Hi Simmers, Some time ago I came across a method of displaying, along with the usual inflight readout shown above in flight aircraft, the way you can also display the point of departure and destination added to the other information flashing, ie. the height,distance,identification etc. If I can remember the FS9 cfg is involved, but all details went when my last computer crashed, your help on this will be gratefully received, many thanks, Dobermann

The fs9.cfg section is....
[AContain]
ShowLabels=0
ShowUserLabel=0
ShowLabelManufacturer=1
ShowLabelModel=0
ShowLabelTailNumber=0
ShowLabelDistance=0
ShowLabelAltitude=0
ShowLabelAirline=0
ShowLabelAirlineAndFlightNumber=0
ShowLabelFlightPlan=0
ShowLabelContainerId=0
ShowLabelAirspeed=0
ShowLabelHeading=0
LabelDelay=1000
LabelColor=FFFF0000
The other method, besides manual edit, is to install the Traffic Toolbox SDK.

Dave.
Where does this new "Tools" menu appear?. I've installed the SDK but can't find a new menu anywhere.

Zaphod,
You have to copy the 'TrafficToolbox.dll' from the install to your ...\\Modules\ folder. The Tools menu will then appear in the in-flight screen's Alt menu.
