Scenario Generation

When GSGT is started, it is necessary to open an existing scenario or to create a new scenario.

Selection Response
Open Choose an existing scenario from $GSGT_WORK_PATH
New 1. Choose (1 or more ERAM and TBFM) adaptation from $ADAPTATION_PATH.
2. Choose a location in $GSGT_WORK_PATH, and enter a name for the new scenario.
NOTE: Optionally, a weather scenario can be associated at this time. (This can also be added or changed after the scenario is created.)

Creating a new scenario

After launching GSGT from the command line the GSGT window will pop up. In the window 'left click' on 'Scenario' and select 'New'. Alternatively you can select the blank piece of paper icon below 'Scenario'.

Picture of new Scenario

'New Scenario' will appear. GSGT will need at least one ERAM airspace adaptation selected in order to create a scenario. 'Left click' on 'adaptation' and then the subfolder 'eadp' to get a list of available ERAM adaptations. Select at least one airspace to load.

NOTE: The comments will facility the ERAM adaptation is for.

After selecting an airspace 'right click' on the selected adaptation and select 'Add TBFM adaptation' from the drop down menu. A new 'Choose Adaptation Directory' will be displayed. 'Double click on adapt' to see available TBFM adaptations. 'Left click' the desired adaptation and 'left click' the 'Choose Button'. 'Click' the 'Next' button in the 'New Scenario' window. Give your scenario a name and click 'Next'. You will be asked if you want to give your scenario weather. You may select a weather scenario now or choose to add it in later. Click 'Finish'. After giving GSGT a few seconds to parse the adaptation your selected airspace will be loaded.

Opening an existing scenario

After launching GSGT from the command line the GSGT window will pop up. In the window 'left click' on 'Scenario' and select 'Open'. Alternatively you can select the folder icon below 'Scenario'. From the 'Open Scenario' window, select the scenario you would like to open and click the 'Finish' button.

If you know where your scenario is located in the directory you may 'cd' to the directory. Launching GSGT while inside the scenario directory will automatically open that scenario.

Map Display

After GSGT parses the adaptation and loads the airspace a large map area is displayed including a menu bar (View and Find), Flight level selector, Zoom control, Range indicator, and status or measurement bar (when invoked) along the bottom.

  • Orange areas on the map indicate terminal airspace while gray areas indicate enroute airspace
  • Sector and facility boundaries are based on the selected 'Flight Level' and change as the altitude is changed.
  • Range and Flight Level (in hundreds of feet) can be changed.
  • Additional map elements for display
