Hi Melchior,

I wrote the ATC display code ages ago, simply because I needed to.  Please feel free to rip it out and replace with something better.

It does (accidentally) have a few nice 'features' - 2 messages transmitted simultaneously are as unreadable on the display as they are indecipherable in real-life.  Unfortunately users keep thinking this is a bug, and complain about it!

'Wrote' might be rather flattering as well - IIRC I copied the FPS display code for the core of it ;-)

Cheers - Dave
