Understanding Shared State

One of the key characteristics of the Legacy profile type is that stopbar states are shared between all controllers using the plugin. Unlike older versions of BARS, you do not “own” or “claim” a runway when managing stopbars. Any controller with the airport configured can toggle any stopbar, and all changes are immediately visible to other controllers and pilots.

Toggling Stopbars

To toggle a stopbar, simply left-click or right-click on the stopbar. Both mouse buttons perform the same action.
