# ATC Software # Euroscope Installation Euroscope is a very powerful software used for the Air Traffic Controller (ATC) on the Vatsim network. It is important to setup the software correctly, before controlling. It will take some time until you feel familiar with it. ## Installation You can download Euroscope at [https://www.euroscope.hu/wp/installation/](https://www.euroscope.hu/wp/installation/). Please install the software into a directory of your choice and follow the instruction of the Euroscope Download and Install page.

Recently, a new Euroscope version (3.2.4) has been released. This version has been reported to cause issues. The most recent known-good version of Euroscope is available here: **[https://euroscope.hu/install/EuroScopeSetup.3.2.3.msi](https://euroscope.hu/install/EuroScopeSetup.3.2.3.msi)** For further information check your respective NAV team's announcements.

In order to enable all (future) plugins to load and run correctly, we **highly recommend** to install the current Windows Runtime: [https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc\_redist.x86.exe](https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x86.exe)! [![NAV_Euroscope_Setup_EDDF.png](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2022-10/scaled-1680-/nav-euroscope-setup-eddf.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2022-10/nav-euroscope-setup-eddf.png) *Frankfurt Tower - Radar View* ## Audio for Vatsim (AfV) To use **voice communication** you have to install the additional software [Audio for Vatsim](https://audio.vatsim.net/docs/2.0/atc/euroscope "Audio for Vatsim - Download"). After that, run the software and check the settings for your audio devices and enter your ID and password. While controlling, it's recommended to run the software as administrator to work correctly in the background. For **push to talk** we recommend the **left ctrl (Strg)** button at your keyboard. If you have a primary frequency set in Euroscope, AfV will set it's frequency automatically after clicking on "connect". ## Initial Setup After installing the software you still need the sectorfile, where you get all local data from you need for controlling. **Additional to the sectorfile we offer a variety of files and plugins pre installed, so that this package is ready to use for you.** You can download the different packages for each FIR at [files.aero-nav.com/EDXX](http://files.aero-nav.com/EDXX "Euroscope Packages - Germany"). Download the package and create a folder anywhere you like (recommended at C:\\Users\\me\\Documents\\EuroScope). For a better overview we recommend to name the folder according to the FIR where the data is coming from (EDGG, EDMM or EDWW). Copy all provided data into the folder in the same structure as download, as it will not work otherwise! **Select a Profile:** After you've done the above steps, you can open Euroscope and you are prompted to select a profile (.prf file). Choose one of the provided ones and you are ready to use Euroscope and all it's features. Different views and airports are already predefined. Therefore you have to click on "OPEN SCT" in the green colored menu bar and select one of the listed .asr files or load one of other provided files via the "Open..." menu.

*Open a new .asr file for different views* *Disable "auto load" and "auto save"*
If you would like to open a different profile over the time or you have some problems with different views (e.g. you have choosen the "wrong" profile), it's highly recommended to disable the "Auto load last profile on startup" and "Auto save profile on exit" items to always select the profile manually.

You can find these options at **OTHER SET** at the top menu bar of Euroscope.

### Login as Observer You can always login as observer (OBS). Open your profile of choice and click on "Connect" at the upper left corner. As Callsign we suggest to use *XX\_OBS* with XX replaced by your initials (the \_OBS at the end is required). Enter your ID and password, check your rating (probably observer), choose your server and you can connect to Vatsim. ### **Listen to the Frequency:** In order to listen to other controllers, you have to open AfV and click on connect thereafter. Then you need to click on the small "+" to enter the station Login into the search window you would like to listen to (e.g. EDDF\_S\_TWR). You will get a selection of frequencies to listen to. Click on *RX* and you will hear the controller and the pilots on that frequency. *[![NAV_AfV_Setup.png](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2022-10/scaled-1680-/nav-afv-setup.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2022-10/nav-afv-setup.png) Audio for Vatsim when logged in as Observer* **Select the active airport and runways:** It is also recommended to activate the airport and it's select runways. Only if the airport is selected, you can see information in the different lists (e.g. you will only see Frankfurt departures in the departliste list, if EDDF is activated). Simply click on the runway symbol at the menu bar at the top, activate the airport for ARR and DEP, chose the runway and you can see everything the controller sees as well. **Reset visual point:** If you can't see any traffic as Observer even if there should be some, it might be your visual point is to far away from the airport you are looking at.

