Sebastien Bartosz Posted August 12, 2009 at 01:08 PM Posted August 12, 2009 at 01:08 PM A question of interest. Coming from a place that has a sector file literally overflowing with data, I keep cracking my head every time I log on, on how to organize it better and have as *little* stuff turned on there as possible...Yet people here seem obsessed with having almost every possible type of a list and whatnot turned on. I have to wonder, do you REALLY need all that stuff? No, they don't !

I have to wonder, do you REALLY need all that stuff? I think you have to make a difference between list and information in the sectorfile. I have almost all information in the sectorfile disabled (including VORs, NDBs, FIXes, etc.), but the lists can provide the important data filtered and centralized on one place.

Instead, I use .ff [fix name here] and only display the ones that I need. VORs & VOR labels on, airport graphics, and high ARTCC boundaries is all I use on Center.

Eric Bocaneanu 906549 Posted September 14, 2009 at 07:07 PM Posted September 14, 2009 at 07:07 PM Using EuroScope with ROMATSA Alenia plugin by Todor and sector files built by myself, Berat Arslan and Ionut Constantin. Here's Bucharest ACC, Bucharest TMA, and some Bucharest-Otopeni Tower cab shots: First arrival flow at Bucharest ACC via TEGRI LAMIT TUSET (notice the custom SCL, FHI and popup windows) Bucharest TMA orderly arrival flow with few departures (exists via NILOV) entry via TUSET). Notice the prohibited airspace over Bucharest LR P1 of a different color (just as the real Alenia Radar). Otopeni Tower with tower view. ATIS on 118.5 maintained by this position fully automated, including full audio via this console. Departure flow at Otopeni Ground Control. Thirteen aircraft on the ground with two more aircraft on final. Checking the TMA radar for traffic on final. Seems we are able to depart the MAH858 currently on Delta: "Enter, backtrack and lineup runway 26L, traffic at 9 miles for runway 26L." Notice the traffic turning on final as strobe lights seen outside to the southwest of the runway. Bucharest ACC later needs to use Mach restriction technique to maintain separation between descending aircraft inbound TUSET. Bucharest TMA unnecessary holding at STJ due to unidentified aircraft flying in Bucharest TMA. Three turning on final. 26L runway shortened due to WIP.

Jan Tore Elvheim Posted September 16, 2009 at 07:37 PM Posted September 16, 2009 at 07:37 PM Wonderful Eric, now I have to get a new keyboard because of all the drooling I have done Cant wait untill the new ES version is out, have to work on my ground sectors and will do my best to try learn making plugins to simulate NATCON(the norwegian style) and my special project will be to try making something for ENGM tower, some real world screens: The real EFS"bay" at ENGM, hopefully this will be possible to simulate? and the ground radar: Sorry for mixing real pictures in to the tread, but Im in heaven, all the screens you are posting of the "new" ES, keep them coming!

Andrew Doubleday Posted October 27, 2009 at 06:52 AM Posted October 27, 2009 at 06:52 AM (edited) In addition to the SCT configuration found in this thread back on page 3 (viewtopic.php?f=7&t=35766&p=284879&hilit=SoCal+TRACON+Combined+#p284879), I figured I'd add in the L30 and ZLA scope I created: L30 Scope (Lower Monitor) - Vegas in Config 1 (normal ops) with the video map: Information Display (Upper Monitor): ZLA Scope (Lower Monitor) - Bit cluttered looking as high airways were briefly enabled and zoomed out a bit to capture the whole sector: Information Display (Upper Monitor): I prefer a bit of a more blueish background for the DSR colors, but as far as I know everything is fairly accurate to DSR color-wise. The L30 scope is in STARS mode with visibility centered on the LAS ASR9 radar site (no traffic on that one, sorry). While digging on google one night, I found a great website that has the locations of ASR radars for the United States current as of this past August so I could plug the coordinates into the sector files as a fix for centering visibility points while controlling (enhances the realism experience just that much more hehee). I noticed some of you were asking about the VSCS earlier (sorry for missing that, haven't checked this thread in a while). Peter Sagar developed the program that essentially replaces the comms panel in VRC. I find the functions really nice on it and it makes coordination via the landline a breeze. The only thing I'd like to pick up now is a touch-screen to use that with. You can pick up this program from his forum here: http://ggcomms.freeforums.org/ (his site is temporarily down, I believe). I also use a USB footswitch that emulates the left-control key (my PTT through VRC) so I can use that along with the H31 St[Mod - Happy Thoughts]t. Great pick-up off ebay that I can use at school and the house.

Earl Miller Posted October 29, 2009 at 11:50 PM Posted October 29, 2009 at 11:50 PM RyanSee what we mean about .sct, .sct2 and ese files. Just that alone can blow your brain and have you wringing your hands in despair, Wycliffe I'm not sure some one cleared this or not. Just change the name of your VRC .POF (position file) to .ESE. Example: VRC Sector file name is ZLC-111.sct Just rename your .POF to ZLC-111.ese. Start up Euroscope and load the ZLC-111.sct file. The .ese file will load with it. You only load the .sct file. Some things may have to be adjusted a little to work perfect in Euroscope but it will get you off and running. Study the guide on How To. You'll love the program and never look back once you get comfortable. It was real easy for me to make the transition to ES. Earl Earl Miller ZLC_ARTCC / MTN073 Euroscope Development Team.
