Sector File Announcements

[Richie Queally]

This forum is getting cluttered. This topic is for the announcing of sector files.

[Richie Queally]

1806 V2

For the upcoming SFO crossfire, I've updated our sector files. If you plan to control in the event tomorrow, it it extremely important that you install these files.

CHANGELOG:

• Added accurate terminal split boundaries. Boundaries change with active runway.
• Added a new, louder PM sound. To install, in Euroscope, go to Other SET, sounds, private message, and look for the .wav file.
• Radarholes added. In most of the sounds on the west coast of BC, there won’t be radar coverage. Also in valleys like Bella Coola.
• Hopefully, the borders and auto-handoffs should work.
• I made some changes with the Virtual Controller Assistant plugin (gives us wake turbulence timer), and now squawks and temp alts should automatically pop in when a flightplan is filed and a SID is assigned.
• The symbology has been updated to change the radar targets.

When downloading package update, just paste the contents of it into your old sector file folder, and delete your old SCT, ESE and RWY files and load in the new sector file. Link http://files.aero-nav.com/CZVR.

If any of the above, or if you have any other issues, please contact me at r.queally@vatcan.ca.

AIRAC 1808

CHANGELOG:

• Default OBS vis range moved to just south of Victoria.
• Changed the TWR radar tags to the NARDS tag family.
• Edited ground tags. Departures will display the callsign, aircraft type, and the code the plane is currently squawking. Arrivals will display the callsign, ground speed and aircraft type.      
• Changes for rocedures can be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VCRdy_MP_YoUd5qtiiUAH85QDqvUIzGJILFNWI5IJSY/edit?usp=sharing

• Changes in the instrument procedures can be found here here.

I really do apologise for not releasing sector file packages when I should have but I've been busy with exams and other parts of real life. This will probably be my last release. Thank you.
