The Control Room Floor / Re: Workstation Auto-Setup BATCH File
« on: May 23, 2020, 12:39:13 PM »
Cool utility.  Thanks!

What is the possibility of placing  the urls in a file instead of in the batch file?

I'd like to see VATSPY, TeamSpeak and an alias file loaded in notepad++.


I have taken another consideration into creating a "setup" for individual users to select which websites they would want opened but it is an unessessary amount of coding when it is all too obvious how to edit it yourself by clicking "edit" on the .BAT file. I am sorry.

However, I have created a custom bit of code for you to use for opening TeamSpeak and your Notepad++ docuement.

For this to work, Notepad++ MUST be added to your "PATH". For more information on how to do this refer to the attached image and this site: https://www.architectryan.com/2018/03/17/add-to-the-path-on-windows-10/

Copy and paste the following code right below the :DONE function header. Be sure to edit the directoy and file name.

Code: [Select]
cd /D "%programfiles%\TeamSpeak 3 Client"
START "" "ts3client_win64.exe"

CD /D "%userprofile%\ARTCC_ALIAS_FILE_LOCATION"
notepad++ "MyAliasFile.txt"

EDIT: Forgot to attach the image

The URLs into a file for reference would be a little difficult for me as I am still knew at this. It would be easier for you to just edit the .BAT file and add the URLs that you want.

News / ZLC Hired a New FE!
« on: May 20, 2020, 10:53:44 PM »
I am very pleased to announce Nikolas Boling as our new Facility Engineer!

Nik has displayed a great deal of dedication, motivation and initiative in his training here at ZLC along with his passion to help in every department he can.

Initially due to his coding skills, he helped out mostly with the Webmaster side of things and then found a passion for the Facility Files. He has already written a great deal of programs for ARTCC FE's to use in order to make their jobs be a lot easier and is continuing to work on more advanced programs.

Nik and I have already discussed a general 2 year plan to completely revamp the Facilities Department of ZLC and bring more advanced resources to our members.

It is surprising to see a member with no prior experience in any aviation field come into this organization and learn as much as he has already. Thank you Nik and I am very excited to be working with you.

        X-PLANE 11 AUTO FLIGHT
       SETUP BATCH FILE UPDATED
           09APR2020 01:20z

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

1) If a configuration file exist, the user will not be prompted where the X-Plane 11 program is stored (computer vs steam).

2) Added a file browser window for selecting the directory rather than typing or copy/pasting it.

The Flight Deck / X-Plane Auto Startup BATCH File
« on: April 08, 2020, 04:48:22 AM »
This BATCH File will automatically start your X-Plane 11 along with opening many popular websites to help prepare for your flight.

The websites that it opens by default are listed below but is easily editable by the user:

*A google search for your departure and arrival airport x-plane scenery

*A FlightAware analysis for your route

*Skyvector zoomed out to the CONUS and direct routing between your DEP and ARR airports

*AIRNAV pages for your DEP and ARR airports

*Avaition Wx .gov

*Flight plan pre-file pages for both VATSIM and PilotEdge



Download the new file here:

(note- I am sure there are more efficient methods of doing this but I am just now dipping my toes into coding. Starting with Batch and then moving on from there)

MAJOR UPDATE:
  • This BATCH File now will not try to start AFV, vATIS, or DISCORD if not installed on your computer.
  • You are no longer required to have your programs located in the default directory! The file now will prompt you for the location of a program if it can't find it in the default directory, it will then save that location for future uses of the BATCH File. This is done by creating a folder in your Documents directory.
  • Added: HELP option for those that have questions or for basic troubleshooting.
  • UPDATED: The ZLC WORKSTATION CBT presentation.

Check OP for details.

EDIT:
UPDATED 15MAY2020 (Added a version check to make sure you always have the most up to date BATCH File release)

---

Ever got online, primed up and realized you forgot to review something, pull up a website, launch a certain program, etc...

Or... just tired of pulling up all the information and launching all the programs you need to control?


Check this out:
https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/2PACX-1vTTbx5Szs5I8oveHofFnDDkJxYIWHcb7GqfyQYNXE-JtG2BX6_R0BTyj3DwOqFIRNoco1x8_XwgSc0Z/embed



Obviously this BAT file is designed for use by ZLC ARTCC but anyone that knows how to use google could figure out how to edit this for their own use.

I welcome feedback (I am not a serious coder so take it easy) and suggestions for updates!

ZLA's info tool is handy for this not sure if you have checked it out

I have. It used to crash a lot and the entire idea of ISR (in-scope reference) is to not have to go to another program. But it was an awesome tool while I used it.

DVA will forever be discovery air so long as there are pilots misguided enough to fly under it as Delta

😂

Sad ignorant question here... if this is such an issue, has anyone reached out to the VA to encourage them to educate their pilots and possibly even make it a policy to not fly a DVA 3LD?
