Obstacle madness O.o

I really like using my stratux.
I think everyone feels better when they know where other planes are in the air.
I like to meet other pilots, but please not unexpectedly from the left or right when I fly.... Smile
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

These obstacle warnings will become much more prominent in the next future and yes, they are a problem for our anti-collision systems flying VFR. Wind mills are increasingly using anti-collision 1090/1030MHz and 868MHz(FLARM) transmitter to announce their position electronically - for aircraft and especially in preparation to the large drone cloud expected. There already is an initiative of authorities and private companies to further look into it. For a current German discussion see i.e. Pilotundflugzeug magazine 2021-05 page 26ff and check https://www.lanthan-safe-sky.com for the technology coming.
