# Labels

Find the `Display Objects IDs` menu below the 3D view and open it to find the `Selected Objects Labels` and `Unselected Aircraft Labels` submenus. For each submenu, define what information is displayed in object labels. You can configure different label content for selected objects and for unselected objects.

For unselected non-aircraft objects, Tacview will take care of de-cluttering the labels. See below for more options.

### Customizing the distance at which the labels are displayed

Tacview has several methods of decluttering labels in the 3D view. If they are not working for you, you can change some of the options.

First, make sure you are running at least Tacview 1.9.3.

Next, open Windows Registry and import the registry keys found here:

[LabelDistancesTacviewStable.reg](https://ln5.sync.com/dl/0045abc10/9zgwpu42-sc84nmk5-mcqpww3r-cs7z6ui2)

[LabelDistancesTacviewBeta.reg](https://ln5.sync.com/dl/91b3595b0/55xadnxw-w2hp3acu-98mx435x-b72hm546)

Notice that you have to deal separately with Tacview beta and Tacview stable.

In the registry key, `Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Raia Software Inc.\Tacview (beta)\Global\Display\Labels`, and/or `Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Raia Software Inc.\Tacview\Global\Display\Labels`, make the desired changes.

The distances are in meters.

For ships which do not have engagement ranges, use `LowThreatLabelDistance`. If it does have an engagement range, use `SAMLabelDistance`.
