Display Types

[Yanis-Sauve]

We need a way to keep Situ from drawing to VFR type displays.

How about having the plug-in create display types so we can control this easily.

I'd propose creating at least one named "IFR", which would be used to allow Situ to draw to, after changing the "DisplayTypeName" variable in our .asr files. Ideally, lets create two types "IFR" and "VFR", that way we can explicitly keep Situ from drawing to a TWR view, for example.

Great idea, was pondering this since the beginning, but figured would involve a lot of buy in from FEs to change asr files; now there's some momentum, I think this is great to not have doubled up tags and targets on ground screens, tower screens etc.

proposed solution at 1ba6383

Add the following to .asr files that you want Situ to display on PLUGIN:VATCANSitu:DisplayTypeName:IFR

If you open a twr asr file, seems to not show the PPS, because they were changed to MOVETO 0 0 to implement Vatcansitu on IFR asr displays

[Yanis-Sauve]

You have to switch your radar to NARDS to have the PPS for VFR displays. Only the CSiT must be MOVETO 0 0 for IFR

Will work on a NARDS style display for the tower asrs at some point

As discussed, how about having Situ display CJSs on a "VFR" display type, so CANscope would not be needed anymore?

For IFR, Situ will draw CJSs, targets and tags. For VFR, Situ will draw CJSs, Euroscope will draw NARDS targets and tags.

Add the following to your VFR screens and the CJS should now draw for targets. More work to come on a full NARDS tags symbology and toolbar

PLUGIN:VATCANSitu:DisplayTypeName:VFR
