Hi
‌I'am using latest SD with Stratux as FLARM device on an iPad mini and can see all traffic around me. But the icons of the planes are in white and a little bit too small. It would be nice to have the possibility to change these settings like the icon of the chosen icon for the type of aircraft itself.

‌Thanks you in advance.

‌Kind regards

‌Stefan

Would love to be able to configure it to be similar/the same as TCAS type indicators ie hollow/filled white diamonds, yellow circles and red squares depending on relative distance/altitude.

@piperpa28,

I also use SkyDemon on an iPad Mini.

Are you aware that you can already increase the Text Size of the Aircraft Details up to 150% of the original size. This option is in the ‘Mapping’ Dropdown (the ‘layer of papers’ symbol at the extreme lower right of the main screen).

Although I haven’t had significant difficulty seeing the aircraft symbols themselves, I would support an option to be able to increase their size by a similar proportion to the text, though we need to be very careful that they don’t start to obscure more important information.

With regard to colour, the aircraft symbols already change from white to green, yellow, then red if / when they present a higher risk to your aircraft, so any change to base colour would have to maintain effective contrast so as not to detract from this warning function.

Also no objection from me to an option to display aircraft using ATC / TCAS symbols as long as it is an option, not the default.

Finally, @ Tim D... I don’t recollect seeing the large white circle round Ownship (though it has been several months since I have flown). What does it indicate and is this specific to the Stratux FLARM Traffic Source?

Best Regards

Peter
