- | ====== IvAc 2 sector system ====== | ||
- | |||
- | The sector system in IvAc 2 implements the following major changes: | ||
- | |||
- | * 3D definition of each sector, for traffic detection and WebEye display. | ||
- | * The ability to combine and split sectors without reconnecting or changing frequency - subject to FSD upgrades | ||
- | * The ability to activate and deactivate sectors individually - subject to FSD upgrades | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Sector definition ===== | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Position ==== | ||
- | |||
- | 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. Positions are defined in [[ivac2:firdef_atc_xml|atc.xml]] in the root FIR folder. Each position is composed of the following: | ||
- | |||
- | * Position ID - will be visible in FSD | ||
- | * Long ID | ||
- | * Short ID | ||
- | * Frequency | ||
- | * Radar centerpoint Lat/Lon | ||
- | * Radar range | ||
- | * Available to log on with | ||
- | * Callsign | ||
- | * Label design | ||
- | * Theme | ||
- | * Preset | ||
- | |||
- | Positions are required to maintain compatibility with legacy clients. | ||
- | |||
- | <code XML> | ||
- | <atc id="AFXX_NW_CTR" long="ACCYN" short="YN" freq="131.100" lat="N0505405" lon="E0042904" range="250" avbl="true" callsign="Somewhere Radar" label="acc" theme="acc" preset="y-acc"> | ||
- | <sector id="Y" active="true" fir="AFXX" /> | ||
- | <sector id="N" active="true" fir="AFXX" /> | ||
- | <sector id="APP" active="false" fir="AFXX" /> | ||

- | ==== Sector ==== | ||
- | |||
- | {{ :ivac2:ivac-2-sectors.png?nolink |}} | ||
- | |||
- | A **sector** is an indivisible block of airspace which may be activated. Sectors are defined in [[ivac2:firdef_sectors_xml|sectors.xml]]. Each sector is composed of the following: | ||
- | |||
- | * Sector ID | ||
- | * FIR | ||
- | * Sector Name | ||
- | * Radio Callsign | ||
- | * Frequency | ||
- | * Type (DEL, GND, TWR, APP, ACC, FSS) | ||
- | |||
- | <code XML> | ||
- | <sector id="Y" fir="AFXX" name="Yellow sector" callsign="Somewhere Radar" freq="125.550" type="acc"> | ||
- | <volume id="Y_Sect_1" /> | ||
- | <volume id="Y_Sect_2" /> | ||
- | </sector> | ||
- | </code> | ||
- | |||
- | The sector is defined by one of more volumes of airspace. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Volume ==== | ||
- | |||
- | 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. | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | <code XML> | ||
- | <volume id="Y_sect_1" fir="ABXX" bottom="000" top="999"> | ||
- | <point lat="N0494918000" lon="E0041835000" /> | ||
- | <point lat="N0494918000" lon="E0041835000" /> | ||
- | <point lat="N0494918000" lon="E0041835000" /> | ||
- | </volume> | ||