To reposition your center of view, enter **.vis** into the command line at the bottom and click into the scope. Your center of view is repositioned thereafter.

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](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVma1piN5cI "Topsky Austria Manual 1") and [Part 2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KBBnUFVaCE "Topsky Austria Manual 1")). 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.. *[![EDGG_Phoenix_Tower_EDDF.png](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2022-10/scaled-1680-/edgg-phoenix-tower-eddf.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2022-10/edgg-phoenix-tower-eddf.png) 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. **To use all available features, it is recommended to use the [current beta version of Euroscope](https://www.euroscope.hu/wp/2022/05/08/v3-2-1-34/)!** **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. **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! **EDDF Apron: **This profile is designed to represent a most realistic ground view of Frankfurt Apron. ### 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. [![EDGG_EDDF_APN_PHX.png](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2022-10/scaled-1680-/edgg-eddf-apn-phx.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2022-10/edgg-eddf-apn-phx.png)*Frankfurt Ground View* # Lists Langen FIR

The Lists has changed with AIRAC 2401 (25. January 2024) for harmonisation within all three FIRs. Detailed documentation will follow by ATD. Most of the items are still the same as discribed below.

### 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. [![EDGG_Departure_List.png](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2022-10/scaled-1680-/edgg-departure-list.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2022-10/edgg-departure-list.png)

# 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.

The top menu bar can be unpinned by clicking on the small icon on the left. Thereafter the menus below (e.g. Topsky) can be accessed (slowly and careful). To get the menu back, just hover in the area of the menu bar and it will show up again.

### Virtual Controller Helper (VCH) This plugin offers some useful but minor features like the cleared to land flag as well as the request list. For all requests for clearance, startup, pushback, etc. the "REQ" column inside the Departure and Startup List should be used. ### 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!

### Flightplan Checker (FPC) [Flightplan Checker](https://github.com/hpeter2/VFPC "Github") 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. ### Delivery Helper (DelHel) [Delivery Helper](https://github.com/MorpheusXAUT/DelHel "Github") helps the Delivery controller to get through the initial data work for outbound traffic. It sets the correct SID and initial climb for all airports within the Langen FIR except EDDF, EDFH and EDTL! By default this plugin is disabled and can be enabled by using the filter F within the Departure and Startup list. With a left click in the lists the primary used SID will be assigned. With a right click the secondary used SID will be assigned (e.g. SIDs for props).

When using **.delhel auto** only the primary SIDs will be assigned for all outbounds. That is the reason why this command should be used only for EDDS, EDDL, EDLP, EDLW, EDSB, EDLN and EDLV.

### 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!

# 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.

Groundradar Menu at the top => Settings => Labels => Ground -- **DEP X**

### Display all Tags at the ground (GND/TWR) By default all tags without any status (e.g. SUG, PBG) are disabled to keep the scope as clean as possible. If you would like to see all tags you can simply hover over the Groundradar menu at the top or turn on all labels via the menu.

