I like to meet other pilots, but please not unexpectedly from the left or right when I fly.... I would like to be able to separate the obstacle warnings and the aircraft warnings better in the settings. Or turn off the obstacle warnings. I am shown millions of windmills that I get over several minutes in a row when I fly over the Eggegebirge. But I would also like to know well in advance if somewhere on my flight path are other aircraft. Just for safety. I can now only set obstacles and aircraft the same distance. Greetings Markus 1.000.000 warning signals in this area over several minutes Edited 8/13/2021 6:45:40 AM by Markus117

I appreciate that you're receiving lots of warnings about obstacles but it sounds like that's because you're flying quite close to lots of obstacles. Hi Tim, when i flying to Paderborn, I have to fly below 2500ft because of airspace Charlie. Maybe I am doing something wrong as well. I'll try to explain again. ---Warn about Obstructions:--- Warning Time: 3min Vertical Clearance: 1000ft Abeam clearance: 3,0 nm. Unfortunately, these settings are valid for all obstructions. When I fly my Stratux and am warned about traffic. Does it do so with the same clearances. Is it possible to have different settings for traffic warnings and obstacle warnings?

You can switch off Skydemon’s obstacle warnings, based on its knowledge of their position, with a simple toggle. If, however all of these obstacles have an ADS-B beacon on the top of them, and your Stratux is detecting them, then SD will see them as traffic. Is that your issue?

Hi grahamb, in any case, i want to be warned. This is always essential for me because I am a very forward-looking pilot and do not want to endanger myself or others. But i want obstacles like windmills and traffic warnings to not have the same settings. For example: --Warn about Obstructions (Windmills):--- Warning Time: 1min Vertical Clearance: 500ft Abeam clearance: 1,0 nm. --Warn about traffic:--- Warning Time: 2min Vertical Clearance: 2000ft Abeam clearance: 5,0 nm. I hope you understand what I mean. greetings Markus
