| 2012 Sector Files |
NEWLY UPDATED for 2012!
This is the 2012 Trinity 2 Version 2 of the Sector and POF files. For use with VRC, all new RNAV arrivals updated, and taxiway labels for KPHX, KSDL, KDVT, KTUS, KABQ, KELP, and KAMA have been added to the airport diagrams.
The files are current as of AIRAC 1113.
You will find the sector files for both VRC and ASRC included and labled as such. Activate the taxiway labels in VRC by turning on STATIC TEXT in the VIEW menu. In ASRC, they are toggled by the HIGH AIRWAYS button.
Great for multiple monitor users of VRC to avoid the screen clutter on the main radar screen when labels are activated.
Thanks to Ed Sterling for taking the time to update these changes!
