Ralphhome Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 How come my FSX menu bar has started listing air traffic aircraft along the bar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f16jockey_2 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 It has always done that, you just didn't notice. Wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 It has always done that, you just didn't notice. Wim ?? Am I missing something? Can someone post a screenshot of AI being listed across the menu bar? Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pvarn Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I'm also curious and would like to see a screenshot. Traffic will be listed in the views menu, but not the menu bar itself, but yes if you are referring to the views menu, it's normal for traffic to be select-able there, even multiplayer. I often use it to watch my friends land from their perspective. Traffic showing up on the bar itself sounds like a pretty severe graphic fault which a reboot should clear. If not, you may have a bad graphics driver. If this is the case, will the listings go away when you hide the bar (hold alt)? Are you flying full screen or windowed? -Pv- 2 carrot salad, 10.41 liter bucket, electric doorbell, 17 inch fan, 12X14, 85 Dbm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was also thinking about the right-click on the screen menu and that definitely shows Air Traffic. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!

f16jockey_2 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 ... across the menu bar? As Paul pointed out, it's part of the "Views" menu. But that's not really "across", now I think of it :) Wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pvarn Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Right click on the menu bar? Just when I thought I knew the answer to life, the universe and everything. Thinking more on it there are many reasons the OP may not have seen traffic in their Views menu until now. -Pv- 2 carrot salad, 10.41 liter bucket, electric doorbell, 17 inch fan, 12X14, 85 Dbm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pvarn Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I stopped being 42 22 years ago so only half the people should read 1/2 of what I type, 1/2 the time. The math still requires deep thought. -Pv- 2 carrot salad, 10.41 liter bucket, electric doorbell, 17 inch fan, 12X14, 85 Dbm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphhome Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share Posted September 3, 2018 Thanks for full responses. Not drop-down, along the bar. Anyway, the reboot response seems to have done the trick till next time. None of the clicking worked. Many thanks all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the clicking worked. Many thanks all. Show us a picture of this "along the bar". By any stretch of my "pea pickin'" imagination, are you using a program called AISmooth? I used it a few years ago and I just remembered that it shows a running list of AI aircraft that are moved out of your way along the top of the screen?

il88pp Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Perhaps the trafficexplorer utility that comes with the fsx-SDK. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llivaudais Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Well, I was feeling a bit left out until I realized that I don't have Traffic turned on and I'm too far from any airport to have a runway view: in game selections and location apparently make a difference.

kingnorris Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 It’s happened to me as well. AI aircraft spread across the top of the menu bar. It’s usually when traffic is high; coming into San Fran, it happens a lot. I’m away from my computer so I don’t have a screenshot.

Jeff, I have never seen that even coming into KSFO or KJFK and ATC is rattling off several dozen landing instructions to the multitudes of AI.:confused: Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!

f16jockey_2 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 It’s usually when traffic is high... ... and most probably your computer was already running close to it's limits before the AI traffic injection? Wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRJ_simpilot Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 If traffic is showing up along the menu bar at the top, then I suspect a rouge module or FS corrpution due to an add-on. Or it's an add-on its self. What modules do you have installed? OOM errors? Read this.

CRJ_simpilot Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Oh yeah... you could be on to something.. I do have FSDT ground services and their McCarron airport installed.. To rule out a module you could temp disable it under the dll.xml I think it's called where FSX.cfg is at. There's another for executable modules, too. When I go fly tonight I'll look for the correct names. I'm on my laptop so I don't know right now. OOM errors? Read this.

CRJ_simpilot Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Okay, looking here it is in fact dll.xml and for executable modules it's exe.xml. I would backup the dll.xml file and then remove one module at a time until the issue is gone to find the module that may be doing this. The format looks like this: FSUIPC 4 False Modules\FSUIPC4.dll So it would be that block of text you'd have to temp remove. Notice the and closing You might be able to put a // in front of each line, but I don't know if XML works like that for omissions. OOM errors? Read this.
