## Sector Extensions for VATSIM Radar

EuroScope does **not** support automatic sector extensions.
Controllers must manually enter their extension lines in the **Controller Info** field.

Use the standard New Zealand sector–frequency mapping:

| Sector | Frequency |
|--------|-----------|
| **OCR** | 123.9 |
| **BAY** | 119.5 |
| **NAK** | 123.7 |
| **OHA** | 126.2 |
| **STH** | 129.3 |
| **KAI** | 129.4 |

#### Example Manual Entry
If you are controlling **OCR** and extending the country, your Controller Info should include:

`Extending BAY 119.5, NAK 123.7, OHA 126.2, KAI 129.4, STH 129.3`

### Manual Updates Required in EuroScope

EuroScope does **not** automatically update your Controller Info when:

- When your primed frequencies are changed

Because of this limitation:

> **Controllers are expected to manually update their Controller Info whenever sector coverage changes.**

This ensures VATSIM Radar has up‑to‑date extension information.

## Sector Extensions for VATSIM Radar

The New Zealand vatSys profile includes the **VATNZ Plugin** by default.
This plugin automatically updates your extension lines based on which frequencies you have **primed** or **de‑primed**.

Because of this, vatSys controllers **do not** need to manually enter extension information.
Your Controller Info will update automatically as you change your primed frequencies.

#### How it works
- When you **prime** a frequency, the plugin adds the correct sector extension lines.
- When you **de‑prime** a frequency, the plugin removes the corresponding extension lines.

This ensures that VATSIM Radar always see accurate, real‑time sector coverage for New Zealand.

#### Manual action is not required
Unlike EuroScope, vatSys has full capability to:
- detect your active frequency
- update your Controller Info automatically

As long as you are using the latest **New Zealand Profile**, the plugin will handle all extension logic for you.
