Turbofan's Tools

Some helpful stuff I have created for the YS Flight Community

• Map Toolbox

  A collection of various useful map-making elements that I have accrued over the years through making various sceneries. From airport runway bases to approach lighting, to runway touchdown zone lighting, some ramp signs and more, it has a lot of useful elements that make airport and map work just a little more quicker and easier. I also update it whenever I create new elements, so keep checking back for periodic updates to this in the GRID!

• MaPS for Maps

  A Word document that has become my one-stop-shop for anything measurement or "specifics-related" when doing anything with maps in YS Flight. Just a few of the things I have in this document include things like showing the equivalent of one mile in feet and meters, standard widths of runways, runway shoulders, distance between the PAPI and ILS box for runways, RGB colour codes for runway and taxiway lighting, different colours for geographical areas, guidance on how to place J-lines for different aircraft and much more. If you need a comprehensive guide when making maps, you might find this quite helpful.

• T.R.A.C.K. | ATC Assistant for YS Flight

  My first web-based application for YS Flight! Named the Terminal Region Airspace Control Kit (or T.R.A.C.K. for short), it allows an air traffic controller to manage flights for an ATC session for YS Flight. The tool allows the person using it to generate flight information tabs, which are sorted into "Departures" or "Arrivals" columns. The tabs can then be re-sorted within their respective columns, or dragged-and-dropped into either column (i.e. they are cross-listable). Any tab can also be changed to a red colour to denote an emergency for that particular flight! I highly recommend reading the "Help" section for the program as it contains a comprehensive guide to using the application.
