@TimT
Correct - if you are running Traffic Radar ‘full screen’ on a single small device.
In my experience, however, most users only run SD Traffic Radar ‘Full screen’ on a secondary device, so they can still use their primary device for navigation. In this case, you will still get visual alerts for Bearingless targets on your primary screen as long as you have this option selected in SD/Settings/Navigation Options.
You will also still get audio alerts for Bearingless targets if you are running the PilotAware Audio (or even better - both PAW and SD Audio through an audio mixer).
Regards
Peter

Please remember that in traffic radar full screen you do not get warnings for bearing-less targets.

Hi Tim,
Thanks for the clarification. I will pass this on to the users who have been having issues.
Best Regards
Peter

You only get any options regarding traffic once your receiver has actually received some traffic.
Whether you get the option to display a full-screen traffic radar or an embedded traffic radar depends entirely upon the size of screen used. On Android we currently require the screen to be over 2.5 inches wide but that's not a documented value and could change at any time.

Hi Graham,
OK, that sounds logical, though a bit ‘hit or miss’ if you are looking for a phone to use as a full screen traffic display.
Hopefully SD will clarify (if they know the parameters).
Regards
Peter
p.s. nothing new to add from today’s flights.

+xHi again Bob,I just tried running the simulation again on my phone (Galaxy S5 with android 6.0.1 and SkyDemon 3.11.1.19238). After spawning aircraft, the Traffic Radar Screen appears as normal (as I would expect), with the one-tap enlargement option but no ‘Traffic’ option on the drop-down menu from the SkyDemon logo.I then (reluctantly*) updated SkyDemon to the latest android version 3.13.1.18421 to check if this was a SkyDemon version issue. On re-running the simulation, however, the results are exactly the same - still no ‘Traffic’ option on the drop-down menu from the SkyDemon logo.I am about to head off to the airfield so will have another go in flight and let you know how I get on.Best RegardsPeter* The reason for my ‘reluctance’ is that for PilotAware testing purposes I have been trying to keep one each of my android and iOS devices running on a version of SkyDemon which still displays ambiguity circles for Mode-S 3D (MLAT) Aircraft and after a recent iOS system update, the App Store over-ruled my preference settings and updated SD on my second iPad, leaving my phone as the only device which would still display Ambiguity Circles on SkyDemon. Fortunately, with the recent significant improvements in PAW OGN-R this is no longer significant.. Peter, You won’t get both the traffic display options on one device. It’s either-or. Below a certain screen size you get the separate screen, above that you see the resizeable panel at the bottom of the main chart display.

+xHi Bob,Re the other part of your post, I have just run 3x simulations (without the tablet connected to PAW), one on my iPad and the others on my Android Nexus and Galaxy S5 phone. You can run the simulation after creating or opening a route, or if you just start simulation it runs a default flight near SD HQ.As soon as I spawned an aircraft the SD Traffic Radar screen appears. I then created a couple more aircraft and dragged them into conflict with my own. They appear on the Traffic Radar Screen as soon as they get inside its range (about 3 miles), together with SD on-screen visual and audio alerts in all 3 cases.Hope this helpsRegardsPeter Peter/Graham, thanks for the instructions on how to spawn aircraft. I have now tried this in Simulation Mode on both my phone & tablet. On my phone, in normal Simulation Mode, the traffic option from the SD bubble doesn't appear, until I spawn another aircraft. When I do, tapping the traffic option takes me into a full screen radar display. On my tablet, when I spawn an aircraft in Simulation Mode, the small radar screen appears on the bottom RIGHT of the display. Tapping this gives me the option of a one-shot increase in display size. Trevor, you could try this exercise on your devices to see if you get the same results. I'll see if both of my devices react the same way in a live environment if/when I fly tomorrow. BobD

Hi Bob,
To spawn traffic in simulation mode, just press and hold anywhere in the chart to display the ‘What’s Here’ pop up, and it’s an option there. You can spawn as many traffic targets as you like by repeating the process.
By pressing in a target once displayed, you’ll see it on the pop up menu as ‘Aircraft SKDx’. Pressing on that will display some options for modifying its flight characteristics.
