[Kho Khai 1268789]

Hello all,

I am new and need to know how to use XSquawkbox.

I have NO VOICE, so i need to type with XSquawkbox with ATC.

1) How to move the XSquawkbox to another monitor ?

2) How to bring out the previous messages ( If you need to refer back to previous messages )

3) How to make the text message larger?

4) How to check Departure/Arriving airport METAR with this XSquawkbox ?

5) How to check On Line ATC with this XSquawkbox ?

Thanks

Hi Kho!

 

I am new and need to know how to use XSquawkbox.

Several of your questions are already answered in the XSquawkBox docomeentation. Please, read it carefully and before coming online, remember to read the VATSIM CoC & CoR as well. You can find the docomeentation at the following location:

<X-Plane>/Resources/plugins/XSquawkBox/Docs

How to move the XSquawkbox to another monitor ?

You can't, at least not in an intuitive way. If I recall correctly, there was a non-docomeented command to do it, but I can't seem to remember it right now.

How to bright out the previous messages

When the text window is open, use the Page Up/Down keys to scroll through the messages.

How to make the text message larger?

Changing the font size is currently not possible.

How to check Departure/Arriving airport METAR with this XSquawkbox ?

.wx <ICAO>

.metar <ICAO>

How to check On Line ATC with this XSquawkbox?

You can configure a key to show the online controllers list in the XSquawkBox Preferences Menu.

 

Once again, many (if not all) of these questions are already answered in the XSquawkBox manual. Please have a look at it

Best regards,
