After 10 years with no updates, I have finally updated VAT-Spy. It now downloads the data files from the VAT-Spy Data Project web site on GitHub. It will automatically download any new files posted to that site.

Here's the full change log:

  • VAT-Spy now pulls data from new VATSIM JSON data feed
  • Added automatic updating of the VAT-Spy application
  • Added automatic updating of the VAT-Spy data files from the VAT-Spy Data Project on GitHub
  • Zooming using the mouse wheel now zooms towards or away from the mouse cursor
  • Removed broken Simroutes.com links
  • Set data refresh rate at 1 minute
  • Removed the option to change the data refresh rate

Note that if you have customized your data files to have anything that is not present in the data files found on the VAT-Spy Data Project web site, then those files will get overwritten with the official data files from that site when you first run v1.1.0-beta.3. If you don't want to use the official files, you can go into the VAT-Spy settings and disable downloading of the official data files. You can then restore the backup of your customized files, and they won't get overwritten by VAT-Spy when new versions are posted to the GitHub site.

Please remember that this version is still considered to be in the beta testing phase. There will likely be bugs and crashes. Please post here any feedback or bug reports here in this forum.

**RUSHED TO REPORT IT**

CAUSE: If you install over existing vatspy you have to remove the %appdata% vatspy folder.

Thanks.

After installation (update over existing version), i am getting this:

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Hey Elias, try uninstalling VATSPY, then going to the %AppData% folder, delete VATSPY's folder and install it again.

Just wondering if this behaviour is normal...? It's showing up the ATISes as OBS, and the controller name is not there

Hi Ross, 

Nice to see you again on board with this update. Highly welcome. 

I could only ask, if it's possible to add the support for middle char in the ATC login? 

Like now, the Vatspy does not recognize the difference between EPWW_CTR and EPWW_N_CTR, and many FIRs/vaccs are trying to implement a different showing of their ACC sectors to make it easier for pilots recognizing what is the AoR. 

  • Thanks 2

If you upgraded on an existing vatspy installation, check that you remove this directory before installing: %appdata%\VAT-Spy

Yes, that's normal. The new data feed that VAT-Spy uses now does not have that information.

If someone were to take on the task of collecting all the possible callsigns and the lat/lon boundaries for their specific sectors, I will add it to VAT-Spy. I think it would be a huge maintenance hassle, myself.

Thanks.

After installation (update over existing version), i am getting this:

 

Elias, are you able to reproduce this error? I made a change in Beta 4 that should provide better debugging information in the exception report. If you are able to cause that crash again, please do so, and post the exception details again.

Hongye, please download Beta 4 and try again. I don't think the bug will be fixed, but the exception details should provide me with a more accurate location in the source code. So please download Beta 4, and post the crash report again. Thanks for the help.

Not a bug at all, but is there a future plan to increase the rendering resolution? Fonts are really pixelated and ugly, especially on larger screens. Glad to see you back developing the project!

If someone were to take on the task of collecting all the possible callsigns and the lat/lon boundaries for their specific sectors, I will add it to VAT-Spy. I think it would be a huge maintenance hassle, myself.

Hey Ross, a lot of them are already included, Langen (Germany) is a good example. Both subsectors EDGG-E and EDGG-P are in the data, but vatspy does not look at anything that comes after EDGG, so when either EDGG_E_CTR or EDGG_P_CTR is online, only the overlayed sector EDGG is highlighted.

A good solution might be: first check if there is an exact match for a callsign in the firboundaries + vatspy.dat, if not: use the old method to determine what sector should be highlighted.

Hongye, please download Beta 4 and try again. I don't think the bug will be fixed, but the exception details should provide me with a more accurate location in the source code. So please download Beta 4, and post the crash report again. Thanks for the help.

Hey! thanks for update! Error log is here Vat-Spy new beta not working - VAT-Spy - VATSIM Community

Does VATSpy.dat only identifies FIR by 2 first letters? It creates an issue over Kaliningrad FIR, using same first 2 letters as Minsk FIR, while Kaliningrad is Russian, Minsk is Belarusian.

Already many of the FIRs did that: look ad EDWW, EGTT, EGPX, LFFF. If the middle char is not recognized/no middle char in logon - then just assign to entire FIR, that would be possible.

Regarding parsing the middle portion of the callsign, have a look at this thread for more details on my thinking on the topic:
