Thank you for the explanation. A good tip to only select only one aircraft type with the same livery. I called it a hack, as that's what Just Flight call it. I suppose 'workaround' would be more accurate. I certainly wouldn't call it a solution, as it uses a feature of X-Plane in a way that it wasn't designed for. If ever Laminar Research were to modify or remove that feature, the workaround might/would no longer work. Therefore, since Just Flight provide "the location and other details of all AI aircraft in a way which other developers can easily use", Pilot2ATC connecting directly with Traffic Global still seems to be a good idea to me.

Hi Dave, In the Traffic Global X-Plane manual, it mentions the weakness of the TCAS hack only being able to show the 19 aircraft closest to the pilot. Referring to that weakness, it says: "To try to help this situation, Traffic Global provides the location and other details of all AI aircraft in a way which other developers can easily use. Example source code in C++ is provided as part of the installation. It can be found in the Traffic Global directory, called ‘DatarefTest.cpp’. Other languages should be very easily converted." Would it be possible for Pilot2ATC to use that information and allow us to do away with the TCAS hack? Regards, Rich
