Good question. I always wondered if there was a way to scroll down thru the list also. It doesn't appear as if you can.

Traffic Toolbox/Explorer ?

i used to be able to hit a key on the keyboard like the page down key or the insert key to scroll through the list. last night i was pressing keys like a crazy person but i could not get it to work. in an area of a large airport, i can usually see the airbus planes to about the 737, but there is GA traffic, 757 and 67's and more. i'll keep pressing keys until i find it but maybe someone will beat me to it.

If you are speaking of the option to view AI traffic in the Views menu, the only ones which will show on the list are the ones which are "active" in the area you are in.It will not show anything beyond the approx. 128 square mile (that figure is from memory so may not be accurate) area you are in as visible AI traffic is only generated when the flightplans calls for it to be in the same block as you are.The amount of active traffic will of course depend upon your traffic slider settings.The HELP section of FSX also has more information regarding Views-AI traffic.Hope tha helps. :(

Click on one of the AI planes in the drop-down list then press the 'a' key and that will allow you to cycle through all the AI planes in your vicinity parked or flying.

In my opinion a much better way to view active AI traffic in your vicinity is to use the Traffic Toolbox utility which come bundled with the Deluxe version of FSX - it may be in higher versions also.Complete details for setting it up can be found here: http://www.fsdeveloper.com/wiki/index.php?...ation_%28FSX%29Be SURE to read and follow all the instructions carefully as it involves installing the SDK from your install disk and then updating the SDK with the correct update.This utility allows you to watch any active AI aircraft and shows exactly what the state of each one is (sleep, taxi out, take off, enroute, landing taxi in etc.). A great utility!!

thanks to both APM and OPA for their help. i will have to try traffic tools but the A key was the one i guess i was looking for.
