Marc,



I would like the lower end of the display brightness range on the portable adjusted.



When flying at night (powered aircraft), the 10% or lowest LCD brightness setting is still so bright that it interferes with night vision.



Since it is unlikely the lower brightness settings are useful for daytime flying, perhaps make the lowest setting 5% instead of 10%?



thanks,



bumper


Marc, thanks for listening to your customers and for the quick followup.
I think you can keep the team flying feature and just hide the call sign when no flarm signal is received to prevent confusion. As for the font size, will be nice if you could also increase the PCAS font size (and + indicator) a little.
I also second Steve's suggestion to differentiate between flarm and ADS-B targets. This will be very helpful.
Other than that I have the following requests:
1 - Add PCAS distance. It is not possible to tell the distance when in a higher zoom mode just by looking at the radar circles.
2 - Add short beep to alert whenever a target was detected and the display switches from the red butterfly to the flarm radar. This will be very helpful in areas where there is no much traffic and one may not pay close attention to the butterfly display and may miss traffic as a result.

Thanks,

Ramy
