Configuration

Description of configuration items

Settings UI

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.

General Notes

• 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.

Search Settings

The double arrow buttons expand/collapse all sections.

The search box at the top of the settings allows you to quickly filter options:

Text Edit Fields

• 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.
