Jeff Hall Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 I have been trying to set up the labels for on-line Aircraft. The manual details changing the values in trafficAssignment.txt using the column numbers used in the Traffic Monitor. When I set the Line 2 to include {10} which is shown as the Altitude, what I actually get is the difference between the Aircraft I am flying and the Aircraft I am monitoring. The Altitude/FL is shown in column 10 of the Traffic Monitor with no indication the level difference. Have I missed something Jeff Hall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aivlasoft Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Hi Jeff, the field "Altitude" in the Traffic Monitor always indicates the TRUE altitude (without correction according to the current calibration). This might lead to a significant deviation from the value which is indicated on your Altimeter in the cockpit. Because there is no data available about the current Altimeter calibration of each of the AI/online aircraft, we decided to better indicate just the difference between the aircraft than display a value which does not correlate with what you are reading from your instruments. BTW, also any TCAS system does only indicate the ALT difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Hall Posted December 7, 2019 Author Share Posted December 7, 2019 OK thanks - but the altitude indicated in the table is the actual altitude whereas the aircraft tag shows differential altitude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
