Martijn Rammeloo Posted July 2, 2015 at 08:52 AM Posted July 2, 2015 at 08:52 AM I am a TWR controller at EHAM. EHAM is a busy airfield, and especially during events, it is not unusual to have 20+ aircraft parked at their respective gates. At the moment a pilot contacts me, I sometimes have some trouble finding the plane on my scope, in particular when I also have GND duty, since the plane could be ‘anywhere’. Of course, I can locate the plane with the .find command, but in my opinion this is a bit comebersome. Therefore, I would like to have a ‘auto-.find’ feature: whenever I click on a callsign in the (for example) departure list, a box should appear around the TAG of the plane in question for a (user configurable?) number of seconds. I understand this option already exists in more advanced radar modes, but not in the radar mode my vACC uses for TWR and below.

Jonas Kuster Posted July 4, 2015 at 08:22 PM Posted July 4, 2015 at 08:22 PM So far I know, upon selecting an aircraft in any list, the tag gets a frame around to make to aircraft easier to find on the scope, and this independant from the radar mode. So this is actually the faster way than type .find and the AC name. Perhaps you can provide us a screenshot how your scope looks like and if this frame around selected aircraft is missing?

Magnus Meese Posted July 5, 2015 at 09:52 PM Posted July 5, 2015 at 09:52 PM Highlighting / active frame depends largely on the custom scope, radar mode and tag setup which usually varies from vACC to vACC. However, unless a plugin that overrides the native ES functions in this regard is being used, it would be relatively simple to change this in the tag setup if needed.

Martijn Rammeloo Posted July 10, 2015 at 08:52 AM Author Posted July 10, 2015 at 08:52 AM @Jonas: here's a screenshot, me being a TWR controller. As you can see, I had selected 'KLM19B' in the departure list. Unfortunately, no 'box' around the TAG. I must add that I selected the 'Show rectangle over ASEL' option in General Settings/TAG display options. @Magnus: I am pretty sure there is a simple solution, but I simply can't find it after spending quite a bit of time in 'symbology settings' and the 'TAG editor'.

Pierre Ferran Posted July 10, 2015 at 05:24 PM Posted July 10, 2015 at 05:24 PM I think this is supposed to work, but bugged in this version of EuroScope, see: viewtopic.php?f=71&t=68154 vSMR Plugin for EuroScope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
