Default Inertial sensing in Butterfly Vario, TE vs Airmass indicators

Chris,

I was not able to get the master vario to pass Flarm traffic data to the second unit. Perhaps this has been fixed in the most recent software update?

Yes, this now works since software 1.06.

It seems that you cannot get the Butterfly vario traffic page to identify Flarm traffic and let you select individual targets to display distances, climb rates, etc. Marc, will this be feature be coming in a future update? It would be nice to have the Butterfly vario units obsolete the need for a separate Flarm display.

We may do that in the future, however actually we do not intend to integrate too many features that obsolete traffic displays and require in-flight user input. We believe that traffic should be displayed prominently on a separate screen directly in the line of sight when looking outside and that there should be no user interaction required.

Cheers
Marc
