Creating sectors

It will be good

 

Todor, I reread ES Guide and cant find how to create always active sector. If this real, can you help me and explaine how to do that?

What exactly do you mean with "always active"? Every sector with you as owner is always active, unless you restrict it to a specific runway configuration.

Niko, as Stephan said, every sector which match your freq. and call sign in the ESE file and you have active position will be set to active. For the area you want, just define it as a sector, give it DISPLAY property, and set the OWNER to the position you want. If the area is active always, just give put every position as a OWNER, in these case in any position you take the area will be lighted.

Stephen, if the buffer zone own to me, I will not see change freq notification and the buffer zone idea will be lossen!

 

Okey. Thanks Todor and Stephen. I think thats my idea with buffer zone notification is unreal. So, I wiil try to not forgot about it.

What you could do is, have the sector borders displayed when you and the next sector are online, even though it might be not the borderline of your sector. That would at least be some visual reference for the buffer zone, but it would not work with UNICOM.

Thanks Stephen for idea!

But I think it will be only line. I can made it in SIDs or STARs section or in GEO and it is no differencies with sectorline. It's dont create for me a notification.

VATDRC is thinking about it. But i'm not that a hero with programming and stuff. So maybe if some help would be provided i could do some ESE files for DRC.

Robin,

 

Do not hesitate to ask question. Someone will surely help as I see from the previous posts.

> .rcenter

Use this command to override the default range center position. The range position is claculated in EuroScope as follows: The default value is the one defined in the sectorfile.

 

Hi guys. Can anyone tell me how does definition of 'range center' look like in sct? This is sth I've never used before...

 

Cheers! Marcin D.

Marcin,

 

There is no way to define the visibility range in the sectorfile. You have to do that in the connect dialog before connecting.

Than I don't understand part of ES wiki I've quoted above

Marcin, in the sct there is now visibility range, but there is a center for the sector which is a default, look for something like this

 

[iNFO]

BULGARIA AIRAC 0807

LBSR_CTR

LBSF

N042.30.00.000

E024.00.00.000

600

440

-2.6

10

 

".rcenter" changes that default sector center with coordinates N042.30.00.000 E024.00.00.000

So all you have to do is change these coordinates

Now it's clear. Thx. I am sure I will not find these in my sector, but I will add lines shortly

One more question of technical nature. Is it possible to refresh sector without restarting ES or opening new radar screen?

[Stephan Boerner 945550 0]

Sure, just reload the sectorfile

Sure, just reload the sectorfile

 

I expected sth quicker CHoosing sct from menu again doesnt really take less time than launching application again Some hotkey would be useful for sct designers

[Gergely Csernak 904331 0]

Marcin,

 

I do not think that a hotkey will make it much faster. To clean up the memory and then rebuild all information from the SCT/ESE pair takes time. Especially if your SCT is big enough.
