Hi,

 

I am slowly getting my head around vpilot and think its a great bit of software. Just a quick question on if there is a way of increasing the time on the FSX message bar? Because especially on unicom channel, i see the message but it is only viewable for about 2 seconds?

vPilot tells SimConnect to display the text for a certain number of seconds, depending on word count. It counts the words in the message, divides by 3, and displays the message for that number of seconds, with a minimum of 5. So if you're only seeing them for 2 seconds, then maybe something is interfering ... are you running any other SimConnect software that might be messing with the on screen text?
