Thanks to everyone who provided feedback - the sector file packages have been updated to include some of the requested changes.

Cycle 1713 brings a new ground layout to Riga airport, and the newly recorded ATIS files ensure compatibility with the Latvia ATIS maker. Any problems, questions, suggestions: janeks.tompolskis@lv-vacc.org

Thanks to Tom Earl for helping to test and troubleshoot the changes, and to Tomass Stalgis for providing an insight into the real world ATIS system.

The update package have been released with new ATIS files to reflect the ATIS of the real world airport. Without this updated version, your ATIS will not work, but will give errors about missing files. Please extract the entire ZIP into the existing installation location.

The update includes the changing of stands 26-29 to reflect new numbers.

In the coming days, ther long-awaited new scenery will be released for Riga. We're currently working with JustSim, the developers, and we are updating the sector file to reflect the ground layout of that scenery. Another package update can be expected in the next few days when this is complete.

Thanks for your patience. As always, please e-mail any comments, errors or suggestions to me: janeks.tompolskis@lv-vacc.org

A test version of the new sector has been released (Package_Update_2017_EVRR_NewGroundLayout).

The ground layout has been completely reworked to match the real world, and plugins have been updated. There's also a feature of the latest EuroScope beta in the Ground ASR file which enables the controller to see the airport in a horizontal orientation, which makes it easier when using a normal landscape monitor.

This version will not change any of your profiles, symbology, display, etc. settings.

If you notice any bugs, problems, etc., please contact me on Skype or by e-mail: janeks.tompolskis@lv-vacc.org

Huge thanks go to Stanley Yorke and Arturs Akimovs for their painstaking hard work creating the new layout.

We've compiled new "complete" and "update" packages.

The "complete" package (called Package_Final) includes all the needed files for Euroscope to work, (login profiles, frequency lists, servers, sector files, ATIS files, and the relevant ICAO and AIRAC information).

The "update" package (called Package_Update) includes all the updated files with each new AIRAC cycle, and any fixes which may be implemented (frequency changes, new ATC positions, procedures, etc.). This package will not overwrite your existing settings, login information (CID and password saved, server, controller information lines), it will just bring your sector installation up to the latest navigation data and AIP release.

The update package contains only the files which necessarily have to be replaced. No setting files (for individual settings) will be overwritten. The provided updated setting files have to be copied manually from the full package in case you want to use them.
