Tim, please make target icon and text size customizable! Also the text size from bearingless targets. It's almost impossible to see the height of the bearingless target and the bearingless target is not shown on the radar screen. Thanks.

I prefer to see relative altitude stated in "hundreds of feet", like normal TCAS systems would do. And like it is equally the conventional way to denote flight levels. So for example: "80" for 8,000 FT "3" for 300 FT Doing it is "thousands of feet" just creates leading zeros and commata without meaning. Why say (for 300Ft) "+0.3", if you can just say "+3", etc. That would help decluttering the display.

Hi Tim, yes the text. Not the icon. And only the next for the relative separation e.g +0.2. Not to fussed about the aircraft reg text. Many thanks. I'd also request this. I think it is a question of text size and perhaps contrast against the background. I find the vertical separation is the most important info (if available). Less bothered about reg info but this is still useful especially if flying as part of a group.

So far I've had one real SkyEcho/SkyDemon alert and the beastly helicopter appeared in the horizon clutter slightly below me, just where SD said it was. I'm not sure how SD could have given me more useful information.

M Group: Forum Members Posts: 4, Visits: 0	I would also like this to be looked at. I can't see + or - icon in front of the height unless I really look hard. I only want to glance at SD. So, is the aircraft +0.2 or -0.2. Useful to know where to look!!

We may change their size in the future dynamically, so we do not plan on offering an option to control their size. Bear in mind that their size is proportional to the size of your own aircraft icon, so you can increase that in order to increase them.
