Define an area of interest.
When an aircraft exits the area, it is deleted from the simulation. It is possible to predefine shapes using the BOX, CIRCLE, POLY and POLYALT commands.
This argument can be called in two ways:
Note that shapes/areas defined in the second way can be 2D (without altitude constraints) or 3D (with altitude constraints).
Usage:
AREA Shapename/OFF or AREA lat1,lon1,lat2,lon2,[top,bottom]
Arguments 1:
Name | Type | Required | Description |
---|---|---|---|
Shapename | txt | yes | Name of the predefined shape to be used as an area of interest. If 'Shapename' is 'OFF', then aircraft are no longer deleted if they leave the area of interest. |
Arguments 2:
Name | Type | Required | Description |
---|---|---|---|
lat1 | float | yes | latitude of the bottom left corner [deg] |
lon1 | float | yes | longitude of the bottom left corner [deg] |
lat2 | float | yes | latitude of the top right corner [deg] |
lon2 | float | yes | longitude of the top right corner [deg] |
top | float | no | altitude of the top of area [ft] |
bottom | float | no | altitude of the bottom of area [ft] |
