Pro Controller offers many customization options.  To configure Pro Controller simply double click on the radar display or go to File | Options.   Below find descriptions for the various settings under the options menu:

Next Tab

The BRITE tab configures the radar display in general.

Use the Airspace Floor value to filter (do not display) all aircraft below a given altitude (MSL).  The Airspace Ceiling can be used to filter aircraft above a certain altitude (MSL).

Pro Controller has a built in conflict alert system (CAS).  The horizontal and vertical separation fields set the minimum distances required between each plane without resulting in a "conflict".

Sometimes you will want to ignore conflicts below a certain altitude (when planes are landing for instance).  The Ignore Conflicts Below option allows you to do this.

To set the distance between each range ring on the BRITE display use the Range Rings Distance trackbar.

To set the distance of the extended runway centerlines use the Runway Centerline Distance trackbar.

Pro Controller will project where a plane will be in X number of minutes with a line exteneding out from the target.  To set the number of minutes ahead that Pro Controller projects use the Time Lines Show trackbar.

You can customize the fonts PC uses for various text on the radar display by selecting which text in the Display Area combo box then click the Change button.
