-====== IvAc 2 Frequently Asked Questions ======
+====== IVAC2 SDK Frequently Asked Questions ======
-==== Is IvAc 2 available? ====
+==== What is SVN? ====
-**No**
+SVN is a software versioning and revision control system which we use to store the FIR Definitions. It allows more people to work on the files at the same time.
-IvAc2 is still in development. Selected staff, participating in the Data Preparation Project (DataPrep) have access to the SDK section and version of IvAc 2 with limited features.
+==== I committed the data to SVN but I cannot see it in the IVAC2 launcher ====
-==== When will IvAc 2 be released? ====
+The lead member of the dataprep team needs to publish the latest version for before it is available for public use. The server updates every 5 minutes so you need to wait after having uploaded to SVN.
-**No definite date is set**
+==== I committed to SVN, but the portal does not let me publish ====
-IvAc2 is developed by volunteers in their spare time. Development is ongoing but we can not commit to a release date.
+You should update the date in your config.fir file. If you already made a change on that date you also have to update the revision number.
-==== How can I learn more? ====
+==== After an SVN update I cannot launch the software. ====
-**Visit [[http://blog.sd.ivao.aero]]**
+It is possible that some of the recently downloaded FIR data files are incorrect. Please check the log file which will indicate the issue.
-The development team post periodic updates on the SoftDev Blog.
+==== How can I view the FIR Definition without releasing it for public use? ====
-----
+You can add the following line into your ivac.conf file:
+fir.dataprep=  <local-pathname>
+where <local-pathname> points to a folder on your own computer which has local copies of FIR definitions. The folder being pointed to should itself have in it a separate folder for each FIR; usually this should be the location of your local SVN working copy.
+==== In the SDD all of the colors have disappeared only black and white ====
+There is likely an error in your mapcolors.xml or sddcolors.xml file, check the log file for errors.
+==== Automatic Squawk code assignment ====
+Data files have been created for this purposes, but the logic is not yet implemented.
+==== Some FIRs contain other data files which are not in the documentation ====
+In some cases they were created for test purposes, or perhaps in error. If they are not listed in the documentation you should not create them; the data format is still subject to change, and including them could cause errors.
+==== How to start with a new FIR ====
+Currently not all FIR's are represented in IVAC2. If you want to start work on a FIR that is not yet represented just apply for an account and provide as much details as possible during your account request.
+If you already have an account send a mail to [email protected] with the request to start on a specific FIR.
+If there is no active division, or the division has not made contact with T2 to create a DP team for that FIR, the first person to apply for that FIR will become the Lead. So before you want to start on a new FIR make sure that you have sufficient knowledge of the airspace.
+==== I got accepted for a new FIR but there is no folder on SVN ====
+As soon as you are accepted to create a new FIR, you can create the folder on SVN yourself.
