Hi I am using SD 38172 in iPhone connected to a Pilot Aware device with bearingless targets displayed.

On a recent flight I was surprised to receive an alert on screen warning about traffic "behind". Firstly I was not sure how you could tell that the traffic was behind being bearingless and more worryingly when I played the track back using Flight Aware the aircraft was actually ahead.

Thanks

Giles

Thanks Ian. I do not know the answers to most of your questions. We've only had a few reports of it too, and since there are really no configurable options, it's a bit of a mystery. There might be something in the protocol where a target goes from bearingless to bearing-full (which ought to be impossible) which could potentially trigger such a thing, but as I said, I'm hopeful that my fix in 3.8.2 will have put it to rest.

Hi Tim. If I wish to test/beta 3.8.2 is that possible?