Groundradar menu at the top => Settings => Labels => Ground => **NoState remove X**

### 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.

Topsky menu at the top => STS => Supervisory => Predicted Traffic

### Topsky Callsign Menu 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. [![EDFF_Euroscope_init.png](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2022-11/scaled-1680-/edff-euroscope-init.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2022-11/edff-euroscope-init.png) 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 \[EDGG\\EDGG\\ASR\\Ground or Tower\]. [![EDFF_Euroscope-open-sct.png](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-10/scaled-1680-/edff-euroscope-open-sct.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-10/edff-euroscope-open-sct.png) *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. [![EDFF_Euroscope_connect.png](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2022-11/scaled-1680-/edff-euroscope-connect.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2022-11/edff-euroscope-connect.png)*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 ](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/books/lehrbuch-delivery/chapter/datalink-clearance-dcl-pre-departure-clearance-pdc "Datalink Clearance")(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). [![EDFF_rwy_sel.png](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2022-11/scaled-1680-/edff-rwy-sel.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2022-11/edff-rwy-sel.png)*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). **[![EDDS_ATIS_new.png](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-10/scaled-1680-/edds-atis-new.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-10/edds-atis-new.png)** [![EDDS_ATIS_Dialog.png](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-10/scaled-1680-/edds-atis-dialog.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-10/edds-atis-dialog.png) *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. [![EDFF_EDFH_afv.png](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2022-11/scaled-1680-/edff-edfh-afv.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2022-11/edff-edfh-afv.png)*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. [![EDDS_DepartureList.png](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-02/scaled-1680-/edds-departurelist.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-02/edds-departurelist.png) *Departure List* #### SID Assignment Once an aircraft shows up in your departure list it is your responsibility to assign the correct SID (Standard Instrument Departure). Once again the procedure was explained to you in the lesson prior. You will notice that unconfirmed SIDs are colored orange, whilst confirmed SIDs are colored green. EuroScope will automatically fill out a value based on precedence, however, this value may not always be correct. In order to change this, you click on the SID and select the correct SID in the corresponding selection menu - as shown in the image. The SID will now turn green meaning it has been confirmed by you as the controller. *[![EDDS_DepartureList_SID.png](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-02/scaled-1680-/edds-departurelist-sid.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-02/edds-departurelist-sid.png) The SID selection menu; confirmed SIDs turn green* #### Initial Climb Assignment After confirming the correct SID you also have to set the corresponding initial climb. To do so, click either left or right on the corresponding table tow under the "CLMB" header. Now you can select the correct initial climb altitude. [![EDDS_DepartureList_CLMB.png](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-02/scaled-1680-/edds-departurelist-clmb.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-02/edds-departurelist-clmb.png) *In EDDS, all initial climbs are 5000ft, therefore we selected A50* #### 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. [![EDDS_DepartureList_aSSR.png](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-02/scaled-1680-/edds-departurelist-assr.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-02/edds-departurelist-assr.png) *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. ***[![EDDS_States_C_new.png](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-02/scaled-1680-/KZQedds-states-c-new.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-02/KZQedds-states-c-new.png) ****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. 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. [![EDDS_States_No Push.png](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-02/scaled-1680-/edds-states-no-push.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-02/edds-states-no-push.png) #### 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. *[![EDDS_States_SUG_new.png](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-02/scaled-1680-/edds-states-sug-new.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-02/edds-states-sug-new.png) The Ground Status selection menu* The Departure List would now look as follows: [![EDDS_DepartureList_States2.png](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-02/scaled-1680-/edds-departurelist-states2.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-02/edds-departurelist-states2.png) *GEC29M has received its "startup clearance"* #### 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. [![EDDS_States_PBG_new.png](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-02/scaled-1680-/edds-states-pbg-new.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-02/edds-states-pbg-new.png) *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. [![EDDS_States_TXG.png](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-02/scaled-1680-/edds-states-txg.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-02/edds-states-txg.png) #### 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. [![EDDS_States_ALU.png](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-02/scaled-1680-/edds-states-alu.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-02/edds-states-alu.png) #### 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. [![EDDS_States_DEP.png](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-02/scaled-1680-/edds-states-dep.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-02/edds-states-dep.png) ### 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. [![EDFF_EDDS_arr.png](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2022-11/scaled-1680-/edff-edds-arr.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2022-11/edff-edds-arr.png) 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. [![EDFF_CTL.png](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2022-11/scaled-1680-/edff-ctl.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2022-11/edff-ctl.png) 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. ### [![EDFF_EDDS_GRP_gate.png](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2022-11/scaled-1680-/edff-edds-grp-gate.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2022-11/edff-edds-grp-gate.png) 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).* *[![EDFF_Alias_1](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-06/scaled-1680-/screenshot-1.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-06/screenshot-1.png)* [![EDFF_Alias_2](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-06/scaled-1680-/screenshot-2.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-06/screenshot-2.png) 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.

