::* At the very right is a text box that allows you to see and change your current '''MP-callsign'''. So you can quickly change it, if e.g. a second ATC takes another role at the same airport (TW/APP/GND/RADAR, etc). You may change that ID also when starting the OpenRadar. <small>(ref. chapter [[Startup]])</small>
