General
The Euroscope plugin "Topsky" is used as default in the training of our vControllers in Langen FIR and corresponding profiles are available for download. Since this plugin goes beyond the already complex handling of Euroscope, here are a few words in advance.
What is Topsky and why do we use it?
Topsky is a real ATC system used by more than 100 FIRs worldwide. A very realistic replica of this system has been available for some time as a plugin for Euroscope. The vACCs in Scandinavia as well as our neighbors in Austria have been using this as a standard ATC system for several years.
In order to simplify the coordination between ATC and to use the many additional features (e.g. Datalink, Conflict and Risk Window, Vertical Aid Window, Missed Approach, etc.), we will also use the plugin as standard during our ATC training. This has the advantage for you, that you are already familiar with the system from the beginning and the changeover for the APP training later on will be easier.
First use of the package
The full package is already set up by us, so that it can be used directly without having to make any further changes. Only the use of the plug-in may take some getting used to. Even though this guide is very extensive, don't let it scare you away! It's easy to learn how to use it and our mentors will help you as much as they can. In addition, we will briefly introduce the most important functions here.
To familiarize yourself with the functions of Topsky in detail, you can also use the comprehensive manual (which is included in the package). In addition, our colleagues from Austria have created two very helpful "How To" videos about Topsky in German (Part 1 and Part 2).
Especially as APP and CTR, you should open the radar menu at the beginning. To do this, right-click in the line next to the text so that the menu opens. To make this box fixed, click the small box to the left of the word Radar Menu again. Then you can move the window. This offers various additional tools such as QDM (also an important tool for the tower), SEP-Tool, Maps, Filter, etc..
Tower Ground Profile - Tower Radar View Frankfurt
Profile
Profiles offer the possibility to store different configurations and settings in Euroscope. We offer different types of profiles in order to provide controllers with realistic radar screens and benefits of different plugins.
Tower Ground: This profile is used primary for all Tower and Ground stations. Tags and Lists are optimised for the Tower and Ground duties. It is recommended to use the different ASR files for Tower and Ground.
EDGG Langen Radar: This profile should be used for all Arrival (APP, DEP) and Center stations within the Langen FIR. All settings have been optimized for the lower airspace according to the real world used layout. It should also be used when one station is covering lower and upper sectors.
EDUU Rhein Radar: This Profile should be used for all Rhein Radar stations and is optimized for the upper airspace with ASR files for EDUU only!
EDYY Maastricht Radar: This Profile should be used for Maastricht Radar stations Münster and Ruhr only. It is optimized for the upper airspace with ASR files for EDYY only!
ASR Files
The different views (whether tower, ground, etc.) are saved in so-called ASR files. These are already set up by us, so that you can use them to control. The tags used are also specially adapted to this representation. We therefore recommend that you use two monitors (if available), one for the final / the control zone and one for the traffic on the ground. If you only have one monitor, it is best to use the F7 key to quickly switch between the files (much more effective than zooming) or open two Euroscope instances next to each other (option: right-click on the maximize field).
Please do not change any settings!
As you will quickly notice, Euroscope is a software where you can configure a lot. As tempting as it may be, please do yourselves a favor and use the presets. The construct of the settings files has become very extensive and complex (over 100 settings files). It can happen very quickly that one change of yours breaks the whole profile for yourself. And believe us, we know how time-consuming the work with the settings can be, even if you think you know what you are doing.

Lists Langen FIR
General
Lists in general offer a lot of useful information and many functions. For some stations working with lists can be a huge benefit, while others do not need them most of the time. Working with the Departure or Startup List is particularly recommended for the tasks of the Delivery Controller. These two lists are the same for every station. Other lists differ between Ground/Tower and Arrival/Center as different information are important.
The grey items in the table below are hidden by default and can be quickly shown via the filter of the respective list (F) if required. By using the right mouse button the filter dialogue will not close after selecting an item.
Departure List
The Departure List shows all departures of an airport which are on the ground. For the tasks of Delivery, the Start-Up List can be used in addition to this list, which is structured similarly.

Plugins
Topsky (TS)
Topsky is a very powerful plugin and is used by default for all radar matters. For details you can have a look at the attached manual inside the package.
Groundradar Plugin (GRP)
Groundradar is a powerful plugin and is used by default for all ground matters. For details you can have a look at the attached manual inside the package.
The most used features are the tags, stand assignment, the additional maps (it depends on the airport) and the second ground view.
Virtual Controller Helper (VCH)
This plugin offers some useful but minor features like the cleared to land flag.
vACDM Plugin
The vACDM Plugin is designed to assist Delivery with the ACDM procedure to optimize the outbound traffic flow during high traffic situations. It is only available within the Startup List but disabled by default and can be enabled by using the Filter F.
