Config Files and Associated Radar Video Maps to be used in DGSCOPE by K2FC
There will be a sector configuration file for every TRACON in the United States organized by each facility's ID code. To find an ID code go to https://123atc.com/facilities. Some Airports do not have dedicated TRACONs but still have radar data and will be located under TRACABs.
Each folder of a TRACON will include the following files:
- (FACILITY ID).xml = The configuration file preset with the radar information and homepoint to be used on DGSCOPE.
- (FACILITY ID VIDMAP).geojson = The prebuilt set of frequently used video map files for each facility using CRC files current as of 5/10/2025.
- VMAP List-Info = The information regarding the order and names of each video map included in the set as well as position logon identifiers.
- Individual VMAPS = An additional folder including some individual video map .geojson file taken straight from CRC with namings.
Installation and Usage Instructions:
- Download the full package or the specific folder of the TRACON you are insterested in and extract contents.
- Startup DGSCOPE or install here https://github.com/k2fc/scope
- When the popup opens to select a sector file, choose the (FACILITY ID).xml (It will initially popup and say "empty path name is not legal" because you have not assigned a videomap file yet)
- Once running, "CTRL+P" to open preferences and then scroll down to "Misc" to find "Video Maps - (Collection)"
- Click on the three dots on the rights side of the preference menu which will open up a new menu
- Navigate to "File", "Open", and then upload the (FACILITY ID VIDMAP).geojson
- After a few seconds, the table should populate with maps. Save and close the screen
- The DCB should now show maps in the first few slots. Click to toggle visibilty
- "Ctrl + S" once you have loaded videomaps so that is saves your preferences for the future
- "F12" will popup "SIGN ON" in the text line, then type preferred Logon ID found in the "VMAP List-Info" text document and hit enter to tag up the associated aircraft
- "Ctrl + F2" will access the full list of radar video maps, allowing you to activate those in spots outside of 1-20 and with a reference to their full name
If you have any problems regarding the videomaps, feel free to comment with an issue.
