Hi there,

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

I am using Pilotaware with Skydemon and I really enjoy the audio warnings since that maximizes my out of the Cockpit looking time.

However most traffic is bearingless mode S and I find it difficult to pick up bearing less targets in SD. AFAIK they is no info in the traffic screen that there is a bearing less target. I only see it on the moving map.

I know bearingless target info has its limitations. However it would help me a lot to get an audio warning: "bearingless target same altitude (or according altitude)". Then I know without looking at my iPad that there is Mode S traffic nearby. 

What do Tim/others think? Possibly a user selectable feature (as already the option to display bearingless targets on/off). 

Kind Regards,
Patrick

The best we could do here is a warning saying "there is traffic at around your altitude, that may or may not be close to you, and we don't know what direction it is". That isn't good enough for us, and that's why we haven't added such warnings. It's very important to us that the warnings we do give are as relevant as possible, so that people don't start tuning them out.
