STAR/TRANS Display in Lists

Good morning Gentlemen,

 

When working as a TMA controller, arriving traffic has the STAR field preselected with a STAR appropriate for the runway specified in your runway configuration, however this is confusing when coordinating with a CTR or other APP.

 

Wouldn't it make more sense to have the STAR show blank like the STS field (PUSH/TAX/DEPA) and only become active and selected when a pervious controller has cleared someone for the STAR or TRANS or oneself selecting a STAR/TRANS, e.g. Euroscope reading from the amended Flightplan if it contains, say XAMOD23/23L ?

 

If this has been suggested before, I apologize, I'd appreciate being pointed to the relevant thread.

 

Cheers

Adam

I would also support this

 

Only cleared items should be in there, so it is a good thing to require user interaction there.

Same for runways + SIDs, please.

 

For events, I was helping myself with adapting the .ese file so that no automatic match to runway/STAR would occur, but I guess this is a general aim for most of us.

Also one request for STARs - I wish we could [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ign a STAR to whichever active runway... On small regional airports we have usually in use both directions of runway at the same time, so one aircraft gets STAR to rwy 10, the second one gets rwy 28 STAR.

 

And the same for SIDs - we sometimes use rwy 24 for jets deparature and rwy 13 for prop deparature, so it would be nice

 

Thx,

You can do this by chaning the runway [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ignment field, it's a workaround but it's doable. Otherwise I suppose it should be possible to write a plugin that checks the aircraft type (or final waypoint for north/south points) and then [Mod - Happy Thoughts]igns a STAR accordingly. There seems to me like there are some variables though so I'm not sure it would work but who knows, maybe it could be done
