Possibility of JoinFS Traffic

Tim,

Would it be possible in a future release to display JoinFS traffic in Plan G? Similar to the option of VATSIM traffic. I can see other players when I am connected to JoinFS but they show up as red AI traffic and its hard to distinguish who is AI and who is real.

Also, one quirk I found with the last release is not being able to access my windows task bar when I have it set to "Auto Hide".  Even though I have the "Keep on top" unchecked in Plan G it still blocks the task bar from popping up whenever the Plan G window extends below the normal upper position of the task bar.

Thanks!

No, because there's no way for Plan-G to tell the difference either - it all looks like AI traffic.

Plan-G's window management hasn't changed since forever, so I'm not sure why you should suddenly see a difference.

- I understand they all look like AI traffic. Is there a way I can set AI color based on a name variable? In JoinFS we all fly with VaName_OurName. I was wondering if there is a way to tell Plan G if AI name starts with VaName make AI green.

- I will check on my end on the window management issue.

Thanks Tim for all you do for the sim community!

No, but I think something could be done along those lines. I'll look into it.
