HAL Commands
On this page you find all commands needed to create or instruct an aircraft on HAL. If you are a student, then the create commands are not relevant. Only trainers are able to log in and create aircraft. To log in as trainer you need a password, to request a password mail: hal@ivao.aero. The HAL server is found in the server list in IVAC as “TRAINING”.
On HAL we give instructions to an aircraft by text, to do this you have to force act the aircraft to get it on your primary frequency. Only a couple of seconds after you force act a plane he will call in with GWG7561> hello, with you at 140. Select the plane and simply type the command in the primary frequency comm box.
EHAA_W_CTR > GWG7561, dm 4000 rs 250 dct SPY
GWG7561 > descend to altitude 4000 reduce to 250kt direct SPY
Now the plane will follow the instructions. The rest of the commands can be found down below.
Trainers have to log in first before they are able to create an aircraft, on HAL better known as an “AIcraft”. To log in, start a chat with HAL2000, like this:
.chat hal2000
To check if you opened the correct chat type:
hello HAL
HAL should respond with:
hello dave
To login type:
login **PASSWORD**
If the login is correct HAL will respond with:
You are a trainer now, Dave
From this moment you are able to create an AIcraft like this:
HAL2000 (11)> You are a trainer now, Dave.
EHAA_W_CTR (12)> fly from EBBR to EHAM callsign KLM1548
HAL2000 (12)> Spawned one aircraft, Dave.
Now we spawned an AIcraft what will fly from Brussels airport to Schiphol Airport with the callsign KLM1548.
To see the create commands check down below. Before starting a training session please read the HAL rules, for trainee and trainer!
