Hans Utne 813128 Posted March 24, 2009 at 02:22 PM Posted March 24, 2009 at 02:22 PM Copying a POF-file's contents into the ESE-file, I have found one or two items which are not clear to me. Ref [POSITIONS] section. Field 6 and 7 holds the callsign prefix and suffix respectively. - For sectors being split up into sub-sectors during heavy traffic - event, where you will add a middle letter to indicate relevant sector, where should this one go? In field 6 (eg XXXX_N) or in field 7 (eg N_CTR)? Or, doesn't it matter for the functionality of ES? Field 8 and 9 are not used by ES (at least this is what I have read in the doc). - Will ES ignore any contents in these to fields, or do they have to be "empty" (:-:) not to mess up anything?

Jannis Wiese 1015833 Posted March 24, 2009 at 02:33 PM Posted March 24, 2009 at 02:33 PM Hi Hans! I did it this way: EDGG_S_CTR:Langen Radar:127.500:GGCS:G:EDGG:CTR:EDGG:S_CTR:2160:2177:N050.01.35.120:E008.32.35.250 As you can see, the middle letter is not in field 6 or 7. 8 and 9 are unused, yes, so ES ignores the content.

Hans Utne 813128 Posted March 24, 2009 at 03:32 PM Author Posted March 24, 2009 at 03:32 PM Dan, Your reference is the original syntax for ASRC/VRC, which is well known to me But, as you may appreciate, that syntax is not 100% compatible with ES, for more reasons (fields used, number of characters per field, etc). Jannis, Yes, I found that in the newly downloaded ESE for EURM. But, what puzzled me was the presence of contents in fieldf 8 and 9, plus the "lack of" either _S or S_ in fields 6 and 7 As you have also added a position following field 11 (or in field 12), is that the CTR ref pos, or a view pos? And, if all manned sectors from CTR (incl APP/TWR) does appear as expected in ES, clearly indicating non-manned positions? If so, I will use the same syntax for the EURN Hans Utne VATSIM Pilot & SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jannis Wiese 1015833 Posted March 24, 2009 at 04:00 PM Posted March 24, 2009 at 04:00 PM Jannis,Yes, I found that in the newly downloaded ESE for EURM. But, what puzzled me was the presence of contents in fieldf 8 and 9, plus the "lack of" either _S or S_ in fields 6 and 7 Well, I have to say that this is the syntax which I adopted from Stephan Boerner. He said that with no middle letter in fields 6 or 7 other callsigns starting with field 6 and ending with field 7 are accepted as the station. So for example EDDK_T_TWR (T for Training) can "be" EDDK_TWR if the correct frequency is set. As you have also added a position following field 11 (or in field 12), is that the CTR ref pos, or a view pos? This is the vis-center for the station, when logging in, you are automatically centered above "your" airport etc. And, if all manned sectors from CTR (incl APP/TWR) does appear as expected in ES, clearly indicating non-manned positions? If so, I will use the same syntax for the EURN Sorry, I don't understand this... Do you mean, that non-manned positions are indicated in ES?

No, the contrary, that with your file-structure, that the manned positions do show up properly in ES However, this has been answered in PM, so I am happy. Thanks Jannis.
