-====== ​IvAc 2 sector system ​======+====== ​Sectors.xml ​======
  
-The sector system in IvAc 2 will implement the following major changes:+Sectors are indivisible ATC units of airspace which are defined using one or a number of [[ivac2:firdef_sectors_volumes|volumes]]. Sectors form the base for all coordination and AFTM calculations.
  
-  * 3D definition of each sector, for traffic detection and WebEye display.  +The ''​sectors.xml''​ file is located in the ''​fir/​volumes''​ directory
-  * The ability to combine and split sectors ​without reconnecting or changing frequency +
-  * The ability to activate and deactivate sectors individually+

-A **position** is an individual controller connected to IVAO. Theoretically a position will be able to activate a number ​of sectors simultaneously which will be individually visible online.+The <​sector>​ element must contain at least one volume if the type of unit is:

-A **sector** is an indivisible block of airspace which may be activated. Each sector is composed of the following:​ +===== Example =====

-The sector is defined by one of more volumes of airspace.  +----
- +
-A **volume** is a polygon with a upper and lower level that defines the airspace of a particular sector. A sector with 2 different upper/lower levels such as Y sector would have two volumes. +
- +
-Volumes of separate sectors may overlap and the smallest volume will be considered. Reference to the diagram above, in Y sector there is no need to cut out the APP airspace. +
- +
-Note that DEL & GND sectors don't have volumes as they are linked to the aerodrome reference point & transfer conditions are different than between airborne sectors. +
