Oceanic Nat Track Feature

Hi All,

 

I have been using Euroscope faithfully since the first public release and consequently have stopped using VRC. The problem I have now is that I have forgotten much of the commands in VRC and frankly would rather stay with ES.

 

I am starting to train on Oceanic and VRC has a neat feature that I would like to see ES have, downloading current NAT tracks and auto display them on the screen. Do you think this would be a possible update for ES?

 

As an INS in CZQM/CZQX I am having my students learn using ES only. Unfortunately, they have to read the VRC manual and do a test on it, but once p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]ed, they only use ES.

Thanks for the great program and all the work you are putting into it.

 

Hopefully the NAT track feature can be added.

It's already in discussion, including a new radar mode for oceanic/non-radar control. Once the details are settled, it will be added to Mantis.

Why are students forced to learn one specific radar client? If they want to use ES, they shouldn't be forced to learn VRC. The two programs are different enough that is seems like a waste of time to have to learn VRC if you are going to use ES for actual controlling.

Do you mean the Eurotest? It is not supposed to show ANY questions related to ATC software....but I can confirm that it does
