Andy you are correct and thank you for correcting the question. Being able to hear an alert before you "eyes on" an alert is most important.

If you already have a ClearNav and were going to add a Flarm Brick, do you need a dedicated Flarm display as well on your panel, or does the ClearNav show the needed information just fine by itself? Opinions?







ClearNav flarm interface is still in development. The latest publicly



available beta is 2.2.0.25 and this has several known issues with



flarm (most apparent in a really high density flarm environment). I



am flying 2.2.0.31alpha and it's much better and quite stable, but



still does not include pcas alerts or the ability to switch flarm into



stealth mode. I'll see about getting a later version posted to the



website. We're not quite ready to say we can replace the dedicated PF



display.

update: Mode C/S & ADSB almost ready for public release. Inclination is to hold off on next release until this is all tested.



Evan Ludeman for CNi

Evan:

Just to clarify: the intent of the CN development is that CN will be able to completely substitute for a dedicated flarm display. Is this correct?

Like many others, I'm staring at this pile of flarm stuff in a box, with all its (ha ha) well thought out installation options... and if I could just dispense with the display that would be fantastic. Knowing where the CN development process is going helps a lot. Nothing has to work until spring.
