Torben Andersen Posted November 9, 2019 at 12:30 PM Posted November 9, 2019 at 12:30 PM Hello I've downloaded vStrips and it seems to be working. However, customize the program to accomodate a specific airport is not described anywhere. Is there a wiki or is the development of the program dead? regards Torben Torben Andersen, VACC-SCA Controller (C1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chriss Klosowski Posted November 13, 2019 at 07:31 AM Posted November 13, 2019 at 07:31 AM There should be docomeentation to customize the program in the folder where its installed if I remember correctly?

Torben Andersen Posted November 15, 2019 at 09:24 AM Author Posted November 15, 2019 at 09:24 AM Hi, looking at the youtube video ( ) 4:17 min this popup window for EGLL is not standard AFAIK, so something similar should be made for the airport(s) I usually work at (Denmark). But how its done - I have no idea. regards Torben Torben Andersen, VACC-SCA Controller (C1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torben Andersen Posted November 19, 2019 at 03:26 PM Author Posted November 19, 2019 at 03:26 PM Found an extra directory made by vStrips in my Docomeents folder. Have now found a way to create bmp-files for stands and HoldingPoints and the corresponding .txt files. I can see that when using vStrips the lists in Euroscope are being updated for some parts. But in the TopSky plugin I get Rwy Incursion flags, even when I move the strip from Holding to Runway. So updating would be nice, but no developper is at hand apparently.

Bjoern Helge Smaavollan Posted November 19, 2019 at 07:11 PM Posted November 19, 2019 at 07:11 PM I reached out to the developers for getting things up to speed with Gardermoen, but they were to busy with other airports at the time. As I understood then it wasn't as simple as just editing the text files but there was also some hardcoding to be done. As I understand from VATUK forums, one or more of the developers has been suspended from the Network, and as such the plugin is more or less dead. Can still be used, but no further developing. BTW it is more or less a requirement that all controllers in the same area use it otherwise it may/will overwrite scratchpad info for others and such. Just a friendly warning.

Torben Andersen Posted November 20, 2019 at 08:33 AM Author Posted November 20, 2019 at 08:33 AM Hi Bjoern Thanks for the warning . Haven't seen any issue as of yet of such a problem. It would be nice if strips were added via Euroscope or TopSky. A lot of development has been focused on the radar client and its visual appearence, but less on other aspects of the ATC 'environment'. regards Torben Torben Andersen, VACC-SCA Controller (C1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
