Hello VATSIM users,  I had experience during last session a strange issue on ES. I found a lot of flights which was appeared costaintely on SQUAWK IDENT permanently active also if these pilot wasn't instructed to do it or if they had activated the IDENT option without instruction. Someone could tell me which could be the reason of this issues? It wasn't significantly annoying, but it could be if my sector could start to be very crowded.

Sounds more like a pilot client issue than a Euroscope issue. I haven't experienced anything like that at least.

A link to a specific spot would have been preferred. You want me to look through all your videos to see it?

I forgot to reply to this post on July because few days after my last post, I started the holidays. This is basically the issue. I see a lot of flight like they are doing the IDENT procedure on the radar, but I never ask to them to do it. VIDEOCLIP

If someone will see the clip and will be able to solve the issue, thanks in advance!

Can you show us the Symbology Settings for the aircraft correlated symbols?

Seeing the video, I could not realize which tags are in squawk ident. Maybe this is a sector file problem or the .ESE file. Are you the only one who has experienced this issue or this is a common issue? Also check the symbology settings if all settings are ok.

So TRA538 and the DLH closer to LIMM-EDMM Border are basically the normal setting for a correlated with SSR and PSR. All others visible with the same dot but with an additional cross are the traffic which appear like they have sent the IDENT.

I do not know why it is happening. I suggest you to contact your vACC staff in order to sort this problem out. I do not know if this is a sector file problem or just a wrong setting.

I will try with default sectofile. My sectorfile use some additional features which aren't applied on default sector of my vACC. I will write here it it will work well with the default sct.

Hello Pablo,

I just made now a test. Seems that with default sectorfile it work without problem. Is weird. I will try to check all single steps that I made to modify it.

@Andrea MazzoniMaybe it is an issue in your Symbology settings. Can you show us on symbology settings the different symbols for the radar tracks?

I am glad to hear that Andrea! As Bernardo said, check your symbology setting, and your general settings in order to find out what is causing this problem. Let us know any news.

Best regards.

If possible to make the tag flash for a few seconds after IDENT, it will be more convenient for ATC to find aircraft. Especially in heavy traffic time!

Probably the former developer of this label, not anymore an active user (or still registered) has made this mistake. Is absurd because CDS2000 computer use the cross just for IDENT impulse!
