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

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.
