Thanks Ruud for the feedback, seriously. See, we *really* love our logo, but we will find a solution. Technically you are of course right.

Regarding readability: The video shows how it looks when installed good.

Cheers
Marc



Marc has send me an update of the firmware.
This is how it looks now

I see this as an improvement, because you can much better make the distinction between red and green without a large red logo beside the TX and GPS indication.

Next step is growing up and getting rid of all non-essential information?
Or maybe paying some extra money to get rid of commercials like in some iPhone apps?

Would also be helpful if the time will show local time instead of GMT.

Hello all,
The Butterfly screen that indicates Flarm or PowerFlarm operation

isnormal

A big red indication (butterfly logo) that is not described in the

manual.
A big red indication usually is an indication of any abnormal situation in

a cockpit, especially in a cockpit of a power-plane.
For this reason I have asked the developers of Butterfly to remove the big

red butterfly from the screen during flight, because it's distracting
pilots attention.
This is the answer that I received a few days ago from Butterfly:

Hello Ruud,
thanks for your email.
We know that a red logo is not optimal in an aircraft cockpit but its the

logo of our company. We will not remove it, sorry.
For any questions we are happy to assist you.
Best wishes,

Obviously displaying their logo is more important than an optimal
indication in a cockpit...

Will the red logo be change to - air avionics (black)
