Adjacent sectors

Please excuse my ignorance as I am new to this program. When working a sector and an adjacent sector comes online that new sector should show up as being an active sector and the COP sector line illuminate. Is this behaviour determined by the sector file or ESE file or a combination of both? I am [Mod - Happy Thoughts]uming that the sector file just displays the different control areas pictorially with the ESE file determining hierarchy and ownership and to cause an inactive sector to illuminate when it becomes active. Am I on the right track here?

I have not seen this behaviour, wonder what setting I have wrong.

Well, it's most likely a problem within the ESE file and not with your settings, but without knowing what ESE you are using, that is really hard to say

It could also be that you've missed the line. I didn't notice until yesterday there's a diffrence between the standard line and the active hand-off line (the hand-off line is just a little bit thicker, that's the only diffrence in my setup).

 

Try and start a simulator server and see what happens when you start and stop simulating diffrent adjacent sectors (that's how I noticed the diffrence anyhow )

Johan,

What works for you may not work for others, as you are refering to the Symbology setup, not the actual ESE contents.

 

Else, note that a wrong callsign or frequency in the POSITIONS segment may also cause wrong visual border behaviour, as well as errors within SECTOR and SECTORLINE.

Very true, I was just trying to say that it might be working, just that it's really hard to notice (because of the symbology settings). Sorry if I was a bit unclear, but I think you get my point?
