Aurora Sector Studio

Design. Build. Validate.
The smart way!

Aurora Sector Studio is a modern application for creating, editing and validating sector files for the Aurora ATC client. Compatible with the Aurora system used by IVAO, but developed as an independent tool for FIR Chiefs, FIR staff and Division staff responsible for maintaining airspace data and sector file structure.

Made for FIR-scale sector file development

Visual sector editing

Manage sector structure, layers and files in a workspace designed for whole FIRs, not just single-airport edits. See the big picture instead of scrolling through text.

Parsing & validation

Parse .isc, colour schemes, ATC definitions and much more. Surface problems before they reach your controllers. Reduce “why is my sector broken?” support requests.

FIR organisation

Keep complex projects like EKDK structured with folders, profiles and assets grouped the way your division actually works, instead of fighting the file system.

Aurora-compatible

Built around the sector file structure used by the Aurora ATC client on the IVAO network, so publishing and updating sector packages fits naturally into your existing workflow.

Fast iteration

Tweak, validate and re-export quickly when procedures, airspace or colours change. Spend more time on design decisions and less time on mechanical file editing.

Licensing & trial

Full-featured 7-day trial without a licence. After that, activate with an End-user licence or a Division licence via the built-in licensing system.

Step 1

Plan your FIR

Define the structure: sectors, layers, colour schemes and profiles that match your division’s documentation and real-world procedures.

Step 2

Build & validate

Edit visually, run validation and resolve issues before sending anything to controllers. Iterate until the package is ready for release.

Step 3

Export & distribute

Export a clean sector file package for the Aurora ATC client and distribute it through your division’s normal release channels.
