HF - Display VHF alias frequency

[Adrian2k]

So in AFV you can see what VHF frequency is aliased to your HF frequency - this does not seem to be a feature in trackaudio

Same issue in beta3

This is currently not a supported feature, we'd need to look into expanding our implementation of interfacing with the VATSIM audio network before providing this feature.

@pierr3 this would require some sort of change to APISession on afv-native to access the frequencyAlias key on the incoming json from the AFV api as it currently passes through only a string containing the name of the station and an unsigned int containing the frequency from the frequency element on the json. Probably would be worth while just defining a struct and replacing the int with that when returning the std::pair.

I’m not sure the API actually returns the frequency at all for aliases, think we have to match by station name but will check

WIP subject to change: showcasing an idea that I've been playing around with. Hover the frequency to find the alias, or click the alias to flip the persisted frequency around (between HF or VHF), marks paired frequencies with the VHF/HF icon in the top left hand corner of the radio box

Looks so good 😍

Looking great, would suggest it defaults back to HF frequency on leaving the hover zone but otherwise good solution

It does by default show the HF and only on hover the VHF, but the user can click it to switch it around if they desire.

@Adrian2k what is your take on the proposed UI fix above? Do you need both frequencies displayed at all times or is the bottom bar extended info sufficient?

Either one is a good solution in my mind
