Regarding IAHM-COL's suggestion of me covering Chubu, that sounds good to me. I currently plan to control Tokyo Center from about 20 to 00/01 Italian time (so 19 - 23/00 UTC if DST is not in effect) on both days; as for reliefs, I'm available, but I'd like to provide them only for airports in my area, in order not to reduce coverage (that means, controlling Center and the affected airport(s) at the same time, if possible).
I've got some doubts regarding placing an ATC at Hokkaido - I think it's too far from the other airports, and routes from/to it (taking the current ATC "reservations" into account) won't be completely controlled. A similar situation happened during the last edition of the Festival (see e.g. Lydiot's previous posts on Curtis' forum -
1 and
2). Maybe new, prospective ATCs could fill in delivery/ground/tower positions at already manned airports? In any case, the choice will fall exclusively on controllers.
Finally, a note to the scenery modelers:
a new version of WED was released - please update the tool. It contains a couple of validation fixes (especially for signs and taxiway segments) and will become the minimum required version for Gateway uploads in a few days.
