Creating flight plans in pro mode #54

Closed Keanu73 closed 4 years ago

Keanu73 commented 4 years ago

I've come across a few aircraft that "book out", which basically means they want me to file a flightplan for them when they request it. But I have pro mode on, and since .am requires me to click on their tag, I cannot click on their tag, so I can only deal with filed ones. We'll have to make it so you can click on their aircraft symbol then?

I might be late to the party... You need to click TARGET > ACQUIRE > Select aircraft. (SEE ATTACHED) image

Then you will be able to set their flight plan up with F1+A or .am

If not then let me know

@NathanInnes I may be wrong but doesn't acquire assume the tag?

NathanInnes commented 4 years ago

I think it does, but it won't make much difference anyways if you're doing ground control. Once the aircraft has set the allocated squawk code you would release the aircraft.

pierr3 commented 4 years ago

This is the incorrect procedure actually. When an aircraft with no flight plan calls up, you should open a new flightplan for them by using the .am CALLSIGN command, then assigning them a squawk. You would get their callsign when they call up. Once you give them the squawk, they will automatically be correlated and show up on your scope. TARGET -> Acquire does not assume a tag either.
