Ozflarm connected to Altair works really well. Altair uses XCSoar but is
somewhat different to XCSoar for PDAs. I presume a powerflarm would work with Altair. There is 2 displays, one pop-up display that shows all traffic in green but conflcts in red with a direction vector, plus another display on main map including climb-rates and comp IDs if loaded.

One possibility I am considering is to not use the brick's Butterfly display at all, assuming I can get adequate display/warnings from FLARM data displayed on one of the many PDA/PNA moving map displays available these days. Does anyone have experience with FLARM display on WinPilot PRO v9, SeeYou Mobile on an Oudie or other display, ClearNav, or other? =A0Is the integrated display good enough to replace the Butterfly display? TIA, TA Clearnav shows surrounding traffic, but like the others I have seen (winpilot, seeyou), the display is designed to complement, not substitute for, the collision display. I connected powerflarm to clearnav at Uvalde. The good news is, it works. Clearnav shows the other gliders. But when there is a collision alert powerflarm shows you which glider is the problem by making the other glider larger and red. Clearnav (for now) doesn't show which other glider is causing the interference. The CN display is also not designed to take over the functionality of the big powerflarm button. Of course with powerflarm in the US for a grand total of about 3 weeks so far, it's an easy bet that the other software will all be modified over the winter to take better advantage of it. Still, conventional wisdom seems to be to put the PF display somewhere where you can see it. John Cochrane |
