RTMM - Medical Facilities

Automated Dispatches: The RTMM Automated Dispatches program works for BOTH BWEP and RTMM Medical Facilities, downloading the RTMM Automated Dispatches.zip gives you both..

Accidents and emergencies will happen ... it is part of the nature of "the Alaskan Bush." To reflect on this certainty, we have created the RTMM Medical Facilities Page. This gives you key medical facilities for all four RTMM areas. We then "place" emergencies out in the bush, using only waypoints (not flight plans) that you must "find". You will then be instructed to fly to one of the nearest Medical Facilities where a medical reception team will be waiting for you. You can turn these "on and off" using the RTMM Medical Facilities Selector Utility, created by Rod Jackson. This is another way to enhance your enjoyment of flying "From Here to There" in the RTMM area.

RTMM Medical Facilities Project - Overview

About RTMM Medical Facilities:

With all the visitors coming to Alaska, and all the opportunities they have to explore the areas, medical facilities are needed to help them when they get into trouble. If you Google “Tourist accidents in Alaska” you'll get 446,000 “items found.” You'll see everything from heart attacks on cruise ships to helicopter accidents and everything in-between. The medivac helicopters and planes are sufficiently busy in our RTMM area.
Many hospital facilities are already in the SAK, PNW, PFJ, Tongass X scenery packages. We are highlighting those and adding facilities where there are none, trying to keep them as “real” as possible in terms of location. We are taking a bit of poetic license by adding “medical docks” nearby the urban facilities so the fixed wing simmers will also be able to participate in the RTMM Medical Dispatches.
The RTMM Medical Facilities project puts in urban medical hubs, which are fed by more remote emergency centers, which in turn are fed by accident sites. The RTMM Medical Facilities project will include all three aspects, making this as realistic as we can.
This project will have frequent updates as we add facilities and dispatches. Be sure to look for the latest "TEMP" library and the latest RTMM Automated Dispatches.zip and RTMM Facilities.zip.
README instructions can be found HERE.

A New Kind of Flying for RTMM

At RTMM we usually have detailed flight plans to help you get from "Here2There" low and slow and between the formidable mountains in our areas. We have found the best and safest routes for you. For those used to that flying method, this will be a significant departure.
You will be given an emergency waypoint that you put into your GPS (Instructions Below). This gives you an "as the crow flies" or direct route to the target. On a clear day, such flying is easy and quick ... you simply go to an altitude above the mountains and fly the GPS to the target. HOWEVER ... when the weather is bad and you have to stay below 1200 feet ... "how" you get there will depend upon your skills of understand the topography, reading your GPS and "figuring out" how to make the trip safely, yet as quickly as possible. This is a whole new way of flying ... and probably the most realistic we have offered to date.

Starting Points and GPS Functions are Important ... know how to use them!

In the dispatches, you will be asked to place your aircraft at a starting point. One of these gives you a latitude, longitude and heading. The other will tell you to start at a certain airport/dock. Please go to the "HOW TO" for Starting Points to make sure you understand how to do these.
Also, you will be putting waypoints into your GPS. If you are not familiar with this process, look at the "HOW TO" for GPS Usage so you can practice it and do it easily.

Installation

There are three items you need to download:

NOTAM: This is for TRADITIONAL RTMM Download, NOT Express:
RTMM Medical and APP Libraries - Clicking on the zip button will take you to the table on the Object Library Page where you can find the download for the RTMM Medical and APP Libraries.

To get the latest RTMM Automated Dispatches.zip, download it from the Here2There Page under Dispatches. Click on dispatch button on left to go there.

