Evening All,

Have been having a bit of a predicament on Euroscope that has started tonight, I'm currently using a custom sector file for Bristol Radar.
For some reason, whenever I start Euroscope, the active airports get wiped and I have to reset them.
I tried to change the active airports / runways when I was offline / logged in as an OBS tonight, the change was not saved (both instantly or on Euroscope shut down), with the exception of the Bristol runways which do save, however setting Bristol as an active airport does not.

When I logged on for my mentoring session on Bristol Radar tonight, not only did Bristol become the active airport, but also so did Cardiff (which I tried to set to active whilst offline/OBSing to test the problem. And active airports save correctly when I'm logged in to Bristol Radar, until the point at which I log off again, at which time upon Euroscope reboot they revert back the "default setting" that occurs when things do not save - that is Bristol Runway 27 in use only with no active airports. I've checked this in the .rwy file and it appears that only the active runways and not the rest are being written into there.

This problem does not affect the EGTT sector file, which works fine.

Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Andy

Perhaps this is what I need to look at for my TT_W sector which was giving me no end of gip on the same evening, specifically Euroscope was showing inbound STARS to EGFF and EGGD but no other airports under my Control.

Some thing to be looked at when I get back from Tunisia.

Check you have an active runway selected for each airport that has STARs. No runway, no STAR. For Jersey you need to select the appropriate runway to get the right STAR.
