Hi all
 Yesterday I had the Magician "Anmer" remote connect and set up my old SBS, everything was working fantastic. Today I noticed the 3rd column in on the Basestation radar screen " Show Trail" is blank, I'm sure in previous usages years ago this was the reg column! is this something I have to toggle/

Another possible issue is reporter is only picking up aircraft when the PC screen is awake. in fact when the PC screen goes into hibernation the SBS stops talking to it on the Radar screen as well. Again is this something I need to fiddle with?

I've never understood the Show Trail column.

The Reference Manual states:

"The Show Trail column indicates whether or not the aircraft is being individually tracked".

If I enable the Show Trail column to display in the Aircraft List, it remains blank even if I select an aircraft on the map.  How else can it be tracked?

You can rearrange the columns to suit yourself.  The Aicraft List Configurator is included in the SBS Resources download.

Check your PC Power settings.

If (only) your screen is set to Sleep mode, the PC should still run and continue updating the BaseStation.sqb file.

But if the PC is also set to go to Sleep, it will not.

Thanks for the update.

Was it the PC's Power Setting that needed changing?
