Hello, here is how to run ATC-Pie on Windows based PCs.
Tested on ATC-Pie 0.9.3 and 0.9.4 (dev branch)
This is an easy way to launch ATC-Pie on a Windows based PC.
The following systems will work:
Windows XP (Service Pack 2 or later)
Windows Vista
Windows 7
Windows 8
Windows 8.1
Windows 10
Installation and Use:
Copy ATC-pie.bat and LaunchConfig.ini to ATC-pie folder.
You need WinPython with QT5 for this to work. The best version to use is 3.4.4.1, which can be downloaded here:
x86 (32bit): https://sourceforge.net/projects/winpyt ... e/download
x64 (64bit): https://sourceforge.net/projects/winpyt ... e/download
Install it to any directory you like, but make note of this directory!
Open ATC-pie.bat
Select option 3 "WinPython Directory" and press Enter.
Select option 2 "Change WinPython Directory" and press Enter.
Type (or paste) in the directory which you installed WinPython and press Enter.
Select option 1 "Back to Main Menu" and press Enter.
Setup is complete!!!
To launch at an airport:
Open ATC-pie.bat
Select option 1 "Launch at an airport (ICAO)" and press Enter.
Type the ICAO code of the airport you wish to launch at and press Enter. (ex: EHAM)
To launch with other modes or arguments:
Open ATC-pie.bat
Select option 2 "Enter arguments" and press Enter.
Type the arguments you wish to use, and press Enter. Do not include ATC-pie.py. Only include arguments. (ex: EHAM --map-range=150)
I may add native support for more options later.
If you have problems, you can report them here on this thread.
I am working with Micky to keep this working on the latest versions of ATC-pie.
Enjoy!
Josh
