Display Controllers Break Status #264

Open bencodes07 opened 3 months ago

Your Vatsim CID

1601613

What do you suggest?

As a controller you can type .break to make other controllers about to see, that you are closing. I think this would be good for pilots to see.

Why do you need that?

When pilots want to start a flight they often look at vatsim-radar to see, which controllers are online. If those pilots would know, that a specific controller was about to close, they would not start a flight, where the controller would close any minute.

Alternatives

I do not think there are any alternatives implemented. A pilot could potentially connect his ATC client as an observer however that is not really a good solution.

Additional info

Thank you for your amazing work :D

Validation

Is this even exposed? I was under the impression that was purely internal within the ATC client.

bencodes07 commented 3 months ago

That is very possible. I don't have any information about that unfortunately. It looks like it though

Yeah we probably won't know that, but let's add considering for now.

I'll add a comment here as it is related. If the break status is not exposed in any API, perhaps the log off time from Euroscope is?
