Phil Hauf (1288197) Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) Hi Juha, regarding the missing inbounds inside the TTT List I have some images here. Latest beta is installed. https://prnt.sc/26hf783 https://prnt.sc/26hf7my https://prnt.sc/26hf95w Today it happened always around the 4 NM final.

Patrick Weineis (1244867) Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 (edited) hey juha thanks for the great update. 2 questions is there a reason why a tag is shown me when plane is squawk stby and Push/taxi while option GroundLabel_Filter_Stby is active. second, for the 2nd screen, wanted to activate this 2, SCTDATA:REGIONS\Groundlayout LOWW and SCTDATA:Freetext\LOWW Grounddesignator. freetext is working fine but having problems with the Regions. SCTFILEPATH:..\..\..\LOVV-LOVV-Sectorfile_* is also set, which should be correct. this is the full path D:\EuroScope\VACC-Austria\LOVV\Plugins\Groundradar , the dll is in the groundradar folder and the sct in VACC-Austria folder Edited January 23, 2022 by Patrick Weineis second question already answered internally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hongye Rudi Zhang (1326158) Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 Hi Juha, i found another small bug. I set "Window_APP=1,1600,650,400,300" in setting, and in radar that APP windows shows nothing. after I reclick APP bottom then it comes back.

Likely related to the closely separated parallel runways. You'll probably find the missing ones in the list for 25C in that case. There's also a related bug that'll make matters worse for the 07 direction (tracks on short final to 07R may be found in the list for either 07L or 07C). I'll organize the code around to better handle the close runways and fix the other bug. 19 hours ago, Patrick Weineis said: is there a reason why a tag is shown me when plane is squawk stby and Push/taxi while option GroundLabel_Filter_Stby is active Could be either the "Quick Look" function active (i.e. mouse cursor over the top menu area) or the track having a non-zero groundspeed. Either of those will override the filters by design. 14 hours ago, Hongye Rudi Zhang said: I set "Window_APP=1,1600,650,400,300" in setting, and in radar that APP windows shows nothing. after I reclick APP bottom then it comes back With the APP Window background being drawn in memory now, it needs a specific command to draw it. That seems to be missing when opening the window using the settings file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juha Holopainen Posted January 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2022 It's just a missing instruction in the code. Any event that leads to a change in the APP window background now needs to notify the window to update itself. The code that opens the window based on settings file data did not contain that instruction, and so the window background displayed the previous state - which, as the window had not been open before, was nothing at all. Until the code is updated in the next release, any other action that sends the necessary update command needs to be done in order to view the window background. These would include for example clicking "APP" in the Window menu as you did, zooming/resizing/panning the APP window, activating/deactivating maps that draw on that window or adjusting some of the display-related settings for the window in the Settings menu.

Adrian Bjerke (1339353) Posted January 24, 2022 Report Share Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) Would it be possible for GRplugin to draw maps the same way EuroScope does it? We are using Aeronav GNG for our sectorfiles, where creation of airspace lines are done automatically but often in a wierd order. It works well for EuroScope, but not for the groundplugin. Example of coordinates: CTR - ENGM N060.01.54.946 E011.00.16.024 N060.00.47.000 E011.08.04.000 COLOR_TWR-CTR N060.22.43.211 E011.12.19.529 N060.22.16.000 E011.15.25.000 COLOR_TWR-CTR N060.00.47.000 E011.08.04.000 N060.12.18.000 E011.17.31.000 COLOR_TWR-CTR N060.12.18.000 E011.17.31.000 N060.18.00.000 E011.17.00.000 COLOR_TWR-CTR N060.18.00.000 E011.17.00.000 N060.22.16.000 E011.15.25.000 COLOR_TWR-CTR N060.23.10.000 E011.09.17.000 N060.22.43.211 E011.12.19.529 COLOR_TWR-CTR N060.01.54.946 E011.00.16.024 N060.02.40.000 E010.54.53.000 COLOR_TWR-CTR N060.02.40.000 E010.54.53.000 N060.04.00.000 E010.54.00.000 COLOR_TWR-CTR N060.04.00.000 E010.54.00.000 N060.15.25.000 E010.52.07.000 COLOR_TWR-CTR N060.23.10.000 E011.09.17.000 N060.20.00.000 E011.00.00.000 COLOR_TWR-CTR N060.20.00.000 E011.00.00.000 N060.15.25.000 E010.52.07.000 COLOR_TWR-CTR Example on how GRplugin handles it (GRplugin left, ES right) Edited January 24, 2022 by Adrian Bjerke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juha Holopainen Posted January 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 If the airspace name would be at the start of every line (as in the SCT file syntax), the polygon would be drawn as expected. For all items where a line contains only coordinates (GEO items are like that by design, other types apparently can be like that as well), the points as reported to plugins lead to unintended results. The next version will bring additional types to be readable from a defined sector file like the GEO and REGION items are now. This should make it possible to address issues like this, although I would much prefer to be provided correct data by EuroScope rather than having to parse sector files myself to get it...

Adrian Bjerke (1339353) Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 This specific entry is placed in the ARTCC Low. I can not do anything with how AeroNAV GNG outputs the results, Aeronav has the option to automatically generate these airspace displays and I tend to keep as many of them as possible to be "drawn/made" automatically, such as when there is airspace changes I only need to change the actual airspace definitions and the displays get updated accordingly. One of the many advantages of Aeronav. For me, it is not any importance that GRplugin supports this yet, as I only have 4 airspace maps defined and those are already manually entered with coordinates in the maps file, however it would be a nice feature if it supported the Aeronav format in the future.

Roald Strangstadstuen (1425746) Posted January 26, 2022 Report Share Posted January 26, 2022 Is it possible for departure timer list to trigger timer on say (400ft per min climb gradient or 100ft above aerodrome elevation, whichever is first), insted of groundspeed, so it corresponnds better to wake separation?

The wake separation is normally measured from the start of the takeoff roll. You don't wait x minutes after number 1 rotates do issue takeoff clearance to the second aircraft.

The List_Outbound setting works fine if you use the "=" character to separate the setting name and value. I will make the plugin flag a setting line like this as an error. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Fong (1308253) Posted January 31, 2022 Report Share Posted January 31, 2022 Out of curiosity, are there plans to add the SCTDATA function to the TopSky plugin as well? The Iceland sector file has many maps of SIDs, STARs, etc. currently constructed manually of dozens of "LINE" commands, and it would be great to use the SCTDATA function to automate that and make updating it easier.

However, it doesn't seem to go to the position you define: Quote List_Inbound=*,2,1060,565 List_Outbound=*,2,1060,555 The Inbound list is correctly positioned on the screen while the Outbound list defaults to the centre of the screen.

The result of testing those exact settings is that the lists open at the expected positions, so there's something else going on with your setup that's affecting the outcome.