You can find a list of all available alias codes in the sector files you downloaded for EDGG \[EDGG\\EDGG\\Alias\\alias.txt\].

# Euroscope Setup - FIR München Enthält Informationen zur Installation von Euroscope, Audio for VATSIM sowie den Bezug, die Installation und Update des aktuellen Starterpackage. # Installation Euroscope Um auf VATSIM controllen zu können verwenden wir eine Software namens "Euroscope". Diese stellt die Basis dar, wird ständig weiterentwickelt und viele Funktionalitäten durch Plugins ergänzt. - Zuerst muss von der Adresse[ https://www.euroscope.hu/wp/installation/](https://www.euroscope.hu/wp/installation/) die Stable-Version von Euroscope (ES) heruntergeladen und installiert werden. Dabei handelt es sich um eine "\*.msi"-Datei. Verwendet bitte die vorgeschlagenen Einstellungen auch in Bezug auf das **Installationsverzeichnis**. # Installation Audio for VATSIM Für die Abbildung des Funkverkehrs wird eine eigenständige Software "AfV - Audio for VATSIM" eingesetzt. Diese ist unabhängig von ES und separat zu installieren. Eine Anleitung dazu findet ihr hier: Step 2 - [https://audio.vatsim.net/docs/2.0/atc/euroscope](https://audio.vatsim.net/docs/2.0/atc/euroscope) Es spielt keine Rolle ob dieser Client vor oder nach dem Starten von ES ausgeführt wird. Bevor ihr das erste mal online geht stellt bitte in den "Settings" sicher das ihr eure VATSIM-ID mit Kennwort sowie eure korrekten Kommunikationsgeräte für Mikrofon und Headset eingestellt sind. Weiterhin muss für das Senden eine Push-To-Talk-Taste (PTT) definiert werden. Hier hat sich die STRG-Taste bewährt. [![AfV Settings.png](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-01/scaled-1680-/afv-settings.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-01/afv-settings.png)

Achtung: Bitte verwendet für die PTT-Taste keine Funktionstasten (die sind bereits durch ES belegt) und auch nicht die PTT-Taste die ihr in TeamSpeak hinterlegt habt.

