Hi,



we have released a new software version 3.2 for the PowerFLARM displays/Butterfly displays that increases font-size by 40% (which is a lot). Some other minor changes are included as well.



• Better readability, larger fonts

• Shows installed PowerFLARM® licenses

• Support for latest FLARM® error codes

• Shows next XPDR target in list view

• minor improvements and bugfixes



We have received (negative) feedback from some of you regarding readability. Although we can not change issues that come from screen/sunglass polarization we tried to improve the situation with font-readability and now have way larger fonts that are easier to read.



Please read this manual if you wish to install the update:

Thanks a lot for your feedback and always happy landings

Thanks Marc, the fonts are bigger now, but... the +/- sign needs a magnifying glasses to read them. I need to remove my sunglasses to be able to tell if the altitude difference is above or below my altitude, which is the most important piece of information. So I am surprised why the fonts were increased while the +/- indicator was decreased, or so it seems near the larger fonts.

Another issue, which I also brought up earlier and was disappointing to find out it was not fixed yet is one which causes a lot of confusion mainly with new users:
Whenever only PCAS signal is received, the call sign of the last flarm target received will show up, although the only signal received now is PCAS so it has no idea what the call sign is, so instead it shows the last one, even if that particular aircraft has landed long ago. Even knowing about this flaw I occasional get confused and believe I get a signal from the wrong glider. This is especially noticeable for those registered with Flarmnet, as the actual contest ID is showing making it even more confusing. This is a silly bug which should have been fixed by now. The fix is simple, to not show the last call sign when PCAS signal is received.

When can we expect those issues to be fixed?

Thanks,

Ramy
