Complete and official-GSX profile for FlyTampa's Copenhagen scenery by VATSIM-Scandinavia.

This profile is based on official real life documentation and feedback from real-life controllers to provide the most up to date and complete handling experience in Copenhagen.

Copenhagen (EKCH) contains Start-Up and Release points due to the congested apron-layout, which are specific points located on taxiways, named by the taxiway designator and a number to identify its position (and direction) on the taxiway. All stands with pushback-services have a standard route to push, supplemented by several alternatives to ease traffic flow in specific situations. 

This is a unique part of Copenhagen and we encourage all simmers to embrace this complex and fun system of pushback.

As this profile is correlated to current VATSIM and IRL procedures, we recommend everybody to make this your sole EKCH FlyTampa GSX profile for MSFS!

Features:

• Activation of de-activated stands on all aprons in FlyTampa's EKCH (i.e. A19, A12 etc.) with MARS-subpositions. Keep in mind that you have to reposition to it via GSX after spawning in, as it is a sub-position to the adjacent stand (i.e. "A14 MARS:A12")
• Custom walk-in routes where appropriate
• Custom vehicle preferences, placement & different stopping positions according to aircraft types on different stands
• Custom handler-script including CDM VDGS-messages linked with VATSIM CDM (TOBT, TSAT, CTOT etc.) or SimBrief departure-information if not connected to VATSIM

  • (Be sure to add your VATSIM CID when prompted to in order for the CDM VDGS-integration to work)

  • The script is monitoring the CDM-times and checking their validity comapred with the current time. There might be an issue with these times, if one is not using "real time"
• Correct VDGS-panel placement and jetways according to AIP (however sadly not with APIS++ or ApronVision due to limitations of GSX - placeholders as close to the real thing have been chosen)
• Extensive custom pushback and pull-forward procedures to all correct startup points with some added alternatives

• Ground handling agencies and catering

• Working de-ice platform with real-life procedures (entry in "CW/CCW" - "Clockwise/Counter-clockwise" motion)

  • >>Check documentation for where to De-Ice here<<
    

How to install:

First, remove all other files for EKCH (including old versions of this and old versions containing the previous "handler_storage.ini"-file).
