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 atc.xml file is located in the fir directory
Fields may be added in future
| Element | atc | |
|---|---|---|
| Value | Format | Description |
| id | string | ATC position id |
| long | string | long position ID. Used in lists etc. to identify other ATC positions. Should be unique. |
| short | string | short position ID. Used in label to identify current/next sector |
| freq | frequency | Frequency of the position (for legacy support) |
| avbl | true/false | ATC position available for login (boolean: true/false) |
| callsign | string | radio callsign of the ATC position |
| name | string | Display name used in the launcher, (defaults to callsign if not present) |
| label | string | label definition to be used for this specific ATC position (default=“default”) |
| theme | string | SDD theme for this specific ATC position (default=“default”) |
| preset | string | map preset to load when position is loaded |
| atis | string | DEPARTURE (for departure ATIS), ARRIVAL (for arrival ATIS), BOTH (default value, combined departure and arrival ATIS), MINIMAL (no actual ATIS, callsign and voice server only (for ACC sectors etc.) |
| lat | The latitude of the radar position/radio antenna location | |
| lon | The longitude of the radar position/radio antenna location | |
| range | int | The radar/radio range of the position (in NM) |
| magvar | int | The magnetic variation specific to this ATC position. If specified, it will over-ride any value provided in the confg.fir file. This setting is deprecated in favour of applying magvar in a preset definition. |
The avbl attribute indicates if the ATC position is available for login in this FIR. Positions which are not available (false) are used to define position identifications for foreign/neighbouring ATC positions.
Positions which control airspace (everything except GND/DEL) need to be assigned one or more sectors, in the open <atc> tag.
| Element | sector | |
|---|---|---|
| Value | Format | Description |
| id | string | sector ID |
| active | true/false | whether or not this sector is visible as active |
| fir | string | the FIR ID in the sectors definition |
