Sebastien Bartosz Posted July 29, 2011 at 02:26 PM Posted July 29, 2011 at 02:26 PM Hello, we've recently modified a sector, and the pof wont [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ign squawks in the defined squawk range. This is the sector not working: LFFF_U_CTR:Paris Control Upper:124.720:98:C:LFFF:CTR:LFFF:CTR:5700:5767 This is an example of a working sector: LFFF_CTR:Paris Control:128.100:66:C:LFFF:CTR:LFFF:CTR:5700:5767 LFMM_CTR:M[Mod - Happy Thoughts]ille Control:126.150:67:C:LFMM:CTR:LFMM:CTR:5600:5637 etc. Any ideas?

Kenneth Haught Posted July 29, 2011 at 04:31 PM Posted July 29, 2011 at 04:31 PM Just made a test with the line you supplied (on sweatbox of course), and it worked perfectly. Some tips to check would be ensure that your connection information is valid for a controller, i.e. a valid control facility type and rating. Also make sure you are primed up with that sector in the Comm box. I would also recommend not using the 5700 squawk...at least in the US anything ending in 00 is a non-discrete beacon code, and not valid for radar services in most environments. (This obviously may not apply to you though. Anchorage Deputy Air Traffic Manager VATSIM Senior Supervisor (Team 1) Have a question or concern? Email me at [email protected].

Sebastien Bartosz Posted July 29, 2011 at 05:33 PM Author Posted July 29, 2011 at 05:33 PM Hi Kenneth, yep I did tests, connected with Center and my rating. Comm box 124.720 PRIM As for the squawks, they are [Mod - Happy Thoughts]igned to us by VATEUD, and we have no jurisdiction on those New York ARTCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastien Bartosz Posted July 29, 2011 at 05:39 PM Author Posted July 29, 2011 at 05:39 PM Hmm, I just did a test. I created a file: test.pof I only inserted LFFF_U_CTR:Paris Control Upper:124.720:98:C:LFFF:CTR:LFFF:CTR:5700:5767 It works..... so maybe something wrong with the way the our current pof is designed in the inside. We use a file called Europe.pof with plenty of positions in them, and to be honest I dont know the origins of this file, we've been using it for years. Maybe its messed up in there somewhere. I'll have to create a new POF, no biggie. Kenneth, would you mind sending me your POF so I can check something? Thanks New York ARTCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily true. While off topic, just wanted to point out only specific 00 codes are non-discrete which are defined in the 7110.65 Section 5-2.

Or did you mean the .pof for our ARTCC? We have a similar breakdown in our ARTCC .pof, and it works as it is supposed to.
