What you can do with EuroScope PlugIn Environment

[Todor Atanasov 878664 0]

Once the core is ready, the interface can be anything. I did it like the Garex VCSS 220 because that is what I use at work. But the project is postpone for the late October, due some real life engagements.

Hi Todor,

 

Is there any updated information on this awesome work in progress on display?

[Todor Atanasov 878664 0]

As for the SATCAS Plugin, it is ready, but will be released with the new release of ES, as it needs some bug fixes that were fixed in the latest beta.

As for the GVCCS I didn't have much time to work on it due some real life activities, but it will be finished.

[Brendan Chen 943434 0]

So this will be released as a ES plugin in the nearest future? As a plugin running 'inside' ES, or a standalone application? I looks very interesting!

 

Another plugin I would love to have is something like this:

 

That would be an awesome plugin to have, but given the fact we are not looking out the window of a control tower (especially for controllers who don't have FS), having this although will be cool, but it might make controlling difficult? As we need to interchange between displays...

Todor, a request to you about the GVCCS. Can you do so the user can select a keyboard button to quickly answer and end a call?

[Todor Atanasov 878664 0]

Nope you don't need ES, this was created even before ES was created, and is working quite well

[Todor Atanasov 878664 0]

No, but I could be done as public.

Any further news on SATCAS?

[Todor Atanasov 878664 0]

Well the Plugin is closed beta, as it needs the newest ES beta, so before the official ES release it can't be used.

But you can see the project that will be released after the holidays

 

After it, the AWOS will be released (this is a screenshot of the dev phase)

[Neil Farrington 0]

Sounds good

[Even Rognlien 0]

Nice! Can't wait! Btw, is it possible to get the raw METAR displayed below the weather information in AWOS? That could be useful.. And.. is QHN correct? Not QNH?

 

And another question; do we have to forward our router ports to use the GVCCS, like the euroscope groundcall?

[Todor Atanasov 878664 0]

Ohhh, typo

Yes the METAR will be displayed in AWOS.

 

As for the GVCCS, no you will not, it uses Skype, as the idea behind it was to byp[Mod - Happy Thoughts] the p2p connection of all VATSIM ATC's clients, plus it has some features already build in as transfer, hold, conference call and is simulating a land line, what the intercom is .

[Johan Grauers 0]

Can you design it so that if you transmit on your ATC frequency it does not send on the intercom? That way it will work exactly like to real life ones (in Sweden anyhow).

[Todor Atanasov 878664 0]

Everything is possible

Ok, nice! Does the AWOS support use of more than one active runway?

I would have thought so - under where it says "rwyundef"?

[Todor Atanasov 878664 0]

For now it uses one set of runway (90-27, or 12/30). If someone show me a picture of AWOS for more then one, I can build it.

What about the one Even posted? viewtopic.php?p=358905#p358905

[Todor Atanasov 878664 0]

What about if you have three? I'll look at the picture, but keep in mind that the wind direction will be the same for all runways, as the METAR is for an Airport

[Neil Farrington 0]

I'm probably looking for a solution before I actually [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ess the problem Good point.

[Werner Rafteseth 0]

Will the plugin run in a window outside of ES? If so, is this only supported with the newest ES beta?

[Todor Atanasov 878664 0]

Both plugins work "outside" of ES. AWOS will work with the present ES, where GVCCS for full functionality will need the next release (you won't be able to set/see the freq in GVCCS, but the main feature, the intercom, will work). Also I'm planing to connect it to VRC also.

Do you think the GVCCS will fit an 8-inch touch-monitor with a resolution of 1024x768? I have been looking at something like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Touch-Screen-Monitor-8-inch-wt-VGA-XGA-PC-DVD-camer-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem4aa702bbd9QQitemZ320629554137QQptZCarQ5fAudioQ5fVideo

[Todor Atanasov 878664 0]

GVCCS is 875x690 fixed size, so it will fit there

[Ross Carlson 131]

The photos say max resolution is 800x600, but the seller's text description says 1024x768. I'd contact the seller and be sure it's actually 1024x768.
