But at first, the available airport list (e.g. EDDF, KOAK,..) in the center will be empty. So at first define a location: | |||
<br /> | |||
In order to '''define a new work-location''' simply enter the airport code (ICAO) or a part of the name into the search field and hit “search”: The list below then shows the results found in the airport database delivered with OpenRadar. There may be found several, so click on the one wanted and then activate the button "Download Scenery". Be patient and watch the Info-Field at the bottom: This first download of the required scenery will take some time before you see a "Ready"! | |||
<br /> | |||
'''If the airport wanted does already exist''', it will be shown in the big center-field, with an "(exists)" at the end. | |||
Double click onto the one wanted (or select it with one click and then click onto start) and you are in the ATC seat. | |||
