2017 VATSpy Update Suggestion Thread

[Dren Ahmeti 1348902]

Good evening!

Simple request, changing the ICAO of LYPR to BKPR in the VATSpy configuration, BKPR has been since AIRAC 0711, BKPR is the valid airport code at this current time.

Done!

[Adrian Bjerke]

Norway sector is still not correct.

ENOR is supposed to look like this: https://gyazo.com/f37411c3df4a57f34a0c1ee73a7f7879 but it does not appear at all

 

Our files can still be found here http://www.vnas.net/download/vatspy

Corrected, thanks for the report!

Fixed the other sectors as well? Those are not visible either. (ENOS, ENSV, ENBD)

[Christoph Reule 1379750]

Yes. I missed to add the appropriate link to the sector shape in the VATSpy.dat file.

Great, possible that we can get the quick fix so we actully can use the new files?

[Krister Larsen]

Bremen Radar (EDBB_APP) does`nt show up on VAT-spy, I think it did before I installed your update

A new update will be available soon, but most probably not before April 14.

Added for the next dataset update (see above).

And one thing too ESOS is also covering ESMM FIR when ESMM is offline. Right now it is displayed that ESOS is not covering ESMM.

Changed.

Can you perhaps provide some information about the current status of ESAA (Sweden FIR)? Is there an active ATC position for it (like ESAA_CTR)?

[Ryan Savara 1369362]

Lately I've been getting a notification that VATSpy has stopped working when I launch it, resulting in Windows trying to find a solution, then telling me to just close it. It takes a couple more tried to actually get it running.

 

I haven't had the issue before, nothing has changed on my machine. I have been launching VATSpy from command line in a custom bat file I've made, however I made sure to change I to the VATSpy install directory. The issue described above has always occurred when launching it from the start menu, which is what confuses me.

This is not the right area to post this. This thread is for ATC info/border updates. Try creating a topic in this subforum.

I`m not sure, but as I think ESAA is the common FIR for both ESOS and ESMM. But to the question, no, no active positions for ESAA

 

You can check with Martin Loxbo (FIR Director in Sweden) to confirm the information

Hi Christoph

 

Thank you so much for your continued hard work. It really is much appreciated by a lot of people.

 

I've noticed that the area sectors for the London (EGTT) and Scottish (EGPX) FIRs need updating. Here is a URL that should be of some use to you:

 

https://vatsim.uk/area-sectors/

 

I think that this might be your biggest challenge yet!

 

 

Cheers

Ryan

 

Hi Ryan,

 

thanks for providing the graphical sector overview.

 

Do you know where to get the sector coordinates from?

[Christoph Reule 1379750]

https://github.com/VATSIM-UK/UK-Sector-File/tree/master/Sectors

 

Unfortunately not what I need, they contain definitions for EuroScope that I cannot [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ociate with the graphical overview provided on the VATSIM UK website (I'm sorry, I do not have EuroScope installed on my computer).

 

Any other source (AIP etc.)?

[Christoph Reule 1379750]

Hi Christoph

 

Try this:

Cheers

Ryan

 

Thanks for providing the link to the official AIP.

 

However, I see many, many CTA's in there... please don't get me wrong, but I won't have the time to try every single one of them to see how to "recreate" the needed sectors for London & Scottish Controls...

 

Any chance to contact your local FIR chiefs to get the exact sector coordinates (I need at least LON_W, LON_N, LON_C, LON_S and SCO_E, SCO_WD)?

[Christoph Reule 1379750]

I could achieve some results in updating the UK airspace... will keep you informed...

[Henry Weber]

As some countries have all their airports included in VATSPY I thought that maybe you could also add some more in finland:

EFLP|Lappeenranta|61.044765|28.145645||EFES|0

EFET|Enontekio|68.361050|23.421602||EFES|0

EFKM|Kemijarvi|66.712641|27.156841||EFES|0

EFHV|Hyvinkaa|60.654349|24.881139||EFES|0

EFSI|Seinajoki|62.690767|22.835530||EFES|0

And EFPE (Pello)aswell as EFIL (Ilmajoki) can be removed, they dont exist and I dont know why they added them in the first place.

 

For Estonia you should add

EEEI|Amari AB|59.259439|24.203654||EETT|0

Its a military base.

 

And something for Switzerland:

LSMD|Dubendorf|47.398711|8.647284||LSAS|0

LSME|Emmen|47.090827|8.303364||LSAS|0

LSZR|St. Gallen–Altenrhein|47.485105|9.560275||LSAS|0

LSZS|Samedan|46.534418|9.884063||LSAS|0

LSZG|Grenchen|47.181778|7.417617||LSAS|0

Some of the small-medium airports of switzerland that were forgotten

 

In Norway you may add this little airfield:

ENSA|Svea|77.895925|16.721660||ENOB|0

And please remove ENBJ and ENHO, they both dont exist?

 

Thanks once again!

[Anders Moen]

And please remove ENBJ and ENHO, they both dont exist?

Both of these exists..

Full list of airports/heliports in Norway in AIP Norway GEN 2.4

[Christoph Reule 1379750]

That's great. I've requested the coordinates from a colleague and as soon as I get them, I'll send them to you.

 

 

Please send me the coordinates as soon as you get them so I can "fine-tune" the sector shapes.

[Christoph Reule 1379750]

@ Henry:

 

Requests processed. Will be available in the next dataset update.

 

@ Anders:

 

Thanks for the additional information regarding ENBJ & ENHO.

[quote="Christoph Reule 1379750

 

This is good however if your going to show the Scottish sectors you should display all four main sectors (East, West, Rathlin & Deancross).

Also how about showing the Dublin TMA?

[Christoph Reule 1379750]

Hi Matthew,

 

Dublin TMA is already included (next release).

 

I only found coordinates for E and WD sectors so far, and these are the ones shown on the VATSIM UK area sectors chart.

 

Do you have coordinates for the Rathlin & Deancross sectors?

[Javier Escandarani]

Hey mate!

Here in Argentina there are 4 TMA's that aren't being shown because their callsign ends with _CTR and they are not in the firboundaries.dat. I do have their coords, I could send them to you. I tried to do it by myself but I failed and they are really important cause people don't know that those controllers are connected.

Thank you so much!