To use the plugin the command .vacdm master need to be entered into the command line. Make sure you have set the active airport and runways!
vACDM sometimes has some synchronization issues with the server and should be used with care only.
Flightplan Checker (FPC)
Flightplan Checker checks all flightplans regarding SID restrictions, some minor route issues and cruise level (odd/even) depending on the airway used. You will see a red error message if some errors occur or a green "OK!" if everything is fine. No further actions are required to use this plugin. By default it is disabled and can be used within the Departure and Startup list using the filter "F".
Please check your local SOP if it is mandatory to check the pilot's filed route or not. Please be careful with odd/even amendments as this can be a really tricky topic and is solved by step climbs in real life.
vSID
vSID is used to assign the correct SIDs according to all dependencies. Check the vSID manual here.
MAESTRO
MAESTRO is an arrival manager that is included inside the package. By default this plugin is not loaded. If you would like to use it, you have to load it first.
Right now the plugin seems to be a bit buggy, use on own risk!
AMAN
AMAN is an additional arrival manager that can be displayed with the command ".aman open" and closed with ".aman close".

Tricks and Hints
Create a flightplan for VFR flights
To use all benefits of the Tower Radar it is recommended to create a flightplan for every VFR traffic within the CTR. If origin and/or destination are unknown, ZZZZ should be used.
Creating a flightplan as controller:
Enter .am (like ammend flightplan) into the command line of Euroscope and click on the aircraft you would like to create a flightplan for. The flightplan window will open and you can enter ADEP, ADES and ATYP.
Second Ground View (GND)
At bigger airports or if you need to zoom in a lot, a second ground window might be helpful (e.g. for runway 25R/07L at Frankfurt).
Ground Radar Manu at the top => Window => 2nd
Display SIDs as Tower in ground view (GND/TWR)
For an efficient departure flow it is important to know which SIDs the departures are going to fly. To have a better overview what is already at the holdingpoint or coming along, you can simply enable the SIDs at the ground tag. So you don't have to keep all SIDs in mind or hover over it all the time if you have several outbounds at different holdingpoints.
Further Maps via Euroscope
The following maps are additionally available via Other SET => Display settings, but are disabled by default.
- Cities (Regions)
- Highways (Geo - EDZZ)
- River (Geo - EDZZ)
- all individual Center Lower Sectors and combined as EBG (ARTCC boundary)
- all neighbouring Center sectors (ARTCC boundary)
- FIS boundaries (ARTCC boundary)
Topsky predicted traffic window (APP/CTR)
Especially as Radar Controller it can be really helpful to know, how much traffic is going to enter the own sector in the future, when it will happen and how much aircraft are inside. There you have to enter the SI of the station you would like to see the traffic.
With a left-click on the callsign of a plane, the so-called callsign menu opens in the tag as well as in the lists. There you will find the options to assume/transfer or release a plane (via more => free). You can also enter a missed approach (MAPP) or highlight a callsign and display the flight plan (FPL). APP and CTR can select a holding (HOLD) for the aircraft, coordinate a heading or speed with the neighboring controller (HOP) and request another controller to do the handoff earlier (ROF). Center controllers offering CPDLC have the possibility to start CPDLC for the aircraft and, if necessary, to send a predefined free text to the pilot.
Euroscope Usage - Tower
This guide is aimed at S1 controllers looking to control the minor airports in the FIR Langen. Below you will find a very basic introduction to the actions required to handle departures and arrivals.
Opening Euroscope and switching airports
When you open Euroscope, you will be met with an Open profile file dialog. Open the Tower Ground.prf file. If the dialog does not open for you, uncheck the option Auto load last profile on startup under Other SET in the top taskbar and restart Euroscope.
Once you have opened the correct profile, you will see the following.
It is the radar view of Frankfurt Tower. However, we would like to switch to a different airport. The way this works in Euroscope is by opening a different asr file, which tells Euroscope which lines to draw where. You can do so by clicking on the Open SCT button, which is highlighted in the screenshot.
Open SCT opens the depicted menu, where you can select one of the blue highlighted asr files. If your airport is not listed there, you need to click Open (red arrow). This will open a Windows file dialog where you can select the correct asr from the sector files you downloaded for EDGG [EDGG\EDGG\ASR\Ground or Tower].
select or open different asr files at Euroscope
You can open multiple asr files and press F7 to switch between them. Additionally, you can close asr files in the Open SCT menu.
Additionally, you can open multiple instances of Euroscope to have different views on multiple screens. Connect the first instance as normal and then select To VATSIM via proxy as Select connection mode and enter your credentials.
Connecting to the Network
To connect to the network, click the connect button in the top left. It will open the Connect dialog, where you will have to enter your VATSIM credentials. Additionally, select your station from the dropdown menu. If it is not listed, enter it manually and set the correct Facility. Enter Ground/Delivery (STU1) as your rating. You can choose any server except the Sweatbox. Thereafter press Connect.
Euroscope Connect dialog
You will see your station's ID, in this example, EDFH_TWR, as well as the primary frequency (119.650) in the top left corner if you have connected to the network. However, there are a few more things we need to do before we can start:
Datalink (DCL/PDC) Logon
We use the Topsky Plugin to offer PDC clearances. Read the guide here (German only) for further information. In real life, datalink clearances are not offered at small airports like Hahn or Mannheim. If you do not offer it, you should always remove "PDC/DCL Datalink [XXXX] - " from your controller info.
Activate airport and set active runway
Next, we need to choose and set the active airport and runway. Look at the current METAR, the TAF, and the local SOPs to determine the runway in use. Next, in Euroscope, click on the runway icon in the top menu (red arrow). This will open the Active airport/runway selector dialog. Here you can activate the airport (left two columns) as well as set the departure and arrival airports (see image).
activate airport and set active runways
Set ATIS
We need to set the ATIS (Automatic terminal information service) next. To open the ATIS Setup Dialog, press the letter in the top left (red arrow). This letter is the current ATIS letter. Additionally, I have highlighted the ATIS maker URL. This URL translates the weather and runway data into the ATIS format. To set the ATIS, you need to
- Enter the airport ICAO in capital letters to the ATIS airport field
- Press Get METAR to get the current weather
- Add the correct departure frequency at airports where pilots are supposed to change frequencies automatically after departure by adding &depfreq= and the frequency, for example, "&depfreq=129.350" for EDFM
- Press the Test URL button and check the ATIS in the large text box for errors
- Check the Automatically generate new ATIS using the URL box
- Press the Connect ATIS button to connect the ATIS
If everything is set up correctly, your ATIS Setup Dialog should look like the following. Additionally, the ATIS frequency will be displayed in the top menu bar (red arrow).
ATIS Setup Dialog
Start Audio for Vatsim
Finally, you need to open Audio for Vatsim and press Connect in the top left. It should automatically display the relevant frequencies for you. Press TX and RX (transmit and receive) to listen and speak on the corresponding frequency.
external Audio for Vatsim (AfV) software
If for whatever reason your station is not listed, you can press the + button and enter the ID, e.g. EDFH_GND.
Departures
Once you have completed the above steps and have logged onto the network, the relevant lists will start populating with information you will require to manage your aircraft's state. These are required not only for yourself but also for the adjacent controllers so that they are aware of an aircraft's intentions. An aircraft's state consists of ground states, squawk assignments, etc. which will be further explained in this section. Please note that this is an extremely critical part of controlling and is essential for your success in later trainings/examinations and is therefore mandatory for all controllers.
Departure List
Depicted in the image to the left you can see the "Departure List". This list shows all relevant information for aircraft departing out of your aerodrome. In the lesson, you heard previously, the functionality and meaning of this list were explained.
Departure List
SID Assignment
The plugin vSID will suggest a SID (white) according to the current runways in use and other factors according to the SOP. Usually this SID is the correct one, nevertheless it's within the controllers responsibility to check the suggested SIDs! When the manual plugin mode is used (default mode) the controller need to confirm the suggested SID with a left-click, then the SID is written into the flightplan (SID/RWY) and every controller will see this SID. A SID always need to be green (default assignment) or orange (non-default assignment) when issuing enroute clearance! When changing the runway manually, the SID need to be confirmed thereafter.
When the "Auto Mode" is used (".vsid auto") the SIDs will be set by the plugin and do not need to be confirmed anymore.
vSID is providing several information using different colors. You can find more information regarding the vSID plugin usage in the vSID Controller Manual.
Initial Climb Assignment
vSID suggests (white) the correct initial climb for every SID. It is set when the SID is confirmed. It will also display wether a "climb" (blue) or "climb via SID" (green) instruction is required (e.g. ROTWE SID out of runway 25 in Stuttgart - see image below).
Squawk Assignment
Additionally to completing the SID assignment, you must also assign a squawk to the aircraft. This can be done by simply clicking on the corresponding table row under the "aSSR" header. If you right-click, you can assign a specific squawk code by entering it manually or simply selecting VFR for squawk "7000". Note that yellow squawks are those, that have been assigned, but however not been set by the aircraft yet. After completing this, the list should look similar to that shown in the image.
