AIRAC 2512Mark Jansen 2025-12-07 11:13:00 UTC
Update based on AIRAC 2512.
New:
- EHWO runway 07L/25R added.
- LENA AAR track added.
- Several fixes for military used added/amended (Window 1, etc).
Changed:
- Colour of upper airspace boundary (MUAC sectors) changed to light blue, based on real world change.
- Colour of special use airspace (restricted/prohibited/danger) changed to grey/green, based on real world change.
- Several amendments to EHDL, EHGR, EHLW, EHVL and EHWO labels/freetext.
- Special use airspace no longer automatically activated by TopSky, either "always on" or activated by NOTAM. This decision was made to reduce clutter and unncessary airspace restrictions that are usually not into place on VATSIM. Special use airspace can be manually activated and displayed through the AMS/TSA... menu in TopSky, for example if deemed necessary in coordination with EHMC_CTR.

AIRAC 2511Mark Jansen 2025-10-31 08:56:34 UTC
Update based on AIRAC 2511.
New:
- In the Schiphol APP and Amsterdam ACC environments, behaviour has changed when right-clicking the clearance ("C") flag in the DEP list. This will now bring up the PDC/DCL window which allows for amending certain values before issuing the airway clearance.
This requires an update of the Schiphol APP.txt and Amsterdam ACC.txt files, not included in the Update-Package. If you require this change, re-install the Full-Package or manually overwrite these two mentioned files included in the Full-Package.
- Ownership in the Bremen FIR Eider and Friesland sector changed. It now includes Bremen Heide (BMH).

Fixed:
- Complete revision of the fixes, VORs and NDBs shown on the Amsterdam ACC scope, which is now even more accurate than it used to be.
- Moved ground labels for the regional airports to the ESE file to make them free text. Changed free text color to the old label color.
- Added EU WTC indicator to Schiphol APP label as in real life. Also removed the space between aircraft type and HDG/SID.
- Controller list white instead of yellow.
