AmazingAmazon

Hello, where can I find the display profile used on the screenshot in the main website?

Graham

Hello AmazingAmazon... we can send you the .PRE file with the display configuration. Are you an existing user of our London Control updates? If so, can you let us know your email address and original serial key please. You can send this information securely by email to hq@londoncontrol.com

We do not see you on our existing list so not sure if you have our updates yet.

Regards,
Graham

Hello, I actually bought the game on your website yesterday. I might've made the mistake of creating a new account on the forum, although I am using the same email address. Do you still need me to send you an email for the file?

Cheers

Graham

No that's fine, if you just let us know what username you are and then I can get the file to your email address.

Regards,
Graham

My username on the main website is Matthieu

Thanks in advance

While trying my best to make a replica of the profile, there's something I can't figure out: I am unable to get the assumed labels to show different colours corresponding to their direction. It looks like the "Assumed" colour is overwriting the "westbound" and "eastbound" label colour settings in my case.

As far as I am aware the direction colours only apply to the lists and predicted routes/vectors when displaying using ‘right mouse’, not the labels. Labels of assumed traffic are all the same.

Thanks for answering C,

if you have a look at the screenshot that can be found on the main website the tags of the planes heading to the north have a different colour of those heading south. I was trying to achieve this but I guess i'll wait for them to send me the .PRE file via email.

Cheers

Yep, clear as day on the screenshot. Not sure how to achieve that tbh. When you know, please post it in here?
Looking at the screenshot, some planes are totally in the wrong place. 😋

We wondered when someone might notice there was a sequence out of flow! Don't pay too much attention to it however, it was merely a screen shot painted to the landing page of the website so we could give an indication of what the sim might look like under a certain PRE scheme.

AmazingAmazon

Of course, I will let you know as soon as I get my hand on their preset.

Be good to get your feedback once you've run the display config. on a sector or two...

Graham force of habit I’m afraid 😂

AmazingAmazon

Graham It's very nice just a little distracting for me. I found out that the callsign only colours up in the corresponding westbound/eastbound colour when it's waiting to be assumed (flashing). I would love to see a feature that displays these colours also when the planes are assumed.
SO I suppose that all of the planes in the main menu screenshot aren't assumed🤭.

Thanks for the observation... it's interesting to note how you find a distraction when aircraft are waiting to be assumed. Another way of indicating flights 'waiting' would be to change the eastbound and westbound track colours to one and the same, but then you would lose the delineation between eastbound and westbound. Once aircaft have been assumed the colour reverts, otherwise you could find yourself chasing round the screen looking unnecessarily at tracks that are already being controlled. Obviously you are going to do that in any case - 'constant scanning' is part of the task. But the reversion in colour indicates the assumption of a flight has been concluded; it isn't an outstanding task. And yes, the aircraft in the screenshot on the website landing page were all 'waiting'... we are going to put some more screenshots up soon and these will show a range of display options and will have aircraft both assumed and 'waiting.'

AmazingAmazon

Thanks for answering Graham, I think I didn't express myself well. I meant that the overall colours were a little too bright for me. Regarding the assumed tags, they're good as they are, I was just asking if there could be a way to keep the westbound/eastbound colours even when the tags are assumed.

Graham

AmazingAmazon

Ah, I see what you mean now. I'll have a play around with the east/west thing, but other than the actual track label colours, you should be getting yellow and blue strip holders in your strip bays to indicate east/west. I'll let you know if I come up with anything vis. track label colours.

Got a screenshot with your pre-set, feel free to use it: LLFIN sector

Hi Graham. May I ask if you could send the PRE files over to me as well, since I started from scratch with the new software after my previous LC version was corrupted. It would be great to have more realistic displays, rather than me taking the time to fine-tune it manually.

Thank you in advance.

Graham

Wilco Chris; it'll be later on though as I'm engaged currently and not at the LC screens.
