Opening a new thread (follow up from EqMod: unpark only if dome is).
Thanks to dokeeffe for implementing the new function "Scope park aware", much appreciated.
I have some feedback (running the latest of everything Ekos/indi related).
Telescope simulator | CCD simulator | RollOff simulator
RollOff simulator:
clicking on Park/Unpark shows the following messages.
I don't know why there is a reference to the Dome being parked/unparked in this roof simulator.
Could this be removed maybe?
Scope park aware: Disable
Scope park aware: Enable
I'm confused with the above, if I read both messages, the roof is able to close regardless of the mount state as in parked or not.
(spelling mistake in 'damange')
roof "can close / is parkable" are I guess the same thing right?
When I have the "Scope park aware: Enable", roof is unparked (as in open), telescope unparked and slewed to target (as in: you will break your scope if you close the roff now kind of situation). I get the following message and the roof stays open (well according to the simulator)
I repeat the above but with the "Scope park aware: Disable" I get the following message:
(telescope is still slewed to target, dangerous position if you close the roof)
I issue a Roof park and I get the following message:
So right now, I have broken my simulated mount & telescope... ouch... lol
anyway, back to the confusing message from the top, may I suggest the following editing:

Scope park aware is disabled. WARNING: Roof is parkable when telescope state is in unparked or unknown state. Only use this option if parking the roof at any time will not cause damage to any equipment.
Scope park aware is enabled. Roof is parkable when telescope state is parked only.
orScope park aware is enabled. Roof is parkable only if telescope is parked.
