Can groups of labels be given names?

Good evening!

 

I wonder, is there any way to [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ign a name to a specific group of labels in EuroScope? For example, I know that EuroScope recognizes "REGIONNAME"; is there something similar for labels?

Sorry, maybe I should rephrase my question a bit

 

I have a .sct2 file from VRC, and it has some entries in the [LABELS] section. EuroScope appears to treat all of the entries in the [LABELS] section as a single free text entry with the name "SCT2". Is there a way that I can change the name from "SCT2" to something else, and is there a way for me to group the [LABELS] entries, so they can appear as different free text entries?

Instead of using the lebels in the .SCT file, find the entry called freetext in the .ESE file and then put your entries in there, if i understand what you want to appear.

 

for example

 

[FREETEXT]

;EGBB

N052.39.19.645:W002.00.33.887:Airspace Bases:3500'

 

 

Lat : Long : Description to appear in freetext drop down : what you want to appear

 

N052.39.19.645 : W002.00.33.887 : EGBB Airspace Bases : 3500'

Hi David,

 

Yup, that's definitely right, and I actually do that for alot of text stuff. However, there are some things in our VRC .sct2 file that are stored as [LABELS]. I would like to keep them (those [LABELS] entries) there (in the .sct2 file; because VRC controllers use them), and would like them to be known by some appropriate name in EuroScope (the reason why I submitted this topic), and I would like to keep the number of differences between the VRC & EuroScope sector files as small as possible.
