Default The truth about Flarm Stealth and Competition definition...

I love this logic. Let's suppress flarm output so no one suppresses flarm output.


Well, OK, Andrew, maybe I should have been more specific. Would you agree that not all the information coming from Flarm is relevant to safety? Some have suggested that a competition mode that does not present contest ID's and climb rate would do nicely to reduce the incentive to suppress or turn off Flarm. Is this not a reasonable compromise?
