Firstly, VRC is a standalone program. It does not require FS to be running.

 

Secondly, make your range rings larger, that will fit them into your Screen.

thanks for your reply but it doesn't really help -- no matter how big i arrange my rings my sector files are nowhere near my rings. if i scroll right out my sector files are in the bottom left of my screen and rings in the top right. thanks again for your advice.

Hi Paul,

 

you can centre your sector file to the centre of your screen by double left clicking where you want the centre spot to be, at least I think it's double left mouse button. I don't have VRC open at the minute.

But I do know that you can drag the sector file around using left mouse button.

 

 

As for connecting FS to VRC, I would recommend reading the VRC manual about "Tower View". You will need to modify one of the aircraft on your FS, but I downloaded a program called "ATC Tower Viewer", I think I got it from a website like avsim, I'm not entirely sure which one, but it should come up on a google search I [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ume. This saved me editing one of my aircraft on FS.

 

Goodluck and all the best.

Regards,

I started to tell you about the multiple ways you can recenter your scope and your range rings, but then I realized that I've already written all this before ... it's called the docomeentation. You might be amazed at what you find:

.rings VOR

.rings NDB

.rings WPT

 

Replace VOR/NDB/WPT with the VOR, NDB or Waypoint name you wish to use as the centre of your range rings.

Ask someone in the same region where you are controlling for help. They'll know the sector files you're using and can tell you what to do.
