This version will let you select active runways for depaerture and arrival.

Select the departing runway will show the available SIDs.

STARs for the airport are also listed

A suggestion for you Dave. Dont know if its possible though...

In real life, ATCs have their Flight Progress Strip at hand at least 20 minutes prior to handover from another controller. In FSOPEN Flight Strip Software, I cant read the strip until its handed over to me, and thats about the same time the pilot contacts me...

Wouldnt it be nice to be able to plan ahead, by being able to have the Flight Progress Strip available at least a few minutes prior to the aircraft arrives into your airspace...?

Is this possible Dave?

Hi Victor,

I'm not sure many people want or need this. Handovers would become a two stage affair, and If ATC is busy then I doubt this will happen.

However, there is nothing to stop you looking at the flight strips coming your way. Perhaps it might be better to highlight this on the left rather then just colouring in the strip as black if controlled by another ATC.

Dave.

Would it be possible to show the full flightstrip when you hover over it while black on the left hand side - so that you can see the current assigned level and the routing. That would be a big help - would allow you to plan levels for other aircraft if you know where future planes are coming from and how high.

Yes it would, I'll add it to the list.

I've also been playing with showing SIDs and STARs graphically.

Thought it might be fun!

There is a new version up now that gives you a map for Sids/Stars.

It's not as good as I thought it would be but it's ok.

I've still got to improve bits of it
