Default PowerFLARM Range Issues - Part Two with info from todays flights

David,

that's a good idea and we'll keep it in mind when it comes
to further development decisions!

My solution to that is simple. The third party app or device can as

easily keep track of all thermalling/climbing gliders withing Flarm

range at all times and present them to the pilot in some order of

preference such as some smart combination of distance and climb rate.

Then all the struggling pilot needs to do is, for example, tap on the

first one on the list (~1 second) and voila, he gets the voice vector.



All am saying is that it would be highly beneficial to keep a forward

looking approach because it has been shown again and again we don't

really know what the killer app is going to be that will stimulate the

widest adoption. And the widest adoption is what the Flarm concept

(and we all) needs for it to really succeed.



Best,



David

(proud early adopter of many many devices, including a Brick

PowerFlarm).
