In addition the user may add some more informations in additional lines. We urge you to reduce these additional lines to a minimum, because already with 2 lines the list will become that long, that you must scroll constantly! These additional lines will be saved as target-data and inserted each time a new stripe is created for that target! We suggest to maintain some target-data and some flight data for all frequent visitors. See as a suggestion several 3rd line examples:
In addition You may add some more unique informations in additional lines. We urge you to reduce these additional lines to a minimum, because already with 2 lines the list may become that long, that you must scroll constantly! These additional lines will be saved as target-data <small>''(see ../OpenRadar/Settings/atcComments.xml)''</small> and inserted each time a new stripe is created for that target! See as a suggestion a typical last line for a unique target name:
:"ILS VOR FGC NRW || and personal remark"
:<small>This pilot knows how to use ILS, VOR, FGcom, the new Runway at EDDF || and personal remark</small>


"ILS VOR FGC NRW || GED MTR"
You are absolutely free to define your own codes and whatever. To do so:
<br /><small>This pilot knows how to use ILS, VOR, FGcom, the new Runway at EDDF || he is advised to approach via VOR GED and MTR.</small>
* enter/edit those data by opening the "'''''Note Editor'''''" with a '''center mouse-click''' ''<small>(Mac: Alt + right mouse-click)</small>'' onto the stripe. There you have several areas to add unique informations:  
 
:* At the top of this editor you can
"ILS VOR FGC NRW || KJFK 280° f510"
::* select in which '''''native language''''' the "standard commands" shall be transmitted (in addition) to that target
<br /><small>This pilot also can use ILS, VOR, FGcom, NRW || and will depart to JFK on a straight course of 280° on FL510"</small>
::* mark if that target uses Radio ''(the label now says "FgCom", but you may use that for any Radio-usage)''
 
:* the upper, larger input-block at the bottom is planed to be used for additonal FligtPlan-data or extended lists of waypoints.
You are absolutely free to define your own codes and whatever. To do so
:<small>''The above data may be distributed to all ATC's.''</small>
*enter/edit those data by opening the "'''''Note Editor'''''" with a right mouse-click ''<small>(Mac: Alt + right mouse-click)</small>'' while pressing  onto the stripe
:* the lower, smaller input-block you may use for your personal requirements, they will not be distributed, but they will be retrieved automatically each time that target reappears on your screen.
*add additional lines by Strg+ENTER (remember: Not more than 2, please!)
:* all other (Flight-Plan) data will be explained in the next chapter: [[Flight-Plan & Flight-Management]]
*Always exit that Editor with the ENTER-key in order to transfer the data to the stripe!
* exit the Flight-Stripe-Editor clicking into any area outside of it.
*At the bottom of this editor you can also select in which '''''additional language''''' the "standard commands" shall be transmitted to that target.

You can '''''manipulate the listing''''' regarding the vertical and horizontal position of the flight strips:
You can '''''manipulate the listing''''' of the flight strips:
* New radar-targets will always appear at the end of the list on the right side and will be colored in lightgreen (that green will disappear when you touch that lable first time - thus you always know which ones you have already actively noticed!)
* New radar-targets will always appear at the end of the list on the right side
* You can move the stripes in vertical order by drag and drop
* You can move the stripes in vertical order by drag and drop
* You can place them in three horizontal columns (left, middle and right) either by dragging them with the hold-down mouse button or by mouse-clicks left or right of the stripes ''(you may double-click to move directly from one side to the other)''
* You can place them in three horizontal columns (left, middle and right) either by dragging them with the hold-down mouse button or by mouse-clicks left or right of the stripes ''(you may double-click to move directly from one side to the other)''
* with the "'''''AUTO'''''"-button at the upper edge of this area you can define that the stripes will be sorted automatically into groups according to their left/center/right position. This may be very irritating at first - so you may want to switch that "AUTO" off at first usages!

* The radar-targets will change their color according to the horizontal position of their stripe:
* The radar-targets will change their color according to the horizontal position of their stripe:
** the radar-targets for stripes at the right side will be '''green''' - these are all targets when initialized!
** the radar-targets for stripes at the right side will be '''green''' - these are all targets when initialized - i.e. they are not under your controll - any ATC in the area can take control of them
** the radar-targets for stripes in the center will be '''yellow'''
** the radar-targets for stripes in the center will be '''yellow'''
** the radar-targets for stripes at the left side will be '''cyan'''
** the radar-targets for stripes at the left side will be '''cyan'''

You cannot change these combinations of color and position -- but you might define your own definition of what the positions mean! We suggest the following:
You cannot change these combinations of color and position -- but you might define your own definition of what the positions mean! We suggest the following:
:'''''green''''' = right = initial position: Means not yet defined or not under my control (e.g. passing through on high altitude, is controlled by another ATC, etc.)
:'''''green''''' = right = initial position: Means not yet defined or not under my control (e.g. passing through on high altitude, is controlled by another ATC, etc.)
:'''''yellow''''' = center = I expect him to get under my control when in range (e.g. 60 mi), or he may be transfered to me by another ATC soon, etc. He may become a danger to the traffic controlled by me if he continues uncontrolled!
:'''''yellow''''' = center = I expect him to get under my control when in range (e.g. 60 mi), or he may be transfered to me by another ATC soon, or he may become a danger to the traffic controlled by me if he continues uncontrolled! etc.
:'''''cyan''''' = left = under my control (light cyan when active in the MPchat input-line!)
:'''''cyan''''' = left = under my control.
Again: That is a proposal - you can define your on assignments!

You can apply the following mouse-actions onto the stripes as well as onto the radar-targets:
You can '''apply the following mouse-actions''' onto the stripes as well as onto the radar-targets:
*a '''''single left''''' mouse-click '''''selects/activates''''' it, i.e. its radar-target becomes "light cyan" and its UID is set into the MPchat input-line. In addition
* a '''''single left''''' mouse-click '''''selects/activates''''' it, i.e. its radar-target becomes "light cyan" and its UID is set into the MPchat input-line. In addition
**its listed messages in the MPchat-list become colored cyan
