## v1.263 (2025-06-08)
|
||
**AirScout Communication and Login Name**
|
||
|
||
**Changed:**
|
||
- AirScout communication fundamentally revised: Only stations with QRB < max-QRB are now sent to AirScout.
|
||
- Query interval extended from 12 seconds to **60 seconds**.
|
||
- Significantly less computation load and message traffic → more stable AirScout tracking.
|
||
- Name of the AS client and AS server is now configurable from the Preferences (was previously hardcoded to "KST" / "AS").
|
||
|
||
**Fixed:**
|
||
- "Track in AirScout" button was very sluggish → greatly improved by new communication logic.
|
||
- Name in chat is now saveable (bug fixed).
|
||
- Visual corrections before and after login.
|
||
- Bug fixed that was reported by 9A2HM (Kreso).

|
||
**Freeze Fix for Early Message Delivery**
