Until recently, the traffic labels I receive for other airborne aircraft were limited to info selected in the Settings - Traffic - Aircraft labels.
My settings are as follows:
Air Traffic Types - "Airline" and "General Aviation" both ticked;
Air traffic density - 57%;
Aircraft Labels - Show Aircraft labels, Show manufacturer' Show model, Show distance, Show altitude, - all checked.

Recently, the labels have started including:
Airline Name (e.g. - "Air Canada")
Airline Flight number (e.g. "Air Canada 904")
Speed (e.g. "295 KIAS")
Direction ( e.g. "185 deg)
Flight Plan (e.g "CYYZ > KMIA (IFR)"

I have not knowingly downloaded anything which may have caused the display of this useful info. I'm just curious as to the source of it.

I found out that the info in respect to what is displayed is in the fs9.cfg file where I discovered the extra display items were marked "1". I don't know how they got changed, but I can now decide what info I want displayed.

IMHO it is so much easier to install the free TrafficToolBox utility from Microsoft which allows you to easily change a number of AI parameters - while you are flying - including numerous label tags.

To me it is better than a "permament" edit in the fs9.cfg file.

this is the area that got 'affected'.  There is nothing bad about it at all, just it gives out more info.
