If advanced communication is enabled then several messages are sent between the clients (e.g. the selected screen item, the open chat windows, the entered message to the command line etc.) With the help of it you can write the command in one instance and click the aircraft in the second one and it will still work. On the other hand, when someone is connected to your proxy externally then it is not a good idea to see what he\/she is typing. This flag is set automatically.

If you must display more station data at one time you may run out of space for them (it is not too big area). In this case with a right click you can loop over the displayed metar data. A double-click will remove the clicked metar just as <code>F2<\/code> and &#8221;ICAO code&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Send screen to the next desktop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.euroscope.hu\/images\/3\/3a\/Menu23.gif\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This button is hidden unless you have a multi-monitor system.

But it has limited behavior. As EuroScope does not have a resizing frame around there is no meaning to make smaller than the screen. So the only difference between maximized and restored state of the screen is that in maximized state even the taskbar is covered by the radar. In restored state the taskbar is visible. My experience shows that when the screen is maximized MSN will show your state <em>busy<\/em> but not in restored state. Clicking here with the right button a popup menu appears that allows you to select the position of the window from a short list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Full<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Left half<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Right half<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Top half<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bottom half<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Left third<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Middle third<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Right third<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Left two third<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Right two third<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The selected position is used only if EuroScope is not maximized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.euroscope.hu\/images\/a\/a5\/Menu21.gif\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>No real need to comment on this function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Radar Screen Basic Lists On top of the screen, you can find the menu bar: Most of the menu items [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-886","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euroscope.hu\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/886","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euroscope.hu\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euroscope.hu\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euroscope.hu\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euroscope.hu\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=886"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/www.euroscope.hu\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/886\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1339,"href":"https:\/\/www.euroscope.hu\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/886\/revisions\/1339"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euroscope.hu\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=886"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
