notice the new plugin.

Usage

You can add up to three systems or points in the settings. Non valid entries (e.g. x, y or z is empty) won't be stored when you close the settings. It is possible to clear an entire row by pressing the Clear button. The EDSM button fills in the coordinates for a system providing the system name can be found on EDSM. Once at least one system/point has been added in the settings, the main window shows the distance from your current location to those systems/points in light years.

Further more it is possible to display the travelled distance. The plugin uses the distance provided by the journal files for the calculation. The total distance is stored and is available even when the program is closed. Uncheck the option if you don't want to your jumps added to it. This also causes it to be hidden from the main window. To reset it, press the button underneath it. The travelled distance for the current session has two available options:

• Calculate it for the current EDSM session: Add distances as long as EDSM runs
• Calculate it for the current Elite Session: Add distances as long as you don't load into Elite or close EDSM
