Configuration
Description of configuration items
Settings are available from X-Plane's menu:
Plugin > LiveTraffic > Settings...
. They are organized in seven collapsable sections: Basics, Input Channels, Output Channels, Aircraft Labels, Advanced, CSL, and Debug.- All changes are applied immediately.
- The configuration file is written when the settings UI is closed and on X-Plane exit.
There are no [OK] or [Cancel] buttons. Whatever you do takes effect at once.
The double arrow buttons
expand/collapse all sections.

The search box at the top of the settings allows you to quickly filter options:
- Copy & Paste is supported.
- [Enter] applies the changed value.
- [Esc] cancels the current edit operation and fills the field with the value from before the edit operation. No change is applied to LiveTraffic.
- With [Tab] / [Shift+Tab] you can move focus between edit fields.

---|---|---|
