Description
If would be convenient to have automatic terrain file loading when gps fix is aquired.
I´m aware that most of the pilots that use the software would be loading one single terrain file all the time. Still, the software is also used for training and testing purposes along with a flight simulator software called condorsoaring, so if you start a task on a server, you would need to pre-configure the software every time in order to load the right terrain file.

This might be a good idea, but there are negative points about this too...
What for example if you have overlapping terrain files and the gps data shows that you are in both files. Which file should be chosen?!
Nice thoughts anyway, thanks for the idea!
My idea based on yours would be this:
If location is on terrain -> everything stays Else If location is not on terrain && terrain switching enabled -> search for suitable terrain files If none found -> everything stays Else If more than one found -> display dialog with valid files to choose switch terrain or cancel Else If one found -> If automatic switching enabled -> switch terrain Else -> display dialog "do you want to switch to 'terrainBla.xcm'?" switch terrain or cancel
