I have disabled ES symbology for the Aircraft as instructed int he manual.

The problem is that it seems that topsky doesn't draw the symbols as it should.

My current scope looks like this.

What am i missing?

Based on those images alone it could be anything really. The bottom one appears to display primary radar target symbols. If that's true, then the plugin does at least draw something on the screen. Why it's then not drawing the symbol in the top one, I don't know. If you have selected to display squawk standby targets, it may be that the aircraft didn't have its transponder on and if it was outside primary radar coverage, the plugin wouldn't then show any track symbol, but that's just a guess.

Thank you for the reply.

Do you have an image as to what the Topsky symbol would look like?

The symbols the plugin is set up to use can be checked by clicking the “View” button for the Symbols data file in the Plugin Status menu.

So now its getting clearer...

I have "BAD DATA" so it means that something is wrong in the settings and that is the reason why they don't show up.
