Ross Carlson Posted January 7, 2009 at 04:07 PM Posted January 7, 2009 at 04:07 PM Sure, they need to be added to the sector file like any other part of the diagram.

Brian Fuller 973577 Posted January 7, 2009 at 04:09 PM Author Posted January 7, 2009 at 04:09 PM Is there any type of "how-to" guide in regards to sector files? Sure, they need to be added to the sector file like any other part of the diagram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hodge Jr 961044 Posted January 7, 2009 at 04:34 PM Posted January 7, 2009 at 04:34 PM Brian, There is this which was made for pro controller, but it is still relevent for the .sct files http://www.vatsim.net/pcmanual/page20.html Then there is this straght from the VRC docomeentation on adding the additions for the .sct2 format: http://www.metacraft.com/VRC/docs/doc.php?page=appendix_f I don't know if this will help or not, hopefully it does. -Mike Michael D.

Brian Fuller 973577 Posted January 7, 2009 at 05:50 PM Author Posted January 7, 2009 at 05:50 PM Any easy way to copy Lat/Lon on where my mouse is over to the clipboard? I have it displayed now and am writing it down, but would be easy if I could copy them to clipboard to paste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fuller 973577 Posted January 7, 2009 at 07:29 PM Author Posted January 7, 2009 at 07:29 PM Yep, that is my goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Heaney 879309 Posted January 7, 2009 at 07:47 PM Posted January 7, 2009 at 07:47 PM Go to ZBW's website and download the sector file package for VRC. Look in the G90 Sector file, you can see how I added the taxiway designations using VRC's Static Text feature, allowing you to turn them on and off. That's what I'd reccomend doing, as for getting the coordinates, you can use the mouseover feature in VRC, or use the Sector File Editor by the Swiss FIR???? (Not positive on that one, and enter them manually, then transfer that data to show as Static Text, rather than Fixes. If you need more help, PM me.

Brian Fuller 973577 Posted January 7, 2009 at 07:53 PM Author Posted January 7, 2009 at 07:53 PM Yep, using the [Labels] key now, its just a pain getting the coords setup. I'll see if I can find that editor. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benton Wilmes Posted January 7, 2009 at 09:33 PM Posted January 7, 2009 at 09:33 PM What I do for this is use the Debug mode in VRC to get the center point (that cross up on the screen) then turn on the mouse coordinates (since that is the format for the coordinates that the sector file uses). Then I just put notepad (or whatever you want to use for your text editor) right at the edge of that middle cross on VRC. So when I take move my mouse across the screen and over the cross, it will stop right at the cross since the mouse goes into notepad. Then just type in the coordinates that VRC shows...works like a charm! There is an art . . . to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.

Brian Fuller 973577 Posted January 7, 2009 at 10:00 PM Author Posted January 7, 2009 at 10:00 PM Pretty neat idea. I was able to find that sector editor, and it will paste the coords in a box for you. So you can just copy/paste right out of that box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhruv Kalra Posted January 8, 2009 at 01:44 AM Posted January 8, 2009 at 01:44 AM If you hold down the Ctrl, Alt, and Shift keys, and then double-click your RIGHT mouse button once you have your cursor at the point you need, VRC copies the current mouse coordinates to the clipboard.

Ross Carlson Posted January 8, 2009 at 06:00 AM Posted January 8, 2009 at 06:00 AM I could hug you. If you hold down the Ctrl, Alt, and Shift keys, and then double-click your RIGHT mouse button once you have your cursor at the point you need, VRC copies the current mouse coordinates to the clipboard. Note that you can switch the format of the copied coordinates using the same configuration setting that controls the display of the coordinates on the screen. (Under general settings.)

Brian Fuller 973577 Posted January 8, 2009 at 06:11 AM Author Posted January 8, 2009 at 06:11 AM Thanks You should add that hotkey to your docs, unless I totally missed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I thought I had ... but I'm not seeing it now. So if it is in there somewhere, it's not easy to find.
