I'm looking forward to the new traffic voice alerts on the next release. As a Pilot Aware user, this will presumably mean disabling PAW's own voice alerts in favour of what appears to be SD's 'smarter' version.
However, does anyone know what will happen with audio alerts of bearingless traffic? Will SD have them too? PAW's version is quite effective, giving three increasingly 'threatening' categories of alert and - crucially, given that there is no horizontal distance and direction information - calling out vertical distance/separation if less than 1000 feet, above or below. So when you hear that another a/c is 200 feet above, that can be a useful prompt to descend, even if you're not sure exactly where that other aircraft is.
On the new SD voice alerts, what - if anything - will you hear if bearingless gets close?
