That should be for the network, hardware flights are those that you receive on your kit.

It does sound like your drivers aren't installed, check the two pages below

If your in the UK it may be that the airspace is pretty quiet at the moment being late at night so you may not have much going on.

The network requires a subscription and can be bought from:

If you click on the sign left of the sign with a 95 on it in the menu bar you can choose what you want displayed, such as the name of the airports or just the identifier.

Also advice us on what software you are using? Best to use the latest version, it also comes with a pdf manual which should help you indentify the main functions.

Download the Pro version from

http://www.airnavsystems.com/download/anrb/403/ANRB403Setup.exe

The airport signs is left of the 95 sign, not the 95 sign, It should give you options on not only airport signs.

Regarding your traffic, checking on the bottom left hand corner the the hardware is connected and is green and also you should see a number next to Msgs/Per second.

When you click on the aviation sign button (the arrow pointing down) if you go station labels you can then select station names/id/box.

To change the map colours, click on the button next to the right arrow in the menu. This will give you the choices of map colours.

As mentioned earlier, please have a quick read through of the manual, a lot of this is covered in the manual with pictures so its easy to follow.

Robin Hood (Doncaster) is not included in the suplied airports but can be added via download from Outlines. It's worth your while spending some time searching and reading through the forum for info and tips.

Your ability to monitor runway activity will depend of your position - remember that this is line of sight reception.
