 The status bar 
 A status bar runs along the bottom of the window at all times. This is where your simulator connection lives (see Connecting your simulator ). It also shows a REC indicator with your flight number whenever a flight is actively being tracked, and an Arming countdown while a tracking session is about to auto-start, so you always know your tracking state no matter which tab you're on. 
 Click the connection status at the far left to open the Debug log . If you're having trouble, click Copy log there and paste it in a message to staff.