# Download Starterpaket Nachdem die eigentliche Software installiert ist bedarf es noch der Daten die zum Controllen notwendig sind. Dazu gehören z. B. die Groundlayouts unserer Airports, sämtliche Navigationspunkte, die zuvor angesprochenen Plugin, sämtliche RG-spezifischen Einstellungen und noch vieles mehr. Dieses sog. "Starterpaket" kann und muss unter dieser Adresse bezogen werden: [http://files.aero-nav.com/EDMM](http://files.aero-nav.com/EDMM). Wir beiten euch drei Pakete an: - Das **EDMM Full-Package**; dieses enthält **ALLE **notwendigen Daten, ist für eine Ersteinrichtung essentiell und so konfiguriert das man hinterher sofort mit dem Controllen beginnnen kann. - Das **EDMM Full-Update-Package**: dieses entspricht im Aufbau prinzipiell dem EDMM Full-Package; allerdings werden beim Installieren bestimmte, schon vorhandene persönliche, Einstellungen nicht überschrieben. Welche Einstellungen das sind und wie diese überhaupt angelegt werden können wird zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt und ebenfalls in diesem Manual behandelt. - Das **EDMM AIRAC-Update-Package**: hierbei handelt es sich nur um die reinen Daten aus den Sectorfiles; diese werden normalerweise automatisch gezogen sobald ES geöffnet ist. Die Pakete liegen als komprimierte Datei im zip- oder 7z-Format vor. Während der Installation von ES wurde unter "...\\Dokumente\\" ein Unterverzeichnis "Euroscope\\" als Arbeitsverzeichnis angelegt. In diesem findet ihr ein Unterverzeichnis "Files". Falls diese Verzeichnise nicht existieren legt ihr es bitte manuell an. Nun müssen nur noch die Dateien aus den zip-Dateien des Starterpakets nach "\\Dokumente\\Euroscope\\Files" kopiert werden. Bitte achtet auf zwei Dinge: 1. Der Inhalt der zip-Dateien muss wirklich 1:1 in dem o. g. Verzeichnispfad landen 2. Die zip-Dateien dürfen **nicht** in das **Installationsverzeichnis** von ES (also irgendwo unter "C:\\Programme") entpackt werden. Hier hat das Programm keine Schreibrechte und es kann zu Fehlern kommen. # Konfiguration Euroscope Starte jetzt das Programm Euroscope. Es ist erstmal nicht wichtig, was du jetzt auf dem Radarschirm siehst. In der grünen Leiste oben gibt es eine Schaltfläche “OTHER SET”. Entferne dort bitte den Haken bei “Auto load last profile on startup”. [![Other Set.png](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-01/scaled-1680-/other-set.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-01/other-set.png) Schließe Euroscope wieder. Starte Euroscope erneut. Jetzt öffnet sich ein Fenster “Open profile”. Navigiere zu "...\\Dokumente\\Euroscope\\Files\\". Dort befindet sich, abhängig von deinen Einstellungen, eine Datei "TWR\_REAL" oder "TWR\_REAL.prf". Wähle diese aus und öffne die Datei. Sei nicht verunsichert, wenn es diesmal etwas mehr Zeit zum Laden benötigt. Wenn du alles richtig gemacht hast, solltest du jetzt das Bodenlayout des Flughafens München sehen. Möchtest Du ein anderes Layout, z. B. die Towerview von München oder gar das Layout von einem anderen Airport öffnen, musst Du die entsprechende ASR-Datei auswählen. Dies geschieht über: [![Open SCT.png](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-01/scaled-1680-/tCgopen-sct.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-01/tCgopen-sct.png) [![Open File.png](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-01/scaled-1680-/gmeopen-file.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-01/gmeopen-file.png) Die ASR-Dateien sind unter "...\\EDMM\\ASR\\TWR\_REAL" und ggf. in einem Unterverzeichnis "Minor" gespeichert. # Update Starterpaket Die Starterpakete unterliegen einer ständigen Aktualisierung. Plugin werden weiterentwickelt, neue Funktionalitäten kommen dazu - wir wollen uns doch "so nah wie es nur geht an der Realität bewegen". Daher wird immer aller vier Wochen donnerstags ein neuer AIRAC-Cycle veröffentlicht. Dieser enthält die von der DFS veröffentlichten neuen Daten für die Sectorfiles und wird vom NAV-Team um die o. g. Funktionalitäten ergänzt. Daher ist es notwendig das ihr euch auch aller vier Wochen ein neues Starterpaket installiert um auf dem Stand der Dinge zu sein. Nur so ist auch eine korrekte Funktion der Software ES gewährleistet. Ob sich etwas und was sich geändert hat erfahrt ihr regelmässig in diesem Thread im FIR-München internen Forum: - [https://board.vatsim-germany.org/threads/nav-news.70046/](https://board.vatsim-germany.org/threads/nav-news.70046/) Am Besten gleich mit "Beobachten" markieren, dann verpasst ihr nichts. Sobald dort Aktualisierungen angekündigt werden, folgt ihr bitte wieder den Schritten aus [Download Starterpaket](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/books/atc-software/page/download-starterpaket) und installiert euch das **EDMM Full-Update-Package.**

