            I have MMM-Flights working well except mapFixedArea: true, seems to be ignored.

            The map changes width depending upon the ac in the area.

            663449c8-671d-42c4-8c18-74c65bc38a68-image.png

            Also the map shows even with no traffic and showMap: “ifTraffic”,

            Any ideas or thoughts?

                yes, the map changes width because of the length of the flight data in the table below, the area inside the map does not change. You can test this with setting mapFontColor: "red", so you see the area points.

                But I have to rethink this behavior or provide an option for a fixed width.

                Also the map shows even with no traffic and showMap: “ifTraffic”,

                will look into this, I did a rewrite of the module so maybe this was lost …

                      @lif please NEVER edit the source file. unless you KNOW what you are getting yourself into.

                      all config should go in config.js
                      everything in the defaults section can be overridden in config.js

                      also on forum posts use the code block wrapper for all code and config.

                          When the {module}.js file has lines which state something like
                          'units: “imperial”, // metric uses m and km/h, imperial uses ft and mph,
                          I assume that it can be changed in the {module}.js file.

                          everything in the defaults section can be overridden in config.js

                          Some modules list all the options in the example that goes into the config.js file, MMM-Flights (and many others) don’t.

                          also on forum posts use the code block wrapper for all code and config.

                                  no.

                                  in config.js

                                  the design is config js is used to override the values set in the modulename.js defaults section

                                  lacking documentation is a different probem.

                                  if you find properties in the defaults section you can override them in config.js

                                    @lif I have a module that presents a form for config customization, built on the fly based on the modules you have installed now

                                    it uses the values from defaults

                                    https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-Config

                                    in places where there could be choices, the author can augment the definition to make it more usable and understandable.

                                    not every module works some need help.
                                    if the module is old or the author chooses not to provide an improved definition, I can ship one created by a user, with my module to make the user experience better.

                                      in places where there could be choices, the author can augment the definition to make it more usable and understandable.

                                      not every module works some need help.
                                      if the module is old or the author chooses not to provide an improved definition, I can ship one created by a user, with my module to make the user experience better.

                                      Nice advert :-) but I’ve never been able to cut and paste, in some cases , 20 - 30 lines of options from the module config file to config.js using a command line editor if the author doesn’t give all the options in the default config.js example on Git Hub.

                                        @lif it’s a fun challenge.

                                        the downside of changing the modulename.js file is, when an update comes, git pull will fail. and YOU have to figure it out.

                                        everything takes work. I’m just trying to help you learn the best practice so you don’t get smashed later on.

                                          Hi! Thank you for the module, it is my favorite on my MM, as I live on the flight path to KIAD, so lots of activity.

                                          I am wondering if there is a way I can hide the horizontal line which is under the ‘Flights’ label. When there are no flights, the line is still visible, and I would love if I were able to hide it somehow. I’m happy to add something to custom.css, but I am unsure how to do so. Thanks!

                                            @stashu So, there is indeed custom.css entry you can use the hide the separator on the header…

                                            BUT I want to teach you how to find these things yourself… so you won’t be dependant on waiting for someone

                                            see the second link in my signature below, it will show you how to use the developers window elements tab and locate the element that is displaying the thing you want to modify/hide…

                                            in the upper right window you can try different styles on the selected element to see its behavior and once you’ve found it, you can copy paste those styles into custom.css
                                            and put the selector wrapper around it.

                                            the selector chain is shown on the bottom of the elements window , for example here on another element
