Post your scope!

[Callum McLoughlin]

Hi folks, just wondering what sort of "setups" they have for their control scopes. Here are the two I personally use:

Not connected, but there wouldn't be any traffic anyway. This is my scope for GSO.

VRC forum youll find lots of very cool shots of other setups.

 

this is my Miami setup, Clearance -> Approach. actually for clearance i usually zoom out to the entire ARTCC to see all the airways, etc.. 2 Windows open are Miami and FLL. the cl[Mod - Happy Thoughts] D's, majority have the same runway layout as miami or FLL, so not much to miss with those. unless theyre packed with traffic (very rare) then i wont have those open.

Euroscope view of EGLL (Heathrow)

 

Left View : Ground situation at Heathrow

 

Middle View: Approach view, showing 2 aircraft under LL_ APP controller

 

Right view:

 

Hold program for the major holds into EGLL, one aircraft has had hold instructions given and is showing as descending in the hold,

also the arrival list, inbound and outbound list for traffic into and out of EGLL,

also showing a flight strip for the aircraft highlighted.

Hey Callum!

 

I like your EGCC_GND sector file. Where did you get it? It's much less cluttered than the one I am using, and I like the orientation. So much better for single monitor use.

[Matt Booker]

I use both Euroscope and VRC but below is my VRC setup for Cardiff and Bristol...

I'm pilot only, but have always wanted to ask how ATC sees us, and what it looks like.

 

Cool stuff, keep them coming!

Euroscope on two screens. Third screen is just for the Lists.

Hey Andrew, i like your setup. Is VSCS is the same thing as COMM panel? and what are those red, blue, etc. are?

[Colm Fitzgerald 1037650]

Here's mine

It's a Sam Richardson special. It should be released by Christmas

[Andrew Doubleday]

Thanks!

 

The VSCS emulates the COMM panel in VRC. The red/yellow/blue buttons are override/landline/monitor features, respectively, for the various positions. This system works especially well with the two sound cards. Pilots in the earpiece, coordination over the speakers or vice-versa.

Ah, okay thanks

Here you go with my Euroscope Scope, showing Maastricht Radar.

 

 

That's a scattered playground, I am only controlling the areas with a black background!

M98 - Minneapolis TRACON. ACD setup (ARTS Color Display) using STARS mode radar

 

Single monitor 1440x900 setup with ground view windows at each of the towered fields in the M98 airspace (KSTP St. Paul Downtown, KFCM Flying Cloud, KANE Anoka Co, and KMIC Minneapolis Crystal)

Hi all,

 

My setup for a normal screen is a little bit more colorful than the default Matias, but looks similar:

 

But I have some, probably more interesting screenshots too. The next example is the built-in arrival manager screen.

The horizontal axe represents the distance in minutes while the vertical axe shows the altitude in feet. The leader line shows the 2 minutes estimation.

 

The next one is a gate allocation screen. Shows the gate allocations for arrivals and departures.

It is fully implemented as plug-in for EuroScope and available as source code.

 

My last example is another plug-in. Also available as source code. The precision approach plug-in. Well at least something similar

[Scott Johnston 890281]

That's pretty slick, Gergely.

[David Saunders 818672]

i really like the gate allocation screen, this will be invaluable at the larger airfields

[Matthew Iselin 1061577]

Here's what I see on the scope:

 

One 22 inch monitor attached to my 1440x900 laptop screen.

[Sebastien Bartosz]

What you see here is my TWR setup. What you happen to see here is LFPG-Paris Charles de Gaulle

http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/8116/lfpgtwrnv2.png

 

Here is my setup for APP. The airport you see here is LFMN-Nice/Côte d'Azur http://img229.imageshack.us/img229/1513/lfmnappoj2.png You just happen to see the STAR's for that particular airport (Yellow lines).

(By the way, I'll be controlling LFMN_APP tonight 16/12/08 at 1930Z-2130Z)

 

Here is my setup for CTR. The one you see here is LFFF_CTR Paris Control

http://img385.imageshack.us/img385/8264/lfffctruc7.png

 

And finally, my Oceanic setup. You see Gander OCA CZQX on the left. Shanwick EGGX on the right. New York bottom left, and Santa Maria bottom right.

I dont understand these radars...how do you even know what everything is???

 

Could somebody plz explain?

[Owen Catherwood 903683]

It's a real world (or real world style) US approach radar video map. It depicts markers, off-field NDBs and VORs, position splits, ILS and non-precision approaches, obstructions, possibly some minor airports without public approaches, and intersections. There is typically a second map holding just the minimum vectoring altitudes, and sometimes maps with just RNAV approaches.

The less the clutter on your screen, the more relaxing your work

[Sebastien Bartosz]

I think it's quite complicated, and I dont know how you guys do it! But I'm [Mod - Happy Thoughts]uming you learn how when you're in formation for APP...
