I think an example of the Flarm display is in the Oudie/SeeYou manual.

Here are some screenshots of Oudie's flarm radar & warning.

I still think the Oudie farm warning leaves much to be desired, but its all about personal preference. You can see in the photo's that you have to read text and numbers to determine if the traffic is level, up or down. I don't see a red glider in this photo. Depending on which view your in, understanding the relative position of the "red glider" might become confusing (North up, heading, track, portrait or landscape, etc).

Sean,

I don't fly with an Oudie but with a PowerFlarm -V7- Ultimate Le system so my screen is larger and more viewable. I get warning indications on the Ultimate Le and for close in collision warning on the Ultmate Le & V7.

Maybe the visual warning does leave something to be desired but it is also accompanied by the voice warning from the lady giving clock position and above or below feet. I believe the red traffic in picture 2 was 2.36km/1.5nm out and your SeeYou zoom level did not allow it to be seen. I call that an informational warning. The clock position will be shown relative to your glider in what ever screen orientation you have set.


Flarm tarffic can be set to zoom level of the screen. I have mine set to always so the traffic is always seen in every zoom level if it is with in that zoom level. If you are zoomed in to 1 mile you will not see the red traffic on the screen at 1.5 miles,(off the screen) but will still get the lady warning. I see flarm traffic 4 to 6 nautical miles out and really never get warnings that I am not aware of.
