Hello, This is a HOWTO on how to use Euroscope and AFV on Linux(UBUNTU 20.04) under wine to help Linux users avoid using a VM. What works: All expected core functionality including most plugins I use(TopSky and Ground Radar) What doesn't work: AFV Bridge, Proxy (client not fed data), Some ALERT messages from TopSky which could be related to the mentioned proxy issue. This requires wine 6, so Install wine stable from the official wine PPA as described here: https://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu Install and, since the repository winetricks is outdated update winetricks with: sudo apt-get install winetricks sudo winetricks --self-update Create a wine bottle and make sure it's configured to Windows 7, no virtual desktop. WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/home/your_username/Wine/vatsim wineboot WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/home/your_username/Wine/vatsim winecfg Install the following additional software with winetricks: dotnet40 dotnet45 dotnet46 dotnet461 dotnet462 dotnet472 dotnet48 iertutil msls31 msxml6 urlmon vcrun2010 vcrun2017 wininet WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/home/your_username/Wine/vatsim winetricks Download Windows binaries. EuroScopeSetup32.msi and the beta EuroScopeBeta32r26.zip from: https://www.euroscope.hu/install/EuroScopeSetup32.msi https://www.euroscope.hu/install/EuroScopeBeta32a26.zip Audio For VATSIM.msi from: https://audio.vatsim.net/docs/2.0/atc/euroscope Install Euroscope and friends into your wine bottle: WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/home/your_username/Wine/vatsim msiexec /i /home/your_username/Downloads/EuroScopeSetup32.msi WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/home/your_username/Wine/vatsim msiexec /i /home/your_username/Downloads/Audio\ For\ VATSIM.msi Extract the Euroscope beta zip file into the wine bottle Program Files folder: unzip -o /home/your_username/Downloads/Audio\ For\ Vatsim.msi -d /home/your_username/Wine/vatsim/drive_c/Program\ Files/EuroScope/ You can now launch Euroscope and AFV (or create a shell script which will do this for you): WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/home/your_username/Wine/vatsim wine start /unix "/home/your_username/Wine/vatsim/drive_c/AudioForVATSIM/AudioForVATSIM.exe" WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/home/your_username/Wine/vatsim wine start /unix /home/your_username/Wine/vatsim/drive_c/Program\ Files/EuroScope/EuroScope.exe Hope this helps. Take care, Semir

I managed to get EuroScope and the AFV Standalone Client fully working on my install of Artix Linux, and found that the way I set it up should work for any distro with wine-devel, wine-mono, and winetricks in their repositories. I've decided to detail how to do so below. They might work on an Intel Mac or an Apple Silicon Mac using Rosetta, but I don't have a Mac, not a MacOS VM to play around with the Native X86 version, let alone using Rosetta to emulate X86 on an Apple Silicon Mac. 1. Install wine, wine-mono, and winetricks from your distribution's repositories. You might have to enable 32-bit support on your system to do so. Check your distribution's documentation/forums for how to do so. 2. Run winetricks from the terminal, select the default prefix, and select Install a Windows component or DLL 3. Install .Net Framework 2.0 SP2, then exit winetricks 4. Download and install the MS .Net Framework 4.0 Runtime Offline Installer* from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet-framework/net40 5. Download and install MS .Net Framework 4.7.2 Runtime Offline Installer* from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet-framework/net472 6. Download and install every X86 and X64 Visual C++ Redistributable** from https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist 7. Reboot 8. Install EuroScope and the AFV Standalone Client, alongside any plugins, controller packs, and/or sector files as required by your division***😎 9. Configure EuroScope and the AFV Standalone Client as you prefer. They should work as if native. Your mileage may vary with this, and it's never guaranteed that it will work. I do not take responsibility for any damage you may do to your install of Linux or to your hardware by following these steps. I just posted these as they worked for me in my case and may help you in your's. *Your mileage may vary, but I have found that these installers work better like this than from using winetricks. **These may not be 100% needed, but I would recommend installing them just in case. ***Bear in mind that the ~/.wine/drive_c/Users/<username>/Documents directory is a symlink to ~/Documents.

Hello ES developer(s), Is there any way that you can lift the 4 runway restiction in scenario files? It would be nice if we can include a lot more runways to work with during ACC simulations. For me it's even enough to leave it out of the scenario editor and only have the option in the raw scenario file if that is easier for you. Thanks for considering, Erik

Hiya, Am getting an interesting issue. I am trying to use .msg to send PDCs (FAA) and am using the following format: An issue I am getting here is the fact that for some reason, clicking "enter" to send the message won't work until I shrink the message and only send around 260 characters, hence I highlighted the first 260 characters in my message in bold. I don't think there's anything wrong specifically with the message because I also tried to shrink the message from the start, and it would only start sending when it reached approximately 260 characters. I also tried to play around with different text combinations, starting from ".msg", and still got the same result. So my question is, is there a character limit on ".msg" and is there any way to resolve this, or am I thinking in the wrong direction? Thanks.