Achtung: Für das **Full-Update-Package** gibt es noch eine Besonderheit. Dieses ist eigentlich dafür konzipiert das es auch bei laufendem Betrieb von ES automatisch installiert werden kann. Das Problem dabei ist das DLL-Dateien der Plugin nur aktualisiert werden können wenn sie nicht in Benutzung sind. Deshalb ist hier diese Vorgehensweise zu beachten: Für jedes Plugin gibt es in diesem **Full-Update-Package** ein Unterverzeichnis "...\\EDMM\\Plugins\\**ManualUpdates**\\<Plugin-Name>\\" Aus diesem muss dann manuell die jeweilige Datei in das korrespondierende Verzeichnis "...\\EDMM\\Plugins\\<Plugin-Name\\" kopiert werden.

# Euroscope Befehle und Alias #### Prolog Euroscope und die implementierten PlugIn bieten die Möglichkeit über Befehle bestimmte Funktionen zu steuern oder Aktionen auszuführen. Mit einem Alias wird dem Controller die Möglichkeit gegeben, Standardphrasen (gerade bei Textpiloten) schnell zu erstellen und zu versenden, ohne jedes Mal den kompletten Text von Hand einzugeben. #### Handhabung Jeder Befehl / Alias beginnt erstmal mit einem **"."** \[Punkt\] und wird in die Euroscope Befehlsleiste eingegeben. Wir müssen zwischen drei verschiedenen Verfahrensweisen unterscheiden:
1. Eigenständige Befehle Diese beginnen mit einem Punkt, gefolgt von dem Befehl, eventuellen Parametern und werden mit der ENTER-Taste ausgelöst. Dabei ist es unerheblich ob ein Tag / Label ausgewählt ist. *Beispiel:* `.delhel auto` 2. Befehle, die mit einem Flieger in Verbindung stehen Dazu wird zuerst der Befehl eingegeben und danach das Tag / Label angeklickt. *Beispiel:* `.chat` \[Klick auf Tag / Label\] Eine Alternative wäre: `.chat [Callsign]`, also `.chat TUI1RG` 3. Alias, um Textnachrichten an den Flieger zu senden Hierbei ist es erforderlich zuerst das Tag / Label auszuwählen (Kontrolle Callsign in der Status- oder Kopfzeile von Euroscope) und danach die Textnachricht über den Alias vorzubereiten und zu versenden. Um dies zu realisieren sind mindestens zwei Schritte erforderlich. *Beispiel 1:* `.rbc` \[Leertaste\] der Befehl wird auf „readback correct“ aufgelöst und kann nun mit der ENTER-Taste verschickt werden. *Beispiel 2:* `.co` \[Leertaste\] der Befehl wird auf „Contact $radioname($1) on frequency $freq($1), good bye!“ aufgelöst. Der Fokus ist bereits auf das „$1“ gesetzt. Hier wird einfach das Stationskürzel aus der Controllerlist eingesetzt, z. B. „man“. Wenn ihr jetzt die TABULATOR-Taste drückt, erfolgt die Auflösung auf „Contact Muenchen Radar on frequency 123.900, good bye!“ Nun kann der Text mit Druck auf die ENTER-Taste an den zuvor selektierten Flieger verschickt werden.
##### Übersicht über die wichtigsten Befehle

