auto-tag

[Jason Helkenberg 913355 0]

Would it be possible to auto-tag aircraft based on the information in the scratchpad? For instance, aircraft departing DFW with an east gate scratchpad of "THO" for THORR would auto-tag to the east departure even if it departed off the west runway. I'm no programmer and not sure what it would require but I'm [Mod - Happy Thoughts]uming would need to be based on what position is open and each position would have its own auto track fixes.

Whenever someone asks me if a feature is possible, my standard reply is that anything is possible given enough time and/or money.

 

If I were going to build in some intelligence into auto-[Mod - Happy Thoughts]igning tracks to controllers, I would want to mirror the real world as much as possible. I'm not exactly sure how it's done in the real STARS system, but I believe it's based on fix pairs in the flight plan. I don't know if it's based on scratch pad like in your suggestion here, but it would essentially be the same thing ... it would be based on a departure gate.

 

Anyway, it would be a fairly substantial update, since it would have to keep track of which sectors are staffed, and be able to deal with consolidation of sectors, etc. I don't see it happening any time soon. Good suggestion, though!

I work in the RW D10 tracon and can ask some of the FE there.

It is based off fix pairs. Handoffs and auto-tracks are built off of those.

Does this also apply for QU Reroute command in vERAM? Let me grab my checkbook for Tea Party

Sorry, I don't accept checks ... cash or flight simulator parts are acceptable forms of payment.
