Probably only 2 guys on RC understand what it means to develop such software. Actions speak volume and the actions 3 out of 5 members of the RC committee took prove that they don't understand software development process. If they did they would have never voted on the Stealth mode or Competition mode until a proper solution was in place.

There are two or three software guys on the RC, depending on your definition. Some of them are optimists. :-)

There is an ongoing discussion between the IGC, representatives from UK soaring and Flarm on the topic of revisions to Stealth functionality. The RC will ascertain the status of that effort and whether specific concerns voiced by US pilots are being adequately addressed. I am hopeful that the RC would not inflict inappropriately spec'd or insufficiently tested software on the US racing pilot community. More information should be forthcoming later in the month.
