Default Experience with Flarm "Stealth" and Competition modes

The advantage is with power flarm you can see the climb rate of others around you as well as where they are. Imagine seeing 3 gliders 3 miles out with two of them going up 250 fpm and the third going up at 700 fpm. I have a good idea which thermal you will be heading to. It is very fun to see how everyone around you is actually climbing.

I can't count the number of times I dashed over to a climbing sailplane only to NOT find lift below it. LOL! Some say the one above was in a rising "bubble"; I think it more likely I just was off that day.
