Recognition of New Division

I was just wondering what one has to do to get servinfo to recognize a newly formed division.

 

As of Sep 5, 2009 the Thailand Division of VATASIA became official, and it would be nice if it was recognized on servinfo.

 

Thanks in advance for any info regarding this matter.

I'm unsure what you want to achieve here, but regardless of whether your VACC is official or not, ATC will still show up the same online

Hi Scott, this would require a rewrite of the program...which according to its author is never happening again.

 

Logging in with VATTHDxxxx will show up as "VATSIM staff" I'm afraid.

Controllers have feelings too...

doubt a rewrite is required, isnt that why vatsim provided its own update? i believe the info just has to be added to the data file

we are talking about the airspace arent we? isnt FIR.dat and ServInfo.dat the ones that need to be edited?

 

for example if we log on VTBB_CTR so itll show us on.

 

and im pretty sure the airport locations are wrong, least in vatspy anyway.

Nope. Talking about showing what division and whatnot a person belongs to, when they log in with an official callsign.

 

eg In the observer list, anyone logged in as:

  • VATUSAxxxx will have "VATUSA Region[sic] staff"
    VATSIMxxxx will have "VATSIM founder"

etc, instead of "Observer".

 

What Scott wanted to know, is if you can update SI somehow to show "VATSIM Thailand Staff", when you log in as VATTHDxxxx. None of this info is stored in any of the files, but within the program itself.

servinfo.dat - Fixes all airspace related wounds

servinfo.cfg - Saves personal preferences and such

Thanks, and that's exactly what I was asking, cuz right now it just shows "VATSIM STAFF", whereas others show "VATSIM STAFF XXX Division"
