CANscope

About the Project

The CANscope project's goal is to improve realism of online virtual air traffic control for members of VATCAN, VATSIM's canadian division. Using EuroScope's software as a ATC client for online operations as well as offline simulation, we develop and test custom settings and plug-ins for EuroScope to look and behave as close as possible to a real system now used in Canada: CAATS (Canadian Automated Air Traffic System)

One other very important aspect of the project is that we take the opportunity to standardize methods and formats across VATCAN regions. All six VATCAN Regions are actively participating to the project.
