Now available for all 22 VATUSA facilities are Traffic Management Maps.  They can be accessed via the VATUSA home page while logged in under the "TMU Maps" menu.


(like traffic moment)

Staff members (ATM, DATM, FE and WM) can modify their TMU Map colors under "Actions" > "TMU Map Management".  Instructions on how to do it are included on the page.

This is great Daniel, thank you so much. One question, after editing the colors is their any way to display a key to users indicating which colors are used for which fields?

Not at the present time, no.  I'm working a clean way of creating keys... so for the time being hovering over aircraft allow you to see basic data on them.

And I want to apologize to everyone for the length of time many had to wait.. higher priority things (VATUSA and rl) and waiting until this looked clean and available to all delayed the publication.

It is setup to allow TMU map setup for sub-facilities as well (IE, larger TRACONs, center areas, etc) and that may roll out in the next week or so.  Facility staff would be required to enter latitude and longitude boundaries for the TMU map when this comes out.

To add:

Traffic updates every minute (an AirStats benefit)
NEXRAD updates every 10-minutes

It appears that some of the colors aren't matching up. Take a look what I setup for ZOA. I don't really know what is causing some planes to show in the proper colors, and others not to.

Example?  Because the column name is also used as the plane icon color as well as the header for the row in the mgt page.. so there isn't any crossings that can happen.

It's working, nevermind.
