Good Day,

Request addition of support for BICC_FSS as an adjacent sector to Gander / Shanwick

Hi, what exactly do you mean by this?

phoenixegmh commented 3 years ago

Hi Andrew,

I control BICC_FSS (Iceland Radio, Oceanic Clearances and Control) and have tried to integrate vNAAATS with the Iceland sector files so that it can be used there, but the position obviously does not appear within any drop down lists and when I connect to VATSIM in that live position, I am unable to see any aircraft (can see them as an OBS).

I am assuming that there's something related to sector ownership that's stopping this?

Unfortunately the plugin is intimately attached to the Gander/Shanwick sector files, given that's what the software IRL is used for, it uses the sector file itself to determine whether aircraft are inbound, whether they are under radar coverage or not, etc. It is not possible to transpose it onto other stations yet, but it is planned for the future, as I do want to get rid of the reliance on specific sector files,

No problems, I had a feeling that was the case, thanks for the update
