Aircraft Label

[crwk78]

Hi Pete,

I was googling for a method of using FSUIPC to use a keystroke to change the information displayed on an AI traffic label in P3D. I have two sources of AI traffic (one is the default bgl flightplan method and the other is live traffic injection using PSXSeeconTraffic). They aren't used at the same time. To display the 'callsign' the former uses the airline and flightnumber and the latter uses the tail number. I would like to change the info with two different keys, rather than have to go into the menu system.

I noticed that a previous version of FSUIPC allowed doing this, but I can't find any references in the latest version. Am I missing it or has it gone? Any chance of reintroducing it?

[FS2004] Controls to switch AI Traffic labels on or off, or to change the label contents. For the latter you need to provide a parameter with the value specifying which items of data the labels should include. Calculate the parameter by adding together the values from this list:

1 Manufacturer

2 Model

4 Tail number

8 Altitude

16 Airspeed

32 Heading

64 Airline

128 Airline + Flight number

256 Route

512 Reference number

1024 Multiplayer name (?)

 

Cheers,

Hi,

with FSUIPC4 you can toggle Aircraft labels (ON/OFF) but not change its content settings individual.

I don't know anyway of doing that.

Where are you reading that? Because I don't recall it at all, nor can I find mention of it.

The Google search brought me to a .pdf of the FSUIPC Manual for a previous version which (typically) I can no longer find, but I have managed to find you quoting it in the eighth post in the link below. Any chance of reintroducing it, assuming it ever existed...?

Ah, yes, thank you. I found the details now.

That was done through a hack I found in FS2004 which I could not do in FSX. Sorry. All of the facilities which were in FSUIPC3 which I found ways to do were applied in FSUIPC4 for FSX as well, but some were not. There were, n the other hand, more and different facilities possible with FSX. IT's the same with P3D -- some things might be added, others having to be removed because the facility is not accessible.

Thanks Pete, never mind.
