Closed zkaviator closed 6 months ago

zkaviator commented 6 months ago

Major rework of the New Zealand Dataset, to align the dataset with the transition from the old SkyLine by Lockheed Martin to the new SkyLine-X Air Traffic Management platform developed by Leidos in co-operation with Airways NZ.

Following changes are made (in accordance from observations of the new SkyLine-X platform taken in a real world regional tower):

Addition of Radomes to ASD maps. These are denoted as hollow circles, providing visual reference to radar positions Repositioning of PSR and SSR locations (AKL PSR, CHC PSR, Ruatowhenua, Te Weraiti, Ballance, Hawkin's Hill, Mt Robertson and Cass Peak) to align with their real world locations (these are visualised) Recolouring of menu bar, pop up windows and VSCS windows to reflect the new SkyLine-X system and the Frequentis Control Panels found in real life towers (grey VSCS coldline button, black VSCS hotline button, grey and white menu and window icons Changed colour of Announced tags to a pale blue (non-cyan) colour Changed colour of distance drawing line to blue when being drawn and white when static, also to reflect SkyLine-X Changed ground aircraft colours from blue/beige to white, better reflecting ground radar systems in the real world Rearranged labels: Ground speed indication relocated to first line of a correlated tag. Introduction of non-extended labels where destination aerodrome is hidden, and extended labels where destination aerodrome is shown Changed Aerodrome symbols from hollow triangle to hollow star in ASD Reduction of ground aircraft icon circle radius from 6 to 3, lowering clutter of ground map display Correction of SSR coverage at Ballance, Mt Robertson and Cass Peak to be in line with AIP, for non-ADS-B equipped aircraft Added regex and string recognitions in ATIS for runway condition matrix reports, allowing concise reporting of runway condition matrices. Renaming the profile name from Lockheed Martin SkyLine to Leidos SkyLine-X, to reflect such changes
