Ken Greim Posted December 9, 2022 at 05:21 PM Posted December 9, 2022 at 05:21 PM Hi, For KZAK, we're working on a small script that fetches the current SIGMETs and creates a new XML map depicting applicable SIGMETs; the idea being that a controller working that airspace would run the script before launching vatSys. We've got it working as described, but one issue is that SIGMETs might expire during a controller's session. A few questions: Am I right that maps are loaded only at startup, so any changes to the XML while vatSys is running would have no effect? This seems to be the case from my testing. Is there any way to edit the maps via the plugin interface? I looked through the code of the example plugins I could find but they seemed limited customizing data labels and other scope elements, not the base maps. Thanks!

Jake Saw Posted December 10, 2022 at 05:43 AM Posted December 10, 2022 at 05:43 AM Hi Ken Yes maps from xml are only loaded at startup. Changing maps via the plugins is unsupported (it is actually possible, but hacky). Better to wait for vatSysServer when I'll support it properly.
