VFPC (Virtual Flight Plan Checker) checks flight plans against relevant route and altitude restrictions. Originally developed by hpeter2 and DrFreas, it has been expanded on with modified functionality to better suit the needs of HKvACC. You can find the codebase of the original plugin here. While it greatly aids delivery controllers, it does not negate the need for delivery controllers to thoroughly check every flight plan before release. It cannot provide a solution to more major route issues.
The missed approach alarm allows tower controllers to send a visual and audio alert to TMA controllers for missed approaches. When the alert is sent (via the tag or window), the relevant TMA controllers receive a popup containing the details about the missed approach aircraft (callsign, airport, runway). The TMA controller can then acknowledge the request, saving the need for extra coordination over voice or chat.
The Always On ATIS Display polls the vatsim datafeed for the latest ATIS at all 4 airports within the Hong Kong FIR, so they can be visually referenced at all times by controllers. The datafeed is slightly delayed, however this is the best option as there is no way to access the ATIS letter through the EuroScope SDK.
