Bingo!

As the technology advances we go faster and faster, the point spreads
get smaller, and the truly talented pilots don't stand out any more.

Nowadays we need fourth generation electronics to protect us from the
hazards created by the third generation electronics.

Who needs it?

Not true, see WGC 18M results http://www.flatlandcup.hu/2010/compe...85_18m_tot.htm
90% of pilots didn't use stealth mode, see the spread , in some tasks
just 15% finished task, based on above statement all should finish.
We don't circle 50% of the time during task any more, in some tasks we
don't circle at all, so as tactical tool Powerflarm is useless as
safety tool is superior.
The only way to avoid gagle is to fly OLC
