Automatic runway selector for Norwegian airports based on METAR data from VATSIM. Helps controllers by selecting optimal runways based on current weather conditions.
- Python 3.6 or higher
Install dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Tip
Dependency is automatically installed using the provided bat file
The script has to be placed in the base folder of your sectorfile (where .ese, .sct, .rwy files are located).
Run the script via the provided bat file, alternatively manually via terminal.
If any of the following conditions are met at ENGM, the script will promt you to select a runway manually:
- Low temprature
- Low cloud layer
- Low visibility
- Fog reported
- RVR reported
- Snow reported
- Variable winds
For ENZV it will prioritize using runway 18/36 if crosswind is less than 15KT.
After script has been run, EuroScope can be opened and the runways will be preselected.
Note: The purpose of the script is to minimize the amount of manual runway input needed when starting up. It is not perfect and there can be conditions that warrants a different runway selection - such as height winds.
