v0.4.5.0

(CHANGED) Halo tool and PTL menus now implemented and match the real-world UI.
(CHANGED) PTL length can be modified.
(CHANGED) Altitude filter menu UI now more closely resembles the real-world counterpart.
(NEW) NARDS style tags can now be displayed on tower screens (WIP as of FEB08). Caution, all tags will be opened upon returning to radar view.
(FIXED) Fixes in the electronic radar release system
(CHANGED) Left-clicking the PPS opens and closes tags (previously double clicking ACID or bravo-tag altitude)
(CHANGED) Left-clicking the ACID displays the aircafts route. (previously left clicking the AC Type)
(CHANGED) "All" button behaviour has changed: shows alpha tags for all aircraft and ignores alt filters.
(CHANGED) RVSM PPS now show middle line regardless of PSR/SSR status (updated to match r/w symbology).
(NEW) Jurisdictional aircraft counter on the top-left of the QAB.
(NEW) Weather radar -- can customize center point of radar image by editing settings.json in folder situWx in ES folder. The first time you run ES with the plugin, the default location is 0, 0. Restart ES to see changes take effect.
(NEW) Added symbology for block SSR (currently only set to 1200: will display as a hollow triangle) -- plan to be able to customize the SSR range ini the future.

v0.4.0.1

0.4.0.1

1. (NEW)ADSB capable aircraft outside of radar coverage display as an ADS-B PPS with modifiable datatags.
2. (NEW)SFI and controller remark handling (see wiki)
3. Assigned speed and mach now displayed in data tag and assignable by right or left clicking the ground speed.
4. (NEW)Communication type now indicated in first line of tag.
5. (NEW)A means of non-verbally requesting IFR release has been added as a custom tag field and function.
6. (NEW)Situ will only display on .asr files that are marked as IFR. Local positions will no longer display the Situ plugin nor the PPS/tags.
7. (NEW)"Ext" when toggled can display the extended altitude line on alpha tags.
8. (NEW)MEDEVAC indicator will display on line 1 of the tag if a plane has filed STS/MEDEVAC in the remarks
9. (FIXED) PTL direction was not accurate when not using mag north. Now working regardless of scope rotation.
10. (UPDATED) Altitude filters are ignored for aircraft tracked by the controller

v3.1.2

EDIT (DEC3):
The plugin takes over rendering tags, so you will get "doubled tags" unless you disable ES' default tags. I've had some reports of unusual results when trying to edit the ES default tags to hide them. To simplify things, please backup your "CAATS_TAG_definations.txt" (sic) and replace it with the one attached below (it should get rid of the ES default tags).

Version 0.3.1.2
(NEW) Radar target tags are now drawn by the plugin. Tag functions remain in click spots from stock Canscope installs to facilitate an easier transition. Please note, I cannot find examples of direct-to and temp headings displayed in the tags of reference material I have access to, as such these are not shown (but you can assign them using the click spot or scractpad box to label for other controllers).
a) Tag connectors are now drawn with a dogleg in a similar style to the real scope. Connector will display an amber circle if aircraft is ADSB capable.
b) Datatags now 'wink' during squawk ident and handoff events
c) Handoff tag handling behaviour modelled. Aircraft handed off to you will have its tag wink. After handoff, tags will wink and then revert to a "Bravo Tag" (less detailed) automatically. An option in the real software is to enable "H/O Persist" (planned for next version to allow you to choose).
d) Scratchpad content with one or two characters displays on line 1 as the SFI (one letter field after the callsign used by some FIRs). Longer scratchpad strings display on the last line of tag as "Controller Rermarks".
(NEW) Quick Look button is now functional. Data tags moved during quick look will remain open.
(NEW) Show "All" targets now a functional button.
(NEW) PTL drawn in a green colour now implemented (fixed at 3 mins at the moment).
(UPDATED) CJS during handoff events have been tweaked and no longer show the frequency (this behaviour was clarified using new source material.
(UPDATED) CJS will now wink white during a H/O warning event rather than disappear and reappear.
(UPDATED) CTP specific feature removed, will be a separate plugin for future events.

v0.3.0.0 CTP

CTP Builds of the plugin.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
Please be sure to use the latest build, If you do not use the latest build, your CTP approved pilot list will be out of date or unavailable. The final versions to use are:

1. VATCANSitu302RC.zip
2. VATCANSitu303minRC.zip
3. VATCANSitu0306RCVATUSA

Coming from a default ES install (with Canscope) I recommend the minimum version.

2 versions are available:

1. Minimum, optimized for default configurations and with performance considerations.
2. Full suite with prior VATCANSitu features.

Please see CTP documents from your FIR for use during CTP.

Code on the 'CTP', 'CTP-minimal', and 'VATUSA' branches

v0.2.4.5

Flight Plan Tracks now display with the orange bird symbology.
Changed logic for displaying ADSB tags for non-radar aircrafts for now (still WIP)
Actually added the code for 7600 and 7700 aircraft (7500 gives you the boot on VATSIM so not implemented)

hotfix 245a (had a typo causing reversed logic, whoops)

v0.2.4.1

Hotfix for squawk standby overlapping with other target

v0.2.4

Added PPS for RVSM aircraft, added squawk standby PPS, Squawk ID feature.

v0.2.3

Altitude filters implemented for tags draw by the plugin. Match the ES built in filters and VFR tags will no longer show when they don't show in ES. Altitude filters will save to the SCT file that is currently opened.

v0.2.2

compiled with static libraries to assure no dependency issues.

v0.2.1

Hotfix for 0.2.1 compiled with Multi-character encoding. Should improve compatibility across systems.
