<p>The configuration is designed to reproduce real-world traffic patterns around Algiers while remaining fully compatible with the limitations of Endless ATC.</p>

<p><img src="/content/images/blog/endless-atc-daag.webp" alt="DAAG Approach Radar on Endless ATC" /></p>

<p>Two operational configurations are included:</p>

<ul>
  <li><strong>Config 1</strong>
    <ul>
      <li>Arrivals: RWY 23 (ILS)</li>
      <li>Departures: RWY 27</li>
    </ul>
  </li>
  <li><strong>Config 2</strong>
    <ul>
      <li>Arrivals: RWY 09 (ILS)</li>
      <li>Departures: RWY 05</li>
    </ul>
  </li>
</ul>

<h2 id="key-features">Key Features</h2>

<h3 id="realistic-airspace-design">Realistic Airspace Design</h3>
<ul>
  <li>Custom <strong>approach sector</strong> centered on DAAG</li>
  <li>Carefully defined <strong>airspace boundary</strong> matching the operational area</li>
  <li>Transition altitude aligned with local procedures (3940 ft)</li>
</ul>

<h3 id="optimized-traffic-flow-no-sid-dependency">Optimized Traffic Flow (No SID Dependency)</h3>
<p>Unlike many configurations, this custom location avoids using SIDs as primary entry logic.</p>

<p>This prevents:</p>
<ul>
  <li>Immediate aircraft diversion</li>
  <li>Unrealistic long-distance routing</li>
  <li>Conflicts outside the approach sector</li>
</ul>

<p>Instead, traffic is managed using:</p>
<ul>
  <li><strong>Custom entry points (ALR, ZEM, LIMON, CHE)</strong></li>
  <li>Controlled inbound headings and altitudes</li>
</ul>

<h3 id="balanced-altitude-management">Balanced Altitude Management</h3>
<ul>
  <li>Arrival sequencing starts at <strong>13000–14000 ft</strong></li>
  <li>Controlled descent via:
    <ul>
      <li><code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">descendaltitude = 5000</code></li>
    </ul>
  </li>
  <li>Departure climb limited to:
    <ul>
      <li><code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">climbaltitude = 7000</code></li>
    </ul>
  </li>
</ul>

<p>This ensures:</p>
<ul>
  <li>Stable approach flows</li>
  <li>Reduced vertical conflicts</li>
  <li>Better spacing for vectoring</li>
</ul>

<hr />

<h2 id="traffic-model">Traffic Model</h2>

<p>Traffic distribution is based on real-world operations at DAAG:</p>

<h3 id="primary-operator">Primary Operator</h3>
<ul>
  <li><strong>Air Algérie</strong> (dominant traffic)</li>
</ul>

<h3 id="regional--domestic">Regional &amp; Domestic</h3>
<ul>
  <li>Tassili Airlines</li>
  <li>Domestic flights (ATR / B738 mix)</li>
</ul>

<h3 id="european-traffic">European Traffic</h3>
<ul>
  <li>Air France</li>
  <li>Transavia</li>
  <li>Vueling</li>
  <li>Volotea</li>
  <li>ASL Airlines</li>
</ul>

<h3 id="international-traffic">International Traffic</h3>
<ul>
  <li>Turkish Airlines</li>
  <li>Qatar Airways</li>
  <li>Saudia</li>
  <li>EgyptAir</li>
  <li>Royal Air Maroc</li>
</ul>

<p>Traffic directions are aligned geographically (north, east, west flows) to improve realism and spacing.</p>

<hr />

<h2 id="approach-procedures">Approach Procedures</h2>

<h3 id="ils-rwy-09">ILS RWY 09</h3>
<ul>
  <li>Initial vector via MAR beacon</li>
  <li>Intercept heading: 079°</li>
  <li>Final:
    <ul>
      <li>10.5 NM</li>
      <li>2240 ft</li>
      <li>180 kt</li>
    </ul>
  </li>
</ul>

<h3 id="ils-rwy-23">ILS RWY 23</h3>
<ul>
  <li>Initial vector via ZEM beacon</li>
  <li>Intercept heading: 248°</li>
  <li>Final:
    <ul>
      <li>10 NM</li>
      <li>2300 ft</li>
      <li>180 kt</li>
    </ul>
  </li>
</ul>

<p>These procedures are designed for:</p>
<ul>
  <li>Smooth sequencing</li>
  <li>Minimal last-minute corrections</li>
  <li>Stable final approach paths</li>
</ul>

<hr />

<h2 id="special-airspace">Special Airspace</h2>

<p>Two restricted zones are included south-west of the airport:</p>

<ul>
  <li><strong>R84A (2500 ft)</strong></li>
  <li><strong>R84B (5000 ft)</strong></li>
</ul>

<p>These areas simulate military airspace near Boufarik and require:</p>
<ul>
  <li>Early vectoring decisions</li>
  <li>Proper lateral planning</li>
</ul>

<hr />

<h2 id="coastline--visual-references">Coastline &amp; Visual References</h2>

<p>A detailed <strong>Algerian coastline</strong> has been implemented to improve spatial awareness and realism during radar operations.</p>

<p>This helps:</p>
<ul>
  <li>Visual positioning of aircraft</li>
  <li>Better anticipation of inbound flows from the Mediterranean</li>
</ul>

<hr />

<h2 id="gameplay-tips">Gameplay Tips</h2>

<ul>
  <li>Start with <strong>Config 1 (RWY 23 arrivals)</strong> for easier sequencing</li>
  <li>Use early descent clearances to avoid compression near final</li>
  <li>Keep aircraft at or below <strong>13000 ft before vectoring</strong></li>
  <li>Anticipate traffic from <strong>north-east (Europe)</strong> and <strong>west (Morocco/Spain)</strong></li>
</ul>

<hr />

<h2 id="installation">Installation</h2>

<ol>
  <li>Copy the configuration file DAAG.txt into your Endless ATC locations folder</li>
  <li>Load the custom airport</li>
  <li>Select your preferred configuration</li>
</ol>

<h2 id="final-notes">Final Notes</h2>

<p>This configuration was built with a focus on:</p>
<ul>
  <li>Stability over complexity</li>
  <li>Realistic flows adapted to Endless ATC behavior</li>
  <li>Efficient traffic management without relying on SIDs</li>
</ul>

<p>Future updates may include:</p>
<ul>
  <li>Refined traffic balancing</li>
  <li>Additional entry points</li>
  <li>Enhanced military traffic integration</li>

<p>I’m excited to finally share this project with the world. DeltaZulu Sim (DZS) was born out of a simple passion: flight simulation — and a desire to bring Algeria to life within it.</p>

<p>For years, I noticed a real lack of quality sceneries, liveries, and tools representing Algeria in Microsoft Flight Simulator. So I started building them myself — first for personal use, then for friends, and eventually decided to share them publicly. That’s how DZS began.</p>

<p>DeltaZulu Sim is more than just a scenery workshop. It’s a community space — for Algerian simmers, by Algerian simmers — but also open to anyone who loves realistic and immersive flying in North Africa.</p>

<p>Here, you’ll find handcrafted military and civil sceneries, liveries based on real-world references, charts, mods, and contributions from fellow simmers. My goal is to make flying over Algeria feel as alive and detailed as flying over any other country in MSFS.</p>

<p>Thanks for stopping by — and welcome aboard.</p>
