Ross Carlson Posted September 29, 2006 at 01:28 AM Posted September 29, 2006 at 01:28 AM Nowhere on the VRC site ... sector files come from the web site for the region where you will be controlling.

Mark Hyder 907089 Posted September 29, 2006 at 01:38 AM Author Posted September 29, 2006 at 01:38 AM I am using VRC. In the PDF file it said I can download sector files from Vatsim.net I am using Region/Division Europe - United Kingdom On the PDF file Download the radar map for the area you want to observe. These maps are known as sector files, and are available on the websites of the individual VATSIM divisions (see the links on the right hand column of www.vatsim.net). The UK sector files can be found at www.vatsimuk. org on the Downloads page. The UK area file covers the whole of the UK and can be found in Downloads>sector files>CTR-TMA. You may also want to download a more detailed file for particular airports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Hyder 907089 Posted September 29, 2006 at 01:45 AM Author Posted September 29, 2006 at 01:45 AM I think I found it now. Sorry I am new to this a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Chase 974571 Posted September 29, 2006 at 02:05 AM Posted September 29, 2006 at 02:05 AM Most Sector Files can be found in the FIR/Region website. It may also be a good idea to get a more than one airport, so if you grow weary of a certain airport, you can just load another one! (As long as you can control there!)

You may also want to download a more detailed file for particular airports. The answer is in the quote you've posted - go to the website of the division you want to control in - and you can find the link to that in the right hand column of the front page at www.vatsim.net There's a typo in the UK URL which I hadn't spotted before but will get corrected - the direct link is www.vatsim-uk.org (which actually now redirects to www.vatsim-uk.co.uk) Ruth VATGOV7 Ruth McTighe Heathrow Director, Essex Radar, Thames Radar, London Information [Mod - Happy Thoughts]t webmistress CIX VFR Club http://www.cixvfrclub.org.uk/ Webmistress Plan-G http://www.tasoftware.co.uk/ Now not a VATanything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opher Ben Peretz 882232 Posted March 15, 2007 at 03:07 PM Posted March 15, 2007 at 03:07 PM That would depend on what you want to do. If you want to watch the whole control area, you need a CTR file. If you plan to control, you will typically be using the files in the order you wrote, from top to bottom in your list, specifically ground and tower. More specific information will be given by the people who train you. Prior to observing, it is advisable to follow Vatsim guidance and necessary radar client manual chapters.

Ruth McTighe 824054 Posted March 19, 2007 at 12:06 AM Posted March 19, 2007 at 12:06 AM If you want to observe in the UK, I'd suggest downloading the UK area file from CTR-TMA. Later if you want to watch specific airports in more detail, you can download the appropriate TWR or APP file.
