KevinSchepers Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 When I use EFB when flying online, it won't show the online ATC positions in the Netherlands correctly. It does show the online ATC positions in the countries surrounding the Netherlands, but in the Netherlands it only shows the Rotterdam Airport positions (EHRD_xxx), but not the Schiphol Airport (EHAM_x_xxx) and Amsterdam Radar positions (EHAA_x_CTR). Below are screenshots of IVAO's 'The Eye' and Aivlasoft EFB, taken at the same time: You can clearly see there's a lot of ATC online in the country, but EFB only displays the EHRD positions. I hope you can solve this issue, because 99% of my flights start or end at Schiphol Airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aivlasoft Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Kevin, could you please also provide a screenshot of EFB which has been taken at the same time? Just to your information: EFB only shows the relevant services along your route. Could you also provide an ATS route description? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinSchepers Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 Since I'm at another computer now, I don't have other screenshots available. However, I did notice two green circles around Schiphol Airport on the departure chart. Also visible on that chart were the online ATC services in Germany, but the online radar controller in the Netherlands was invisible. I filed a route from Schiphol to Venice in the EFB.

aivlasoft Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Kevin, a closer look into the file "firs.dat" shows that e.g. no positions like "_E_" or "_W_" are defined for EHAA: EHAA::NL:Amsterdam:Radar:52.8:4.6 Whereas other FIRs/ARTCCs like EDGG (Langen Radar) have explicitly defined their sub-positions like "_W_" or "_N_" etc: EDGG:N:DE:Langen:Radar:51.30:7.4:EDGG NORTH EDGG:W:DE:Langen:Radar:49.8:7.28:EDGG WEST EDGG:S:DE:Langen:Radar:49:8.91:EDGG SOUTH EDGG:E:DE:Langen:Radar:50.35:9.44:EDGG EAST EDGG:NW:DE:Langen:Radar:50.7:6.76:EDGG NORTH-WEST EDGG:SE:DE:Langen:Radar:49.6:8.9:EDGG SOUTH-EAST EDGG::DE:Langen:Radar Therefore EFB cannot recognize the active services from a sector if the controllers are logged in with an ID that is not known due to the definitions in the file "firs.dat". For the airports it seems to be a bug that they are not show correctly. Should be fixed with 1.3.1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
