CCAMS 2.5.3

This release slightly changes the colouring of the squawk code item

New

• NIL

Changes

• Use notification colour for squawk code item when duplicate is detected (to differentiate between an unassigned and a duplicate squawk code)

Fixes

• Duplicate flags/marking for mode S code and non-discrete codes

Full Changelog: 2.5.2...2.5.3

CCAMS 2.5.2

This release improved the (plugin internal) efficiency of requests made to the server and adds a few minor features.

New

• Squawk is displayed in emergency colour for relevant specific codes
• Custom colour for Mode S EHS list items configurable in plugin settings
• Compatibility check and awareness messages for ES v3.2.10

Changes

• Improved plugin-internal handling, processing and management of code requests sent to the server to avoid unncessesary duplicate/parallel requests resulting in timeouts (mostly affected are big sectors, where a large number of requests is triggered upon a session start)
• Increased timeout between requests for simulator sessions to avoid duplicate assignments

Fixes

• Duplicate flags/marking for mode S code and non-discrete codes

Full Changelog: 2.5.0...2.5.2

CCAMS 2.5.0

This release provides a number of minor improvement and stability fixes.

New

• EuroScope version compatibility check and setting adaptions (a corresponding message will be raised upon startup)
• Customised automatic transponder code assignment refresh interval: the parameter AutoAssign is now used to define the interval (in seconds) between scans for automatic transponder code assignments
• Pinning flights to EHS list

Changes

• Readme clean-up and updates
• MSSQ warning flag now uses also information from the tracking controller to determine its status
• Improved search for duplicate transponder code assignments (includes now flight plans): This will reduce/avoid DUPE warnings raised before when the transponder code was used by an aircraft outside of the controllers visibility range
• Improved handling of sweatbox and replay sessions
• Improved parameter collection for requests sent to the server
• Config reading/translation for FAA equipment codes deactivated (static implementation)

Fixes

• EuroScope version reporting
• Config file reading

Full Changelog: 2.4.0...2.5.0

CCAMS 2.4.8 (RC 1 for 2.5.0)

This release provides a number of minor improvement and stability fixes.

New

• Pinning flights to EHS list

Changes

• Readme clean-up and updates
• Config reading/translation for FAA equipment codes deactivated (static implementation)
• Improved search for duplicate transponder code assignments (includes now flight plans): This will reduce/avoid DUPE warnings raised before when the transponder code was used by an aircraft outside of the controllers visibility range
• Improved handling of sweatbox and replay sessions

Fixes

• EuroScope version reading
• Config file reading

Full Changelog: 2.4.3...2.5.0-rc1

CCAMS 2.4.3

This release provides a number of minor improvement and stability fixes.

New

• EuroScope version compatibility check and setting adaptions (a corresponding message will be raised upon startup)
• Customised automatic transponder code assignment refresh interval: the parameter AutoAssign is now used to define the interval (in seconds) between scans for automatic transponder code assignments

Changes

• Fix: erroneous version reporting to server resulting in denied requests
• Readme clean-up and updates
• MSSQ warning flag now uses also information from the tracking controller to determine its status
• Improved search for duplicate transponder code assignments (includes now flight plans): This will reduce/avoid DUPE warnings raised before when the transponder code was used by an aircraft outside of the controllers visibility range
• Improved parameter collection for requests sent to the server

Fixes

• NIL

Full Changelog: 2.4.0...2.4.3

CCAMS 2.4.0

This release adds improved support for non-Windows platforms and improvements to the automatic squawk assignment routine.

New

• Additional re-validation of the code assignment when starting to track a flight (incl. new code being assigned, if required)
• Additional command to activate/deactivate an automated code validation upon starting to strack a flight (.ccams tracking)

Changes

• Improved routine to assign squawks automatically (checking for duplicates also between an initial code assignment has been made until a controller starts to track the flight)
• Reduced timer (scan interval) to request a squawk code for aircraft subject to automatic assignment (from 10 to 3 seconds)

Fixes

• NIL

New Contributors

• @herver made their first contribution in #52

Full Changelog: 2.3.1...2.4.0

CCAMS 2.3.1

This release implements a number of minor improvements. Please check the revised readme for all details.

New:

• Additional command to reload local and remote settings (.ccams reload)
• Notification about availability of a new plugin version (implements #40)

Changes:

• Improved handling of requests from sweatbox sesssions
• Improved automatic squawk assignment (management of plugin-internal list of already checked aircraft)
• Verification of squawk codes upon transfer (and automatic new re-assignment, if required)
• Latest available and minimum required version can now be controlled separately, allowing smother transition phases when a new plugin version is introduced

Fixes:

• NIL

This is a major rework of all parts of the code, among with added functionality and automation. Please check the fully revised readme for all details.
It implements issues #6, #23, #25 and #28.

New:

• Automatic squawk assignment by the plugin is available (see details and conditions in the readme)
• Option for explicit assignment of discrete code (via pop-up)
• List to display (simulated) Mode S EHS (Enhanced Surveillance)

Changes:

• Refined definition of Mode S areas to allow also exclusions

Fixes:

• Accept and assign transponder code 1000 if the flight remains within the Mode S capable area for the remainder of the flight (#28)
