Default FLARM abuse in competitions

See item # 8:
8) RelativeVertical degraded with (distance / 50) white noise when
other aircraft is not a threat.

Therefore a glider in 1 km distance (with enabled Stealth mode) will
have a 20m altitude error added (changing randomly every second).
This should make climb rate displays less usefull than looking outside
and judging the other glider's climb rate conventionally.

Thus my plea for you to stop providing the information that these
devices depend on to show this information. *Another alternative would
be to blank the altitude of anything 1k


This has been taken care of, as no information about (non conflicting,
stealth mode) aircraft 1 km away is provided at all.
See item #6
