3.3 SIMULATION SETUP
Display Infobar: Activating this option will display additional information about the currently
viewed object at the bottom of the screen. This feature can also be toggled by the
"ToggleInfoBar" keypress (which is not mapped by default) while in 3D. Neither color nor type of
information displayed can be customized. GS refers to 'Ground Speed' while IAS is an acronym
for 'Indicated Air Speed'. This feature only works while in external views.
Radio Subtitles: By activating this feature it is now possible to display the radio messages heard
in the falcon universe. This feature is exclusively activated/deactivated in the configuration
screen, however it can be momentarily toggled by mapping and pressing the "ToggleSubTitles"
key. This key is not mapped by default. In the standard configuration, a message will be
displayed for 10 seconds, and up to 10 messages will be displayed at the same time. As more
messages are displayed, the more recent ones are added at the bottom of the display and move
their way up as the older messages get removed. You can configure both the 'time to live' (TTL)
and the maximum number of displayed messages by editing the "g_nSubTitleTTL" and
"g_nNumberOfSubTitles" options in the falconbms.cfg file. The time values for the
""g_nSubTitleTTL" option are in milliseconds.
Messages are displayed in different colours, which indicate the radio channel where they
originated from. The colours are as follows:
