Preliminary BAY_TWR sector?

[feathers]

I was watching Bernie work BAY_TWR last night and realized that he had to switch to the appropriate sector file depending on who was calling or where people were landing. And then it dawned on me that this was probably about the easiest way to work that position.

So in the grand tradition of home-experimentation, I took the sector files for KSFO, KOAK and KSJC and cobbled them all into one sector file. What d'you think?

I haven't tried it out myself (heck, nobody's tried it out yet) but it seems like it would work. All the lats/longs are the same, and you can use your 'center' command to get from airfield to airfield. That is, if you're watching someone at KSFO and get a callup at KSJC, you can just type KSJC [home] and you'll be zipped on over to KSJC.

Needless to say this is totally under the table and in no way ZOA offical, but with approval from someone higher up, I'd like to offer it for testing (http://home.pe.net/~trietsch/ASRC/bay_twr%200.5b.sct). I don't anticipate any major problems, since all the information is already being used every day in their individual sector files. This is just a three-way composite.

Immediate future plans include APP-sector divison lines (since we cover four of them in this one display) and perhaps importing the Class Bravo/Charlie limits. Otherwise, I'm open to suggestions... including letting facilites offically take this project over, but I'd be happy to mess around with it myself.

Only 1 problem lol. I never worked Bay_Twr before. :huh:

However last night I passed my OTS for B/C and S3 so I will try this file out today during lunch.

Works like a charm I am on BAY_TWR atm and using the file. Excellent work!


EDIT:
Just logged off. Had traffic at all 3 towers and it never gave me any problems. It has the Bernie Stamp of Approval.

D'oh! Sorry, I think I'm mixing you up with RB... I did it last night too.

*sigh* And I've been here for how long? :P

Glad to hear it's working well... it doesn't seem like a particularly elegant piece of work to me, but if it works, then so be it.

By the way, looking over that picture again, it should drive home in any controller's mind why the 2000-to-4-DME restriction out of KOAK (and the 3000+ by 6 DME from KSFO) is so important. Look at that, the centerlines for the 1s intersect with both 29 and the 27s! What an intersection!
