Hi!

 

1- When opening the TAG editor, it would be nice to have already selected the active TAG family in the menu, instead of "Bulgarian SATCAS".

 

2- Would it be possible to have another Tag Item type called "Ground speed (2 digit)", where ground speed is displayed, without a leading N in this way: 15 instead of N153, or 46 instead of N468. Hope it's clear.

 

3- Would it be possible to have, for every Tag Item type a flag which, when selected and when one variable is empty, to instead fill it with a space.

Example:

BAW456

154^M34

 

callsign

Altitude-vertical speed indicator-wake turbulence category-ground speed in 2 digits.

I'd need, if the aircraft is levelled, to see:

BAW456

150 M34

 

4- In the Departure List, would it be possible to change the status PUSH with the start up? IMHO, start up mean a lot more in ATC than the pushback.

 

5- The ability to specify, for a departure or an arrival, two sids/stars, maybe two columns: SID - TRA for departures, and TRA- STAR for arrivals.

 

6- History dots for squawk standby aircraft.

 

7- Different radar position symbols, as per my previous topic below.

 

8- In the Metars window where only wind and QNH are shown, is it possible to see in the "change" colour only the item changed? I mean, if wind is VRB03KT Q1013 and suddenly the metar changes, and 02008KT Q1013 is shown, only the new wind is in different colour and not the qnh since it didn't change.

 

 

 

Edit: more points

Edit2: added point 8

Red over white, you're all right.

1. has already been requested but I'm not sure if it's already registered.

 

3. Did You try the "Need separator before" Checkbox?

 

4. Disagree on this one. Maybe an aditional startup, even though I don't really think it would be needed. But Push is the more important one for online controlling. The only startup we simulate is the one which is in 99% of cases given with clearance or pushback.

 

8. What if anything not displayed was changed?

3. Did You try the "Need separator before" Checkbox?

 

If I put the "need separator before" checkbox on, it will always draw a space. What I need is to see an arrow when the aircraft is climbing/descending, and to see a space when the aircraft is levelled. I think the quickest way is to let the arrow (optional checkbox) be a separator when the aircraft is levelled.

 

BAW456

154^M34

 

BAW456

150 M34

Who cares when you approve the start up, the clue is that that plane is started up, so it's active. Pushback does not mean really much in atc (except apron management).

 

8. What if anything not displayed was changed?

 

A different colour for the icao code, but it's not a big issue since when you load more than 2-3 metars you can't see the rest of the weather report.

Red over white, you're all right.

1 - discussed, not registered in Mantis, yet.

2 - isn't that in the ES already? I have to check it again, but I have seen in it in the TAG Editor. (will check it tonight)

3 - It is already requested by me a long time ago.

4 - I do agree we have to have 5 choices:

- blank (reset)

- Start-up

- Start/Push

- Taxi

- Departure

5 - 7 - talked about them

8 - I think it will take some coding to split every METAR string to it's components and test them for reference if any thing is changed. Do you need it so much? And if let say you have a TEMP..you don't see that in the short METAR, so you still have to look at the full one, and what element should then be coloured?

Can't see it...

every METAR string seems to be already splitted, otherwise you couldn't be able to see wind ad qnh there together

TEMP?

Actually, I still have to find a way to see a complete Metar in ES when more than 2-3 stations are loaded, so no need to display those changes.

 

ICAO colour change: rest of the metar changed (visibility, clouds, precipitations...)

Wind colour change: wind has changed

QNH colour change: qnh has changed

 

Well, I need it because when I control, I'm there to separate planes, not to learn by heart every QNH or wind In the radar display I use, QNH changes appear red for 10 secs.

Red over white, you're all right.

It's there "Two letter Ground speed" at the end of the list in the Tag Editor

Looking forward to the other requests

 

Thank you

with the Ground status, i like what is there, BUT would like 1 more if possible : so the list will look like below

 

CLRA - Clearance Given, just shows who has had a clearance and who is waiting, good for when do top down cover

 

PUSH - as stated this usually means they have already started or are about to with the push

 

TAXI - like it says

 

DEPA - like it says

1, ok back again with a question reference the PUSH / TAXI etc, how do you get rid of it, say for example the aircraft has departed then crashes and reappears back at the gate, it stills say DEPA, can we have one of those options of --- to reset it,

 

 

2, next question, can you adjust the DSQ or is this automatically set by the pc, I would like to be able to change it if possible

1. not yet, but I think this has already been requested

 

2. you can change it by resetting DEP, so if You set A=1 and B=2, but B reaches the holdingpoint first, you can reset A to taxi and back to DEP, and then the order should change.

thanks Stephan,

 

still learning ES, and have tried to read all the post on the forums, the manual back to front, but everyday i am finding new stuff and i like it more and more daily, but this means finding out what i cant do, so dont shout at me when i may ask a stupid question, i like to try out new stuff to find out how i can maximize the way i handle it and get it to work for me.

Ok next request,

 

On the departure list, can you add the est departure time, this could then be used similar to a slot time, just saves open the flightplan to see there est departure time, i know not all pilots enter the info when flying, but this would be good to get them to start and useful for a sequencing.

This is a great idea and would also allow controllers to enter start times for sequencing.

 

I think going to the earlier point of changing Takeoff order, it would be nice to have an option to change the order by clicking on the number.

What about starting new threads for new requests?

...otherwise I think mine will never be implemented...

Sorry Luca i thought that this was a good place to put request without starting multiple threads,

Starting multiple threads is much better if you try to keep track of the requests and problems
