Direction finder in Euroscope

Good morning,

New to vatsim ATC, I can't activate the 'radar direction finder' in Euroscope.
This feature which allows a circle to appear around the plane communicating by radio.

I've seen on videos and forums that this feature exists, but I can't manage to set it up, and it will be useful during observation sessions on the ground when it's busy.

For information:
- Up-to-date Euroscope
- CDM and TopSky up to date
- EKCH packaging is loaded
- The Top sky plugin is allowed to write on the 'ground'
- I activated Radar Finder in the 'approach' view mode
- I tried with and without the RDF plugin, with authorization to write on the 'ground'
- AFV is connected

Have a great day

 

Julien

Hi Julien,

This is not a feature in EuroScope per se, but something that would be enabled with a plugin

Hi Henrik,


Thank you for your reply.
I tried with RDF plugin but it doesn't seem to work, moreover the official page of this plugin says not to use it anymore with the latest version of TopSky.
Know of another plugin that can do what I'm looking for?

Hej Thomas,

 

I tried again 'approch view' - setup - direction finder - all.

Doesn't work for me. Even after uninstall and reinstall Euroscope.

I see that you only have an OBS rating. The radio direction finder will only work when you are logged on as active ATC. So until you achieve your rating, this will not work for you.

Hi Magnus,

Thanks for your anserw, make sense.

I am currently waiting for a mentor to start my training.
Is there a way to start learning earlier via the CC? On Moodle I can't access any course because I don't have a valid endorsement key or I can't self endorse.

Are there other documents to prepare my training, other than in the section: VASIM - ATC - Download - DK and Training - Documentation - Common?

Just to be sure to be ready when the time comes.

Good week