NOTAM ON UPDATING: When Updating, use the SAFE and REPLACE process. Delete the old folder, then put in the new folder.
NOTAM FOR OFF/ON: To turn OFF all the dispatches and emergency waypoints, simply UNCHECK the RTMM Medical Dispatches folder in your simulator's scenario library.
NOTAM for Other Downloads for the Dispatches: You may have to download a scenery location to make this work. Under "RTMM" below, the scenery you need is listed. Notice, if the scenery has been changed recently, there is a date. This probably means you should download the scenery location and reinstall it. (Use Safe and Replace). You can click on the link there to download the new file.
NOTAM: The RTMM Medical Dispatch Selector can be found on the Here2There Page under "Dispatches and Missions/Automated Dispatches".

GPS - Adding Waypoints
The Medical Facilities Project utilized waypoints as we have never done before. Here is a short "how to" on adding waypoints to your GPS. First of all, the waypoints must be "pre-loaded" by the software. In this case, all of the waypoints are pre-loaded when you download and install the RTMM Medical Facilities scenery folder. Now you must get your GPS to "point" to the waypoint. First, look up the waypoint you want to use. If you are told to go to Bartlett Hospital (Juneau), you will find the waypoint for Bartlett on the table above and it will also be in your PDF instruction for the Medical Dispatch. For an example, we will look at M001H, the helipad for Bartlett Hospital. NOTAM: (Suffix of "H" designates helicopter, "F" designates a waypoint for fixed wing aircraft)
Step #1 Use the "Direct" button on the right side of the GPS.
Step 2 Click on the little arrows on the curser knob ... just on one of those two SMALLER arrows. When you do, you will get what you see to the right. Now you type in "m001h". (Never Use CAPS when entering information into the GPS).
Step 3 Once the waypoint is typed in correctly, you then click on the "ENT" (enter) button. The GPS will ask you if you want to "Activate?" You click the "ENT" button again to activate the new direct route. The GPS will then display your direct route to the waypoint as seen in the image to the right.
Repositioning Tip: Often, you will have to deviate from the original GPS track. When you want a quick NEW track directly to the GPS target. Click on the "D" on the GPS and then click on ENT twice. That gives you a new direct course to your waypoint without having to enter anything. NOTAM: DO NOT use caps when entering GPS waypoint names, lower case letters only. NOTAM: If you make a mistake ...click on the "PUSH CRSR" button to start over. NOTAM: Finding the Dock ... The Med Docks can be difficult to find. If you fly toward the facility at dusk, night or dawn, we will turn on a string of red flashing lights to let you know where it is. Fly over low and you will see the string of red lights, then knowing where to land and taxi.

Using A Starting Point with Latitude and Longitude (How to)
How to use Starting Points and Starting Position: Often, there will not be an "airport" to start from and the program will ask you to "position your aircraft using the starting points". All starting points for all medical facilities are listed in the above facilities tables. You will find LATITUDE, LONGITUDE and MAG (magnetic heading). To position yourself directly at the starting point: Open the MAP feature of your Simulator (If you don't use "Magnetos" reprogram your keyboard for "M" opening up the simulator's MAP). Copy the Latitude, paste it into the latitude box. Copy the Longitude, paste it into the longitude box Copy the Heading (mag) and paste it into the heading box. Set the Altitude to ZERO -- UNLESS altitude is given (for elevated helipads) Set the Airspeed to ZERO 6. Press OK ... your aircraft will be positioned exactly at the starting point. NOTAM 1: We use 4 digits for minutes to EXACTLY place your aircraft by the dock (not on it or away from it) NOTAM 2: Altitude is critical if you are "positioning" your helicopter on an elevated helipad. If you do not put it in, you will "start" under the helipad on the ground. NOTAM 3: We have starting points for over 1000 locations in RTMM, you can find them on the "Starting Points" table on the "Here2There" page.
Start at Airport or Dock
Often a starting position will be an airport runway, helipad or dock. Here is how you position the aircraft for this situation:
1. Use your simulator's "GO TO AIRPORT" function. Put the name of the location or the ICAO code into one of the two boxes. 2. Click on the "Active Runways" box and you will get a "drop down" for that airport allowing you to start in any place you choose there. 3. Press OK, you will find yourself positioned in the correct place.

