@QUIG What do you mean by "graphic" sector file editor? We have some sector file editors in the works, yes.
-
@QUIG Yes flight strips are being added and sector file tools are being developed.

Hello!
I wondered whether a client capable of facilitating approach procedural (i.e. non-radar) could ever be considered for airports that have that position in real life? It is a very different skill from approach surveillance (radar), as it involves relying on pilots reporting at certain points, and time-based separation to be applied through holding and estimated times at certain fixes. The client would need to provide the controller with the flight progress strips for each arriving / departing aircraft, with the ETAs for certain points, which the controller could either print - or indeed drag around the screen - as the aircraft arrives at each point.
I'm not suggesting this be a priority - just an interesting idea to consider down the line :)
Cheers,
Caspian
Hi, thanks for your suggestion.
I actually think this will be entirely possible. FEs will be a be able to configure their sectors to be "radar" or "non-radar", at least that what is planned.

On the subject of pilot clients, lots of ESP sim users I've spoken to don't like the fact that if you'e got only one screen, you have to keep alt-tabing between your pilot client and sim, whereas with the current old-generation ones for IVAO and VATSIM you have it built into your view of the simulator, so you only need one app open, and no need to tab between them. Will that be possible with the new clients?
The new pilot clients are considered "headless" meaning we have designed them to operate in the background. Any interaction you will need with the pilot client user-interface can be accomplished through a web page. The advantage to this is that, if you have an add-on aircraft such as the Flight Factor A320, you can access the pilot client directly in the cockpit (see the video below). If you are using a phone or tablet, you can access the pilot client from there as well. While this doesn't completely eliminate the need for alt-tab, it does allow other options for the pilots to choose from. If a simmer wants to have a completely immersive VR experience, they would have to use an add-on that supports web page browsing in the cockpit.

Hello Andrew/Poscon team,
I've been watching from a distance, and I am somewhat curious to the nature of the relationship of Poscon and X-Plane, and your intentions for the platform. As a user, I think it's fair to say that we have been rather disgruntled by the rather lacking support and innovation from vatsim and ivao. I don't suppose there is anything you can share with us as of yet? (with respect to development schedules and current reserved features.)
Mark Ellis of X-Camera is doing our X-Plane pilot client. He already has all the back-end code completed; we expect great things from his client! Personally, I am an X-plane user so I got your back :-D

I've done some research into iTEC (interim technology for european control according to NATS, or interoperatability through european collaboration) and have found that it's made by Indra systems, and available for other ANSPs to purchace on contract, likley for rather large sums of money. Their contact details are [email protected] , perhaps it's worth asking them if something could be agreed on (although i'm skeptical you'll be able to get any actual software for security reasons, they might part with some user manuals or something)
I've also contacted some of my ATC friends to see if they'd be able to assist
Thanks for your help, user manuals is all we are looking for!

For pilot Moderators, the hiring priority will be real world pilots.
For ATC Moderators, the hiring priority will be real world ATC.
There will be a minimum age for a Moderator. For now that age is 18, but we may increase it later on.
Experience as a supervisor on another network will be a huge plus, but is by no means a requirement or a guarantee you will get hired here.
Additional requirements may follow, as I said the position is not something we have fully decided on yet, the above are preliminary considerations.

Switzerland (Swiss Division) Please :)

Hello and welcome to everyone interested in the Switzerland Division of POSCON! I have created this forum to explore the possibility of releasing a division for Switzerland during beta testing. The only way we will release with this division is if enough people show interest, so get all your friends to join this club and make sure that they stay active! If there is enough interest and discussion, we will devote our resources to creating the necessary infrastructure. We are going to need your help though with sector file construction and writing procedures! If you have any interest in helping us write this material, please email [email protected]
Hallo und herzlich willkommen an alle, die sich für die Schweiz-Abteilung von POSCON interessieren! Ich habe dieses Forum geschaffen, um die Möglichkeit zu erkunden, eine Division für die Schweiz während des Beta-Tests freizugeben. Der einzige Weg, den wir mit dieser Aufteilung frei machen, ist, wenn genug Leute Interesse zeigen, also lasst alle eure Freunde in diesen Club eintreten und sorgt dafür, dass sie aktiv bleiben! Wenn genug Interesse und Diskussion vorhanden sind, werden wir unsere Ressourcen für die Schaffung der notwendigen Infrastruktur einsetzen. Wir werden jedoch Ihre Hilfe bei der Konstruktion und dem Schreiben von Sektoren benötigen! Wenn Sie Interesse haben, uns bei der Erstellung dieses Materials zu helfen, senden Sie bitte eine E-Mail an [email protected]
Bonjour et bienvenue à tous ceux qui s'intéressent à la Division Suisse de POSCON! J'ai créé ce forum pour explorer la possibilité de lancer une division pour la Suisse pendant les tests bêta. La seule façon dont nous allons sortir avec cette division est si suffisamment de gens montrent de l'intérêt, alors demandez à tous vos amis de rejoindre ce club et assurez-vous qu'ils restent actifs! Si l'intérêt et la discussion sont suffisants, nous consacrerons nos ressources à la création de l'infrastructure nécessaire. Nous aurons besoin de votre aide avec la construction de fichiers sectoriels et les procédures d'écriture!

as we know some vatsim or ivao training time are extremely long if they already at some position are student (solo) is that able for him to upgrade to the poscon
for example at the vatsim their ratting is APP/DEP(S3) but he is a students as CTR (solo ) so is that they can transfer to ctr as poscon network ? because some vacc or artcc a lack of enough instructor
Only full ratings will transfer, no solo ratings.

Anyone can apply to be a moderator, but again we are not hiring for that position yet.
The two roles of Moderators are the following: moderating feedback and supervising network activities.
- When moderating pilot/controller feedback, Moderators will be limited to region.
- When Moderators are acting as supervisors, they will be global.
I hope this makes sense.

Most of the non-US clients are very strongly proprietry, developed by ANSPs like NATS or companies like Thales, so finding good documentation will be near-impossible. Having said that, there are going to be a whole host of controllers our there that have experience using the software, so maybe getting them onboard might be helpful. I for one would really like to see the UK's AC (enroute) software, known as iTEC (a really nice looking and easy to use piece of software, with great coordination traits) or EXCDS (a combined canadian-UK flight strip system)
Actually, the US ATC hardware/software is also highly proprietary. Unlike other free organizations, we would be willing to pay those companies for that information though. Not sure if this is an option?
The other option you suggested (getting controllers with experience to help) is definitely another possibility, but these controllers need to be put in touch with me. I really can't seek them out at this time. Are you able to to refer them to me?
Thanks!

Will ERAM be the only simulated ATC client? Or will there be other simulations for systems such as Thales' TopSky, Lockheed Martin's Skyline, or is it more of a generic client with plugins like EuroScope.
The road map calls for the following clients, or user-interfaces, depending on how we decide we tackle it (one client or multiple).
- ERAM
- STARS
- ASDE-X
- ATOP
- A new version of EuroScope
The only unknown here is how EuroScope will be redesigned. Right now, we are planning to port over the existing features of ES, but it is kind of up to those who have more experience with controlling outside of the USA. If you are looking for NEW user-interfaces or clients, then you need to make those requests now and ideally provide us with the proper materials to design those UIs/clients.
I hope that answers your question.
