Plugins and Functions
CDM Plugin
Currently used Version in Package: v2.2.3
This plugin adds the possibility to control departure flows by calculating startup and departure times. It can only be used in the Tower profiles (PHX). The CDM plugin is only configured for EDDB and EDDH, as those are the only two airports having the A-CDM process implemented in real life.

Arrival Manager (AMAN)
Currently used Version in Package: v3.2.0
This plugin displays every arrival to a certain airport or fix along a timeline thus enhancing the general overview for pre-planning and capacity/load management. The Arrival Manager is not able to actively pre-sequence traffic.
By default, the plugin is not loaded as only EDDB and EDDH are supported aerodromes. The Arrival Manager can be opened by entering ".aman open" in Euroscope's text line. Thereafter, the controller has to select the desired runway config in the top left of the AMAN menu. AMAN functions as a new Euroscope instance thus enabling it to be moved to another screen. You can close the AMAN in your taskbar.

IASsure
Currently used Version in Package: v1.5.0
This plugin enables you to directly see the current indicated airspeed and Mach number in the aircraft's label. Natively, Euroscope and Vatsim do not provide such information. All IAS and Mach values are based on calculations, which may become incorrect when pilots are not flying with real-world and live weather data. Still, this plugin supports the virtual controller immensely.

CCAMS (Centralised code assignment and management system)
Currently used Version in Package: v2.3.1
This plugin coordinates all squawk assignments on Vatsim on a centralized server. Therefore, the chance of issuing duplicated squawks is reduced significantly. Furthermore, the plugin supports the assignment of squawk code 1000 taking into account all required Mode-S rules.

VCH (Virtual Controller Helper)
Currently used Version in Package: v0.8.4
This plugin supports the controller by adding a reminder function to Euroscope. In the Departure and Startup lists, the virtual controller may select for which type of clearance a pilot is standing by. This enhances overall situational awareness and provides a better overview. Also, this plugin adds a "Cleared to Land Indicator" (CTL) which can be toggled in the aircraft's label by clicking on the actual flight level (AFL).
Note: All indicators and settings are not synchronized with neighbouring controllers.

DelHel
Currently used Version in Package: v0.2.0
This plugin helps the controller process flight plans more efficiently. Matching runways, SIDs and initial climbs are automatically assigned depending on the active runway in use. In addition, squawks are assigned automatically in cooperation with the CCAMS plugin. By default, this plugin is not used as it does not support every SID/runway assignment at every airport within Bremen FIR.
Current supported aerodromes are: EDDH, EDDV, EDDW, EDXW, EDHL, EDVE, EDVK, EDHK, EDWI, EDWE, EDAH, EDBH, EDBM, EDBN, EDAY, EDAZ and ETNL

RG Bremen Plugin
Currently used Version in Package: v1.2.2
Created by Vatsim member Sebastian Kramer, this plugin is used to display the "climb via SID" indicator in the Departure and Startup lists. The indicator will either show "YES" if the phrase "climb via SID" should be used or "NO" if not.