Using the RTMM Medical Dispatch Selector

Click to Enlarge

Rod Jackson has created a utility for the Medical Dispatches that allows you to choose and explore the many dispatches available. This is "how" you install and use it:

Installation: The Selector is built into the Medical Dispatch Folder.

Optional for Windows: Create a desktop shortcut to the selector. To do this, in the Medical Dispatches folder, right click on the RTMM Medical Dispatch Selector.exe. Select "Create Shortcut". It makes a shortcut in that folder. Do a "Cut and Paste" cutting it from the RTMM Medical Dispatches folder and pasting it to your Desktop.
Optional for MAC: Create an alias. Right-click on the app, file, or folder that you want to have a shortcut. When the menu shows up, just click on the option to "Make Alias." A new file will show up that looks just like the old one, except it has the word "alias" at the end of its name. If you look closely enough, you'll also see a tiny little arrow in the lower left of the file's icon, letting you know it's a shortcut and not the real thing.

Usage:

If you have dlownladed the latest dispatch zip (RTMM Medical Dispatches.zip) and have placed it, then all of the dispatches available will show up in the left-hand (red) column. To view the details on one of these, click on one to select it, then go to the three buttons beneath the left-hand column. There you can 1. Display the Map, 2. Display a full screen map, 3. Display the selected dispatch's instructions, and 4. you can select a "random dispatch" and check it out.
You can select a dispatch for activation by clicking on it in the left hand column, then clicking on the button between the columns named: "Activate Selected Dispatches". They now appear in the right hand (green) column are are "activated". If you want to explore ones you have activated, you can use the buttons under the right column (green) to explore any dispatch you click on first.
Clicking on the blue botton below the middle column, you will bring up the RTMM Medical Dispatches page where you can do more exploring.
Activation: When a dispatch is "activated" ... the "reception committee" will active when you fly the dispatch. If all are activated (as they are not using the selector), then all of the reception committees will be present every time you go to that facility. (They should not be there if there is no emergency).
If you have any questions on using the selector, go to the RTMM Forum under RTMM Medical Facilities and discuss the problem there.

Known Problems and Compatibility Issues with Medical Facilities Locations
Occasionally there will be a conflict with scenery or a "known problem". We will list all those and the possible fixes for them in this table. PeaceHealth Hospital in Ketchikan --- This bgl in the Medical Facilities package is NOT compatible with the PAKT-SP1 Pay ware program. To solve the problem, go to the Medical Facilities folder/Scenery and look for files with "PeaceHealth Ketchikan". Delete all 5 of those bgl files. This hospital and dock will then not show up in your modified PAKT-SP1 modified scenery. (We have put a notam in the dispatch instructions too) Tongass Fjords X Fix for Pelican (PEC). There is a totally misplaced dock at the end of a pier. (Image) If you want to fix this Go to Addon Scenery / Tongass Fjords Higher Priority / Scenery and look for "TF_FSX_SPBs_and_marinas_Pelican.bgl." Change the extension from ".bgl" to ".off". Then download the following and paste it into that folder: TF_FSX_SPBs_and_marinas_Pelican.bgl. If you want to use it as a helicopter starting point, position the helicopter at: N57 57.5637 W136 13.7598, Heading 060°. The E021B dispatch works "as is", but if you make this change, you can use the new heli starting point. Making this change is NOT NECESSARY it is only for people who want to do it.

Design & Development Section

Dispatches will be numbered E001, E002, E003, etc. If it is for Fixed Wing ONLY, a suffix of "F" is added. If it is for Helicopters only, an "H" is added. if BOTH fixed wing and helicopter can be used, a "B" will be added.. The table below is for developers to reserve a number when they begin working on a project. (E-mail me for the next dispatch number and I'll post it here). Green is "finished", Yellow is "reserved."
