Adam Roate 1388768 Posted October 30, 2017 at 03:37 PM Posted October 30, 2017 at 03:37 PM Ross - I hope you read this one! Our ARTCC (ZAU) is in the process of a complete SCT2 file re-write. O'Hare was/is constantly "turned on" when the sector file loads. In our previous sector file, so the smaller airports (cl[Mod - Happy Thoughts] C/D) would be invisible unless needed, all of the airports except KORD were drawn as paths only (no regions polygons except for KORD), and could be turned on and off as a subsection in the [sTARS] diagrams. Now in the new file, I want to use [REGIONS] data for the smaller airports, but it seems I cannot create a nested [REGIONS] in the in subsections of the smaller airports. Therefore, all regions are turned on at all times. Any suggestions for a work-around? Adam Russell ZAU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1275389 Posted October 30, 2017 at 03:41 PM Posted October 30, 2017 at 03:41 PM Regions can only be turned on or off, nothing in between. With that said, you could make multiple files for a tower/TRACON setup, and additionally split those up for vSTARS ASDE-X implementation. Personally, I would only have regions for airports with ASDE-X, then just an outline for everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Roate 1388768 Posted October 30, 2017 at 03:57 PM Author Posted October 30, 2017 at 03:57 PM (edited) I completely agree, but now at least 4 of the airports in ZAU have ASDE-X in use. Exploring multiple sector files is a good thought though. Thank you! Edited October 31, 2017 at 12:32 PM by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
