Main Toolbar - Flight List

The Flight List shows all current flights. Click Flight List on the Main toolbar or select Flight List (CTRL + L) on the Tools menu to open the Flight List window.

The Flight List is sorted by aircraft ID by default but any column can by sorted upon by clicking the column heading. This setting is stored in the system so that the next time Flight List is opened, it is sorted the same way. The active sort column is indicated by an up or down arrow. This changes when a different heading is clicked.

This Flight List is dynamic so that any changes to the data will immediately be updated. Some data may appear out of order between sorts, which indicates that a change has taken place since the last sort. The window can by resized by clicking-holding-dragging any side or corner. The window can be resized as a whole by clicking-holding-dragging the bottom right corner indicated by the dotted arrow. The window is non-modal which means that it can effectively be relocated to another monitor and left open for simultaneous and persistent use.

Flight List Context Menu

Tags, history trails, and vectors can be turned off with this context menu only when a single aircraft is selected. When multiple aircraft are selected, tags, history trails, and vectors can only be turned on. (This is a limitation of the current Windows menu interface).

When any plane filter is added, edited, or deleted from the current view. (Note: The selections will NOT be cleared when all filters are deleted via the Eraser toolbar button or Clear All on the Quick Filter dialog, since the selected planes are guaranteed to remain on-screen.)
When a new map window is selected in multi map mode.
