Add FTG to EuroScope lists

Before first use, check EuroScope settings.

Run FTG from the departure and arrival lists instead of hunting tag badge or the legacy FTG panel. XPGuard registers two columns and 19 functions; you place and bind them yourself.

Add a column

  1. Open the departure list → the small S in its title bar (List Columns Setup).
  2. Add Item → Tag Item type → XPGuard / FTG status.
  3. Left button and Right button are separate slots - pick any XPGuard / … function for each.
  4. Repeat for XPGuard / FTG route.
  5. OK, then the same on the arrival list. EuroScope saves it with your profile.
Departure List columns setup
Departure List columns setup - `FTG status` and `FTG route` added, with the XPGuard functions on the left and right buttons

Suggested: FTG column left = FTG menu, right = Handoff menu. RTE column left = Stop/Go toggle, right = FTG show/hide (toggle).

Tag items

Item Cell
FTG status The session state. With no session, capability: green [x] = FTG-capable, gray [ ] = XPGuard client that cannot do FTG here, empty = no XPGuard.
FTG route The route’s taxiways. Green = sent, blue = draft, amber = stopped. Pale = hidden on your scope.

Status words: REQ (REQ@TWR = another position asked) · REJ · DRAFT · ACC (no route yet) · SEND? (draft parked) · SENT · EDIT · AT END (blinking) · STOP · DISC · HO? (offered to you) · HO>GND (your offer pending) · @GND (another controller’s) · ADOPT?.
