ES not recognizing ARTCC LOW section in sectorfile

[Rob Killins 897126]

I'm hoping someone is able to provide some advice ...

 

I'm coding a sector file (.sct2) and having a hard time. I'm unable to get Euroscope to recognize my [ARTCC LOW] section.

Not sure what I can do to show you all, the section is quite large to cut and paste in this post, but I will include a sample. If what I post doesn't help isolate the problem, perhaps someone can post some common pitfalls that could explain.

What I don't understand is what are you trying to do. You want to make as Region or ARTCC LOW section? Because the format is different

[Rob Killins 897126]

An ARTCC LOW section in the sectorfile, similar to the [ARTCC HIGH] or [ARTCC] sections of a sectorfile.

is name (MJ_MTCA_07), start and end co-ordinates of line section, color (4227200)

 

Note, the "..." are just to substitute for reams of additional lines and are not part of the actual dataset ... for purposes of presentation only.

[Todor Atanasov 878664]

I'm not sure you can have a colour in [ARTCC] [ARTCC HIGH] and [ARTTC LOW] section, the colour is set from inside the client. That's why I said the format is wrong.

Hi Todor,

 

OH boy, I'm ashamed to post the resolution as it's one of the most basic concepts of Euroscope going for it. Results can be expected if you actually load the sector file you're testing! Yes... my bad ... I wasn't testing the sectorfile I was building. Duh.

 

So ... as an added bonus, we have learned that you are able to include a colour value in the coding of ATRCC sections.

 

Thanks Todor ...
