HAL is no longer in use and has been decommissioned
IVAO HAL Training Tool Manual for IVAO Trainers.
Non-training staff and regular staff are not supposed to know anything about trainer commands.
This article is written with Aurora version 1.2.1b.
For IvAc 1 HAL usage please read : http://forum.ivao.aero/index.php?topic=251443.0
Open ATC Client and load the sector file. On the menu bar, top right click on "Login" to open the following window :
Tick "connect to TRAINING SERVER".
If you experience any issue, please post on the staff Discord channel #hal-server or e-mail to devops@ivao.aero
On the menu bar, open the "ATC" window :
Open the "EXAM TRAINING" module :
Only Training HQ, Div HQ/TC/TAC/TAx have access to the HAL training module.
If you do not see this menu and you think it is not normal, please e-mail devops@ivao.aero
The HAL password is given by HTM/HTAM to Div HQ/TC/TAC who are responsible for HAL usage in their divisions.
To obtain your HAL password, please contact hal@ivao.aero
You should now be connected as a trainer with this message: You are a trainer now, Dave.
Tips: if you don't have a large screen and you don't need the Training/Exam box (left part), then click on the"Info" button to hide it.
You can then hide the comments part by re-sizing the box by moving the bottom right corner.
At the bottom of the HAL tool, you can find a quick aircraft creation tool.
Check on the left the items you want (Distance is required, set 1 as an example). Click on "ADD TRAFFIC" to spawn it.
If you have your own command lines to spawn aircraft, you can open COM Box from the Menu Bar and type :
.chat HAL2000
Then type your commands as you used to do with IvAc.
All commands used in IvAc 1 can still be used with Aurora.
Commands are listed here:
http://forum.ivao.aero/index.php?topic=251443.msg2540825#msg2540825
Commands such as "Force act" and "text" on COM1 work as well.
Special squawk codes like 7600 or 7700 can only be given by private messages to the aircraft.
To issue a clearance using the quick tool, enter the content in the clearance field; then press the clearance button.
Example: to clear an aircraft to descend to FL100 and fly heading 280
Write "100" in the clearance box then press "DM"
Write "280" in the clearance box then press "FH"
Note : if your student correctly fills his/her strips, you should be able to use WP/ALT/SPD to copy clearance from the strip to the clearance field; then click on the desired function.