I recently been experiencing some issues with Euroscope which makes it completely unusable for me, the issue occurs when I start to receive audio from AFV it immediately crashes my ES. Tried to reinstall both software nothing seems to be working. Below is my event viewer log Faulting application name: EuroScope.exe, version: 3.2.1.29, time stamp: 0x607aefb8 Faulting module name: MSVCP140.dll, version: 14.29.30040.0, time stamp: 0x60ee396a Exception code: 0xc000041d Fault offset: 0x000157a3 Faulting process id: 0x3c80 Faulting application start time: 0x01d78934f4a53177 Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\EuroScope\EuroScope.exe Faulting module path: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\MSVCP140.dll Report Id: e7088e83-da8b-401d-82e0-4fdac5a31095 Faulting package full name: Faulting package-relative application ID:

Feature Request; Please make a status list for arriving aircraft. Just like having push, taxi, depa for ground, have app(for aircraft on approach but not cleared to land), land(for aircraft cleared to land), etc. for arriving aircraft. It would be great and useful if the devs made this. thanks! Also, if there is a way for me to change the items in the status lists, please tell me how!

So I have 3 radar displays. One for center, 2 airport. Aircrafts on my main airport radar look like this Aircrafts on the radar from the other airport and center look like this. does anybody know how to make the aircrafts on my main one look like the ones on the other 2? In case that was confusing, I basically want my aircrafts to change from this to this (including aircraft tag) Tags start looking like this then when i double click the tag it looks like this and when my mouse hovers over it is looks like this Thanks, Pepijn (congratulations if you understand what i just said haha)

This is a question for anyone who maintains UniATIS formatting for their vACC/Division/etc. My vACC (Kuwait & Iraq) has just switched from vATIS to UniATIS. UniATIS was configured for this vACC by persons unknown to me, years and years ago; and the formats configured for our airports are not ideal, and with the new way ATIS works with AFV, many items are mispronounced. I tried to reach out to UniATIS management at the email address listed on the UniATIS website (https://www.uniatis.net/contact.php) but have had no response. Who should I reach out to, to configure UniATIS for my vACC? Thanks for your time, Matt.

Hi, I downloaded EuroScope, latest Beta version, and all the sector files. But when I open the sector file, nothing shows up. its just a black screen. can somebody help? Thanks!

Hi everyone, I was trying to upgrade to Euroscope Beta from Euroscope Stable, but I have been facing a few issues. Upon starting Euroscope Beta, it crashes straight to desktop. I have gotten the latest Euroscope Beta from the Euroscope Website (v3.2 Beta). I have updated the Visual C++ for x64 and x86 after seeing that as a solution, as I use Windows 10. I use a few plugins, like Holding List, vSMR and Discord Plugin, but have unloaded them multiple times before starting the beta. I am unable to find a log file. The picture below is the screen right before Euroscope crashes. I would really appreciate some help. Thanks, Adhiraaj (I am sorry if there is already a forum post about this, I just couldn't find any up to date.)

Hello Everyone Since I use r25 there is the possibility to use the Start-Up flag "ST-UP" in the departure list. (Same place as "PUSH", "TAXI" and "DEPA") My problem with it is that it is sorting aircraft, receiving the Start-up flag, to a higher priority than aircraft already pushing. Is that intended or just something which has to be resolved? Because when we use it also as coordination between DEL and GND stations, it messes up the sequence in the list. E.g. if DEL cleares the aircraft he sets the clearance flag. Once the pilot then calls for push, DEL set's the Start-up flag in order to visualise to the Apron/GND controller that the aircraft has reported ready. This allows to hand over aircraft by "monitor Apron/GND on xxx.yyy" with a clear sequenced indication to Apron/ground which aircraft is ready and which not. (Without needing to set something in text. --> Text does not sort automatically, but the flag does, which helps.)

Hi, I was wondering if there is anyway to disable the messages sent by the pseudo pilots and controllers. I tried the .busy work around but it doesn't mute the controllers that are on. Any updates that on the forum post made a few years back? Thanks for your time, Rowan Young

If told to line up, or to takeoff if not already on the runway, they disappear. If I taxi them onto the runway and then press takeoff, all works fine. Not a traffic conflict, happens even if only one aircraft is there. Anyone else experienced this or found a fix?

Hello everyone, whenever I want to close the Euroscope Beta, the usual question comes up whether I want to save everything. However, Euroscope does not close after that, but crashes. If I have multiple instances of euroscope, all of them can be closed and saved normally, but never with the main connection. He never saves the changes in this instance. Additional info: It makes no difference whether I was connected to Vatsim or not. The only open instance is the one that never reacts. (Windows: program does not respond -> full crash) Thanks for an answer in advance Paul à Brassard

Repost because the original post is no longer available. EuroSounds is a contemporary update package to replace the original sounds in the Euroscope ATC Client. Each of the high quality, original sounds in the package have been custom engineered in order to make Euroscope feel even more immersive and realistic than ever before. (Yes, including the start-up sound 😃) Like to learn more? View installation instructions and a demo video here.
