scenario tutorials / briefs #54

Open mmp opened 3 months ago

mmp commented 3 months ago

It would be nice to have some built-in tutorials for some of the scenarios, walking through airspace ownership, describing the requirements for departures (exit gates, altitudes, etc.), and whatever else controllers should be aware of.

An alternative might be to allow text briefings to be included with the scenarios that outline what needs to be done.

The bigger question maybe is "can we boil things down so that a controller doesn't need to read a facility's SOP to do a passable job controlling aircraft there?"

I wouldn't mind drafting some markdown files for each facility if we could integrate a markdown viewer in vice for facility makers to provide info

mmp commented 3 months ago

That'd be great! Markdown is a good suggestion as well. This won't make the next release but hopefully soon.

Let me know what you think of the formatting of this guide.

mmp commented 3 months ago

That looks great!

I was going to suggest including the controller splits (who takes which arrivals, who the backup is, etc.), but on second thought I think that's something vice should generate automatically when it presents this info: it has the information already so there's no need to duplicate it (and have it possibly go out of sync.)

I can work on getting a way to update info such as that based on airspace awareness in the JSON itself (most likely a program the workflow can call when building the binaries)
