The state of this check box will be remembered between flight list sessions. An arrow in the heading indicates the column that is being used as the basis of information.

Row Highlight

Choose to highlight a row that shows:

  • None - Does not color any row.
  • Events - Events are activities such as aircraft departure, ETA change, weather conditions, etc.
  • Events & Filters - An event as above and a plane filter which can be made up of an aircraft ID, origin, destination, altitude, and/or aircraft type.
  • Events, Filters & Status - An event and filter as above and flight status such as, Departed, In-Flight, Arrived, or Aged Out.

Row Highlight options are used to make it easier to identify flights that have been identified with an event, a certain filter, and/or a status change. When Flight List is open, these flights can be seen at-a-glance by the different colors. Row colors are the same as the plane color on-screen, determined in User Defined Views -> Planes.