When using vSID in manual mode, the squawk will automatically be assigned when the SID is confirmed.
All Squawk Codes have been assigned
After completing the above steps, the list should look similar to the one above.
Enroute Clearance
Once you have issued the pilot with an enroute clearance, you set the so-called "clearance received flag" as shown in the image. This can be done by simply left-clicking on the corresponding checkbox. This checkbox acts as a reminder for yourself and for other controllers in the event of a handover to another controller.
All aircraft with the "clearance flag" have received the enroute clearance
Ground States
Ground states are an important aspect of keeping the "big picture" - a phrase you will hear many times throughout your training as a controller. These states not only help you to remember which clearances have been issued to which aircraft but also help the surrounding controllers by informing them of your plan, allowing for a more efficient and coordinated flow of traffic at your aerodrome. These states are propagated to all surrounding controllers making them inevitable for controlling.
Ground states menu
Should you forget to set a ground state, EuroScope will warn you about this by displaying the error above the tag. Please take care and ensure that these states are always up to date.
SUG - Startup Given
Assuming you are able to provide the pilot with a startup clearance you now set the ground state to SUG (Start Up Given). This can be achieved, by clicking on the corresponding row under the "STS" (Status) header. A menu, as shown in the image, will open allowing you to select the appropriate ground state.
PBG - Pushback Given
Once the pilot requests pushback and the clearance has been granted, the ground state is no longer required to be in the SUG state. Instead, we select the PBG (PushBack Given) state which indicates that the aircraft has been cleared for pushback.
Ground Status menu access through the aircraft tag
Note: As you can see in the image, we aren't using the departure list to assign the corresponding ground state. This can also be done directly through the tag!
TXG - Taxi Given
After an aircraft has been issued its taxi clearance the state, once again, changes. In this instance, since the aircraft has been cleared to taxi, the TXG (TaXi Given) state would be selected.
ALU - Approved Lineup
The aircraft has now taxied to its assigned holding point and has been cleared to line up (no takeoff clearance given). The ground state is once again adapted to reflect the current situation of the pilot and is thus set to ALU (Approved LineUp). Note that this step can be ignored if the aircraft has been cleared for takeoff before requiring an explicit lineup clearance.
DEP - Departure
Once the aircraft has been cleared for takeoff, the final state is set. The DEP (DEParture) state shows that this specific aircraft has been cleared for takeoff.
Arrivals
Finally, let's look at handling arrivals. We will look at the tower view first, this is where you will see the arrivals while they are still in the air. You can find it by opening the corresponding XXXX_TWR.asr file.
Once you have given the landing clearance, you can press on the current altitude in the Tag, which will set the cleared-to-land (CTL) flag. This will remind you that you have given the landing clearance.
On the ground screen, you will see the aircraft shortly before it lands. A plugin will determine the arrival stand, it is shown in the aircraft's tag as well as in the arrival list (red arrows). If no stand is set, you can request one by clicking STAND -> AUTO in the aircraft tag. It is recommended to do that before landing, in case the inbound needs to vacate to a specific direction (e.g. south) for a specific stand, and the controller has to inform the pilot prior to landing.
Alias
As there are several ways for a pilot to communicate with ATC, Euroscope has implemented a way to communicate with pilots quickly via text only.
The Alias function allows you to send a predefined message to a pilot by entering a specific command in the command line. For example:
.ctl => Wind 270/8, runway 25 cleared to land.When you type an alias in the command line, it appears in the following format after pressing the space bar.
.clrv => Cleared to $arr, $sid departure, flight planned route, climb via SID to $temp, squawk $squawk.
.t => Taxi to holding point runway $deprwy via $uc($1).There are two different parameters in the aliases.
- $ followed by certain information, for example, $winds. Euroscope enters the current wind automatically
- $ followed by a number, for example, $1. In this case, you have to do a manual input.
Let's make an example:
DLH123 is ready to taxi and is writing on your frequency. To respond, click on the aircraft, type ".t" in the command line, and press the spacebar. You now have the raw alias code that needs to be edited.
DLH123, Taxi to holding point runway $deprwy via $uc($2).
While Euroscope fills in the departure runway automatically by copying the departure list, we have to enter the taxi route manually. Replace the "$2" with the taxi route and press the TAB key. The result should look like this.
DLH123, Taxi to holding point runway $deprwy via $uc(M, L2, K). => DLH123, Taxi to holding point runway 07 via M, L2, K.
Now all you have to do is press Enter to send the clearance to the pilot.
