Apologies if this has been raised before - tried searching without success.

I'm running PilotAware via Skydemon and have issues seeing the plotted aircraft on the screen amongst the other chart data.  My screen is either on my knee pad or on the instrument panel in an Autogyro.  I was wondering of we could have an option to increase the size of the PilotAware plotted aircraft in Skydemon and its altitude difference data (much like our own aircraft icon) or change its colour so it is more obvious and stands out in relation to the chart being plotted.  In short, I need a way of increasing the contrast between the PAW aircraft and chart.

Thanks,

H

It is very much by design that non-threatening aircraft are not very big. That means that on a busy day, you do not lose vital map detail because of large aircraft symbols covering it up.

Other aircraft that are close enough to be advised on by our verbal traffic information, or warned about (if they are very close indeed) are currently drawn in a different colour. We could consider temporarily enlarging such aircraft symbols if it were a popular demand.

Give us an option to make them bigger and let the user decide what suits them?  It's a waste of time having traffic on the map at the moment as the targets are very, very difficult to see when glancing at the screen.  ( I already have a flarm display that warns me of collision risk so it is just the SA I'm looking for. ).
