A problem I have found... when LFUP_CTR is online it is showing as EURW only covering all France. Probably if LFUP_CTR appears before Eurocontrol it will work. But only when EURW is not online.

 

If EURW is online and LFUP isn't then the airspace will be shown correctly but EURW will show as covering LPPC+LECM+LECB and it will show LFUP covering the rest.

 

This means that there is not direct solution for overlapping FIRs except order them from smaller to bigger (LFUP before EUR). This applies for the Italy upper airspace as well.

Also for VA updates, you've added some entries as new entries in the new 2010 section that were already there from previous updates. So the updates don't work for airline codes that were already there...

 

Otherwise, great job!

Hi, Miguel,

for LFUP to work properly, you could declare it before the EUC sectors in the servinfo.dat file. Thats what we did, and that's when it worked fine. But when EURW is open (and LFUP is closed) it shows LFUP and EURW online, and when you put your mouse over LFUP, nothing happens. Same thing for LIUP / EURS I would suppose..

 

I think the best solution would be to declare LFUP (and LIUP) as FIR's.

 

Anders, what do you think ?

If you found a solution, would a "mini update" be possible?

 

Thanks,

 

 

EDIT: Same problem for LFFM France Military (as it has the same definitions as LFUP).

[Miguel Frias 0]

Same thing happens for subsectors of Spain:

 

LECM_C_CTR overlapping LECS_CTR (Sevilla Control)

LECB_N_CTR overlaping LECL_CTR (Valencia) and LECP_CTR (Palma Control)

 

When these overlapping FIRs are online they show as covering the whole FIR.

Hi

 

How do I update VATSPY with the update?

 

Thanks Jason

[Rahul Parkar 0]

Jason,

 

You don't, This update is for the program ServInfo only... You can get that at AVSIM by searching for ServInfo

[Ross Carlson 129]

Anders, your original request for data mentioned that you would be providing the files for VAT-Spy as well. Is that still the plan? Let me know, and I can update the VAT-Spy installer.

 

Thanks very much for doing this work!

New guy....ServInfo.dat; fir.dat and ServInfo installation folder do not exsist on my comp. How can I update this upgrade or am I missing the obvious?

You need to install the original first.

Then, what's he do with the .rar file?

[James Stephen 931389 0]

Extract the 4 files in the update .rar and copy them over to the Servinfo folder and overwrite.

[Ken Bonnett 920717 0]

Four files? I see only one! Extract them with what application?

 

Problem solved. I couldn't see the four files inside the .rar file when using WinZip. I used 7-Zip File Manager. Everything's installed!

Thanks mate, good as Vatspy still hasn't updated the new sectors (and as you say significant changes have been made)

 

Greetings,

Are there anyone with a bit more insight into vatspy out there who can help me out modifying the servinfo update for vatspy?

 

I've completed the FIRBoundaries.dat file, how ever one entry in the VATSpy.dat file is causing me trouble, no matter what I do it keeps giving me "Invalid field count in Airports section line 2059".

 

Anyone out there who can help out?

Paste that section of the file and I'll see if I can spot the issue.

Lines 2058 - 2060 looks like

 

ESGL|Lidkoping|+058.465278|+013.174444|ESGL|ESAA

ESKK|Karlskoga|+059.344444|+014.494722|ESKK|ESAA

ESKV|Arvika|+059.675000|+012.639444|ESKV|ESAA

 

 

The intresting thing is that even when I removed line 2059 and inserted the entry below instead the same error still occurs

[Ross Carlson 129]

ESGL|Lidkoping|+058.465278|+013.174444|ESGL|ESAA

ESKK|Karlskoga|+059.344444|+014.494722|ESKK|ESAA

ESKV|Arvika|+059.675000|+012.639444|ESKV|ESAA

 

Have a look at the existing entries in the file. They have a zero or a one at the end. That field indicates whether or not the airport is a "pseudo-airport" used for showing APP positions with a specific name. (Such as "CAPE_APP" which is centered on KACK ... which looks like this in the file: "KAC1|Cape|41.253053|-70.060181|CAPE|KZBW|1". Most entries should just have a zero at the end of the line.)

[Johan Grauers 0]

Still doesn't like me, now it gives me the same error for line 2060, but line 2060 already has |0 in the end...

 

I feel slightly confused
