As a new user of Xsquawkbox on Xplane, I notice quite a few differences from FS9.

The one thing that irritates me is the message window (the window where one sees other peoples txt) it only stays open for a few seconds.

Is there any way to keep this window open or to be able to open and close it at will?

Thanks

Allan

TAB key.

 

It's been a few years, but I recall reading that in the brief instruction manual that came with the plugin. There are lots of good keyboard shortcuts in there, check 'em out.

Are you sure it's only "A second?" Because I think the default is around 30 seconds. A few helpful shortcuts-

 

.msg [Callsign] message

.metar [iCAO Code]

 

.metar will give you the metar or the message- "No Weather for [iCAO]" It will have the weather unless it's a Delta airport for the most time.
