Rather Embarrassing Question, Regarding ADS-B "New Coloured Bar"

Post by Hornchurch » Sun Oct 25, 2020 10:51 am

'

As per title, it's a rather embarrassing question (in my mind, at least !)


So an MC or C.130 flies over this morning, on a Sunday, directly above my house.

I sign-in to ADS-B (radar tracking), to see callsign "Bronco.51"

BUT ; As I do so, there's this "daft/stupid" looking BAR underneath, about 4/5th's down the screen - (It's a much UNWANTED 'Altitude-Indicator')

Hogging FAR too much of the lower-screen & proving to be a "much annoying distraction", :grr: mainly due to it's intense & "bright colouration"

FAR, far, far too much of an annoying "visual distraction", on top of what is an otherwise fairly "dull" looking map.

Invariable question is..... "HOW THE HELL DO I GET RID OF IT ?"

Any help for this dim-wretch is appreciated...... (as long as it's "sensible")

heers, 'H.C.'

Brian, you ARE a star.

Thank you SO much, my man !

We spoke MANY years ago, many moons back, as back then, you had an "Alpha.A350" (Sony/Minolta Digital Camera) & I'd just bought one.

You'll NOW tell me that THAT was around 12-14 years ago ? (Laughs !)

Time flies & no-one seems to 'know' where it goes....

Or, that seemingly, as we all get older, someone "up there" is "putting their foot-down" HARD on the "Accelerator-Pedal-of-Time" :grr:

Anyways, thanks again for the super-easy to follow directions - I went-in & within 30-seconds, "Voila" = No more stupid annoying 'Bar'

Cheers ! :thumb:
