This software is used to assign automatically euroscope runways according to a database referencing preferential runway as well as using real-time weather data.
To install and run this project, follow these steps:
- Install the software using the setup.exe file
- In order to use the real weather data, you will need an API Token, head to https://info.avwx.rest/ and create an account, then request an API token
- Launch ARAS executable, launching it for the first time will create a default config
- Enter your token inside the input box, a confirmation message should indicate that it has been correctly saved
- Select your
.rwyfile inside LFXX's euroscope folder (it will be saved for future use) - Select the FIR where you want to auto-assign runways and click
Assign Runway - Launch Euroscope!
When opening the program, the status info panel will show you the state of required parameters for it to work.
When red, the program could not locate the data, green indicating that it has.
For token status, when entering a new token for the first time, it will be saved but not verified, and will appear yellow.
After you've completed the first auto runway assignement successfully, the token will be verified and valid, the indication will then turn green.
To automatically assign runway, the sofware must be run BEFORE opening Euroscope.
The FIR Airports menu let you customise which airport are being assigned when clicking on a FIR auto-assign button (blue button).
To modify the default list, select the FIR in the dropdown menu, then, the list of current auto-assigned airport will show in the textfield next to it.
Modify this list with ICAO codes separated by comma. You can then add or remove airports according to your requirements.
Clicking the reset button will revert to default list of airports for the currently selected FIR.
Note: if you are adding unsopported ICAO, you will need to also add them using the Settings Window<
the has4runway "FIR" is used to define airports equipped with 2 departures runways as well as 2 arrival one. Edit this list the same way as the others
using a texteditor on Documents/ARAS/rwydata.
Unless specified in the update, you can keep your settings, to do so, proceed as follow:
Before reinstalling ARAS, make sure to save both rwydata.json & config.json in an other folder,
after the reinstall, launch ARAS, it will create those 2 files back, you can replace them with your old config.
