 // Both the MAPS and PRESETS menus are in two parts, with choices in the top part changing the options available in the bottom part. Please note that these choices will include ALL options for the whole FIR, some of which may not be relevant to the particular ATC position you are working. Refer to FIR documentation for how to use these menus.// // Both the MAPS and PRESETS menus are in two parts, with choices in the top part changing the options available in the bottom part.

   * PSR - Turns the simulated Primary Surveillance Radar on or off. When the PSR is enabled, radar returns will be simulated for all targets regardless of whether the aircraft transponder is turned on or off; without PSR, only targets with an activated transponder will be displayed.   * PSR - Turns the simulated Primary Surveillance Radar on or off.
