SCT2 support

[Chris Makris]

Hello,

 

First of all congrats for the new release

 

On VRC I had made a sct2 sector file for the ground of LGAV, now that ES supports this kind of sector I copy pasted the relevant parts to the ES sector file. What I observed is that for some reason ES reads the colours different than VRC.

 

What I mean. On the Regions insdide the sct2 I had

Black XXXXX Cordinates

XXXXX Cordinates

XXXXX Cordinates

XXXXX Cordinates

GREY XXXXX Cordinates

XXXXX Cordinates

XXXXX Cordinates

XXXXX Cordinates

DGREY XXXXX Cordinates

XXXXX Cordinates

XXXXX Cordinates

 

In that way the first colour, black, was on top of Grey etc, ie the first colour definition had the top priority. With ES now it is opposite the last declared colour has the top priority. On the example above the sector file was DGREY since that was the last colour that I had declared. The solution was to reverse completly the order of colours. Is there any reason for this?

Chris,

 

It was an issue in the beta as well. Originally the display order of the region elements was the opposite they appeared in the SCT2 file. I received a suggestion that it should not be in this way as VRC displays them in the straight order. So I changed. Now the regions are put to the screen on the same order as they are in the SCT2 file.

Hi,

 

I have been putting the regions i created in sector files in to my ES files, however, In the regions area of the display settings, i have a check box for one called "Un-named". Which, when i turn it on, is what i copied in.

 

My question is, how do you name different regions? I tried putting a name after the coordinates but that does not work either.

REGIONNAME name
Runway      N049.42.11.254 E011.56.12.728 ;Runway 14/32

Do you have to re-specify the REGIONNAME name when changing the colors? For example:

 

REGIONNAME Madison
gray           N043.09.02.261 W089.19.44.289
                 N043.08.00.026 W089.20.31.305
                 N043.07.59.238 W089.20.29.459
                 N043.09.01.473 W089.19.42.436
;- TARMAC SOUTH RAMP
REGIONNAME Madison
darkgray  N043.07.58.448 W089.19.34.031
               N043.08.03.998 W089.19.33.959
               N043.08.09.801 W089.19.41.283
               N043.08.10.906 W089.19.44.868
               N043.08.11.062 W089.19.56.961
               N043.08.09.791 W089.20.00.383

When I do this, it puts it under the correct name. If I omit the second REGIONNAME section it will be in a "no name" section in display settings.

Affirmative. Every region should have its own name. Otherwise treated as noname region.
