PowerFLARM leeching comments

Ah but the beauty of FLARM Stealth mode is that you can select it youself and make yourself harder to be leeched. Sure you then lose the ability to leech off ofhers, but if you are ahead in points it makes competitive sense to be stealthy, regardless of what the CD says.

So now do we have to have the CD mandate that stealth NOT be used by individual choice (use is noted in the logger file)?

This is going to be almost as fun as the great attitude indicator argument last winter!

I will be working on fast switching mode. Off when I'm behind and on when I am leading. My vote was for stealth mode for contests.

Non-stealth changes the game too much and too much time with pilots heads down looking at the displays.

I flew two nationals with it this year. It was useful for tactical information but will just lead to an arms race of upgrades in the future. The stealth mode provides plenty of safety without the additional data.

For fun flying I think it is great to keep track of the other pilots in your group.

No, you won't. Read the dataport spec.