# VCCS VCCS ist ein Tool zur Koordination zwischen den Stationen, das von Euroscope zur Verfügung gestellt wird. Der große Vorteil gegenüber der normalen TeamSpeak-Koordination ist, dass beide Lotsen nicht auf demselben TeamSpeak-Server sein müssen. So kann z.B. der Lotse in Langen problemlos mit seinem Kollegen in Brüssel telefonieren. Mittlerweile ist VCCS in allen VATGER NAV Packages verfügbar und vollständig konfiguriert. In diesem Artikel zeigen wir dir, wie du VCCS richtig einrichtest und benutzt. #### Einrichtung Wenn du dein entsprechendes Euroscope Profil öffnest, findest du auf deinem Bildschirm das "TS VCCS mini control". Es sieht wie folgt aus: [![VCCS mini control.png](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-11/scaled-1680-/vccs-mini-control.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-11/vccs-mini-control.png) *TS VCCS mini control* Sollte dies nicht der Fall sein, kannst du es dir unter "QUICK SET" - "Show TS VCCS mini control" einblenden. [![VCCS QUICK SET.png](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-11/scaled-1680-/vccs-quick-set.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-11/vccs-quick-set.png) Öffne nun mit einem Rechtsklick auf "NO CALL" den "TeamSpeak VCCS Dialog". Alternativ kann der Dialog auch direkt über "OTHER SET" - "VCCS dialog" geöffnet werden. [![VCCS OTHER SET.png](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-11/scaled-1680-/vccs-other-set.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-11/vccs-other-set.png) Du solltest jetzt folgendes Fenster sehen. [![VCCS Dialog2.png](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-11/scaled-1680-/vccs-dialog2.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-11/vccs-dialog2.png) *Teamspeak VCCS Dialog* Hier siehst du dein "Telefonbuch". Je nach FIR findest du die entsprechenden Stationen unter "DIRECT ACCESS 1 - 3". Am Beispiel Langen findest du auf der 1. Seite Frankfurt und Stuttgart. Auf der 2. Seite sind Düsseldorf, Köln, Münster, Dortmund und einige kleinere Flughäfen. Alle Center-Sektoren, mit denen Langen zu tun hat, sind auf der 3. Je nach FIR kann die Aufteilung natürlich variieren. Klicke jetzt auf "EDIT", um VCCS fertig einzurichten. [![VCCS Setup.png](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-11/scaled-1680-/vccs-setup.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-11/vccs-setup.png) *VCCS setup Dialog* Nun gibst du deine VATSIM CID unter "Nickname" ein. Unter Devices musst du dein Mikrofon und deine Kopfhörer/Lautsprecher auswählen. So können du und dein Koordinationspartner einander hören. Zuletzt definierst du unter "G2G PTT" noch eine Push-to-talk (PTT) Taste, die du zum Sprechen drückst. Standardmäßig ist dies "ALT". Bestätige alles mit einem Klick auf "OK" und du bist startklar. #### Koordinieren Um eine Station anzurufen, klickst du lediglich auf den Button der zu rufenden Station. Natürlich kannst du nur mit einer Station reden, welche auch online ist. Den Status siehst du wie folgt. - Station ist **ROT** umrandet - Station ist offline - Station ist **GELB **umrandet - Station ist online, aber lotst mit einer veralteten Euroscope Version und ist daher nicht erreichbar - Station ist **GRÜN** umrandet - Station ist online und du kannst anrufen (TWR CENTER oben im Bild) Sobald du die Taste drückst, wird dein Koordinationspartner angerufen. Nachdem er abgenommen hat, kannst du sprechen, indem du deine definierte PTT-Taste drückst. Zum Auflegen drückst du entweder "LINE 1" im "mini control" oder "END" im VCCS-Dialog. Alternativ kann eine Station auch über die Controller List angerufen werden. Dazu klickst du mit der rechten Maustaste auf die entsprechende Station und wählst "Call on VCCS". [![Controller List.png](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-11/scaled-1680-/controller-list.png)](https://knowledgebase.vatsim-germany.org/uploads/images/gallery/2023-11/controller-list.png) Wenn du angerufen wirst, hörst du einen Klingelton und siehst "LINE 1" blinken. Nimm mit einem Linksklick ab. Der Rest ist wie gerade beschrieben. Viel Spaß beim Koordinieren!
