Version 0.5.2-alpha5

Sector Studio follows sector file declarations more closely when deciding which files to load. The File Explorer now shows why a file is active or whether it is unused.

Added

  • Hover over a file in the File Explorer to see its reference status.
  • Right-click a file and choose Show references... to see the declarations or automatic loading rules that reference it. Select Open source to jump to the relevant line where available.

Improved

  • Import discovers controller profiles and letters of agreement referenced by active ATC files within the sector root.

Fixed

  • External fixes, VORs, NDBs, ATC positions, airports, airways and airspace now follow their section declarations. Files of these types that are only present in an include folder stay inactive.
  • ATIS and digital ATIS dependencies now come from active ATC files.
  • Runway metadata comes from active runway files. GEO and fill-colour loading honours declarations and can automatically pick up airport-matched GEO and TFL files. FCL files require a fill-colour declaration.
  • Declared danger, restricted and prohibited GEO files now contribute geometry. Main airspace declarations accept files with the .airspace extension.
  • Live preview uses the same file selection rules as loading a saved project.

Known limitations

  • These loading changes cover external files. Inline fixes, navaids, airports, runways and GEO are outside their scope.
  • Copy entire include folder can keep unused files in the project for editing. Those files remain visible in the File Explorer and contribute data only if the applicable loading rules select them.
