1275389 Posted February 18, 2017 at 08:09 PM Posted February 18, 2017 at 08:09 PM It seems that quicklook just doesn't function as intended. I was quicklooking a sector last night and it would only show aircraft's full data block when they were handed off from one sector. Also, when unquicklooking a sector, all the aircraft continued to show full data blocks (maybe this is how it works?). Are you required to use the same/very similar POFs in order for quicklook to work properly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted February 18, 2017 at 10:48 PM Posted February 18, 2017 at 10:48 PM What do you mean by "one sector"? Please be very specific with bug reports.

1275389 Posted February 19, 2017 at 12:18 AM Author Posted February 19, 2017 at 12:18 AM An aircraft was handed off from SFO_B_APP (2B) to SFO_W_APP (2W). Another aircraft was handed off from SFO_N_APP (2N) to 2W. I was quicklooking 2W. Aircraft handed off from 2N had full datablocks while aircraft handed off from 2B had limited datablocks.

Ross Carlson Posted February 19, 2017 at 12:23 AM Posted February 19, 2017 at 12:23 AM I'm sure there is an explanation ... I didn't change anything as far as quicklook goes in the beta version. Quicklook has been the way it is since the initial release. Are you saying this is a new issue or could you maybe just not have noticed it in the past?

I will do some testing tonight. Does having the same/different POF affect anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted February 19, 2017 at 02:23 AM Posted February 19, 2017 at 02:23 AM No, only your POF comes into play. Developer: vPilot, VRC, vSTARS, vERAM, VAT-Spy Senior Controller, Boston Virtual ARTCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1275389 Posted February 19, 2017 at 08:27 AM Author Posted February 19, 2017 at 08:27 AM It seems that quicklook just doesn't function as intended. I was quicklooking a sector last night and it would only show aircraft's full data block when they were handed off from one sector. This worked as intended when I tested it tonight, I don't know why it didn't work last night. It seems that once you quicklook a sector, all those aircraft will continue to always have full data blocks, even if the aircraft's track is dropped, the aircraft is handed off, or if you stop quicklooking the sector. I don't know if this is the intended function, but that is what is happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhruv Kalra Posted February 20, 2017 at 11:21 PM Posted February 20, 2017 at 11:21 PM I've noticed this as well where Quick Look will intermittently not display full datablocks for the quick-looked position. We noticed it quite prominently during our last MSP event (using vSTARS 1.0) where an unused scope we used for livestreaming the TRACON was quicklooking both final positions (1N and 1S), but we had to manually force full datablocks periodically. Unfortunately the twitch video has expired and isn't available anymore. I'll try and reproduce as well as get you screenshots/video supporting this.

Ross Carlson Posted February 20, 2017 at 11:27 PM Posted February 20, 2017 at 11:27 PM Try to think about what else those tracks have in common ... such as, were they previously tracked by the quicklooked sector, or by a non-quicklooked sector, or were they departures from a primary or satellite airport, etc. Developer: vPilot, VRC, vSTARS, vERAM, VAT-Spy Senior Controller, Boston Virtual ARTCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
