On EKCH the "Auto assign" (great feature 🙂 ) assigns only "0000". The colouring is somewhat "off"

(The assigned squaks in the picture were done manually)

Both are most likely configuration issues so contact your local staff first. If the configuration turns out to be ok (others are seeing the same issues), then 1) what auto assign feature are you referring to and how is the plugin set up to assign the codes? and 2) how is the coloring "off" compared to what you're expecting based on how the plugin is set up?

Would it be possible to get the winds automatically when performing a VATSIM connection?
I have the window setup to be open automatically when I open Euroscope but I have to reopen it once I connect to be able to have winds.

Any different setup suggestion?

The settings code does open the window but the data download is not set correctly. It will eventually happen if you're patient enough, it'll take several years though... This is not intentional, I'll fix the code.

Hi Juha,

unfortunately I did not have a lot of spare time to tinker around with 2.5. Because of that it is only now, that I encountered questions regarding PDC/DCL. First of all, it appears the old "compact" version of the CLR-field is gone. See:

2.4: q0BQcnc.png

2.5: pLk0FKa.png

Is there any chance to bring back the old compact version of the indicator?

Furthermore: What exactly has changed in regard to DCL/PDC? As far as I can tell from the manuals there have been no functional changes except for the DCL-Window. Is my assumption correct, that when I have [DLC] defined in TopSkyCPDLC.txt but no [PDC], that I need to use the DCL Window?

I was not able to debug it yet, but on my last session I was unable to issue datalink clearances. Edit: Apparently I was still using legacy settings in my TopskyCPDLC.txt-File, like <adep2> and <freq>. ;)

The short CLR item is still there, it just no longer has any datalink features, it only displays the clearance received flag. The long version may some day contain clearance negotiation (TWR-APP/ACC) related functionality but the datalink features have been moved away. For setups where datalink clearances are given, the recommended setup is either the CLR item, DCL item and optionally the CMT item in the list, or, to save space, only the combined CLR/DCL/CMT item. There may be a feature-limited short (one-character) CLR/DCL combined item available in the future but at least not yet.

All datalink clearances regardless of type are issued using the DCL Window (the PDC Window is used in the clearance negotiation process IRL, but in the plugin its function is currently limited to adjusting some clearance values and setting/clearing the clearance received flag).

Hi Juha,

I noticed that every time I open EuroScope and the plugin loads, when I click on the Maps Menu it opens with the first folder already highlighted (see screenshot).

Is it normal or a bug? If it's normal, is there a way to make it open with no highlighted folder?

Thank you!

It is the behaviour of the real system, the first folder is selected by default.

I don't see where or how to open the Vertical Aid Window in the new version.

You either call it trough the CARD (right click on the callsign) or in the label (maybe it works in lists too) with the action "Open Vertical Aid Window"

Hello,

thanks for the reply about the Maps Menu.

I have two more questions.

1. Is there a way to color uncorrelated aircraft's labels with a specific color?

2. Is there a way to color radar targets with a specific color?

Thanks in advance guys!
