Which Is The Format?

CAD.txt:

• Format [ICAO AIRPORT],[RATE/H] ex. LEPA,33.
• Each line has an airport with it's value.
• It is possible to create groups of airports with a wildcard on the last 2 digits of the ICAO. ex. (All Germany) -> ED**,10.
• Use # as the first character for a comment.
• Avoid empty lines.

volumes.geojson:

• Here volumes are included to later use them as sectors. To pass the vatglasses data into the required form, it is possible by using this converter: VATGLASSES-CDM-CONVERTER
• MinFL, MaxFL and capacity are a must to have correctly defined airspaces.
• Lateral limits should be defined as Multipolygon (Like Vatspy data).
• To check data by vertical limits, the following website is created (Data from the main branch is used): AIRSPACES-MAP
• ID must be UPPERCASE.

sectors.txt (not used anymore)

• Format <SECTOR Name>:<OCCURRENCE-CAPACITY>:<HOURLY-CAPACITY>:<Volumes> example: LECB-CCC:12:LECB-CCU1,LECB-CCU2,LECB-CCL1,LECB-CCL2.
• HOURLY-CAPACITY: capacity p/h of the sector.
• OCCUPANCY-CAPACITY: capacity is the "maximum simultaneous acft each minute for each airspace" known as "Occupancy" or "Peak".
• To "disable" airspaces, it is possible by setting capcity 999.

procedures.txt

• Format <AIRPORT>:SID:<letters>:STAR:<letters> example: LEBL:SID:Q:STAR:W,Z
  • AIRPORT: ICAO code.
  • letters: last letter of CID, set all the valid letters. Empty if all are valid.
• The decision of which procedure to choose will be:
  • If pilot filed SID/STAR is in the valid list, then it will selected.
  • If pilot does not file a SID/STAR, the first in the list is chosen (order is by given in letters).
• If any can be selected, then direct path will be created.

profile_restrictions.txt

• Format <ICAO_DEP>:<ICAO_DEST>:<WPT>:<FL> example: LPPT,LPFR:*:IMOBA:200
• ICAO_DEP: dep airport (or list of airports "," seperated), "*" to select all dep airports (Ex. LPPT,LPCS).
• ICAO_DEST: dest airport (or list of airports "," seperated), "*" to select all dest airports (Ex. LEBL).
• WPT: Waypoint to be level at.
• FL: numeric value indicating the FL (Ex. 200).

Remark: it will only be respected, if RFL is at or above. Remark: This will override SID/STAR ALT restrictions.
