Coupled with the ‘Time ahead’ trajectory display, it’s perfectly visible without obscuring essential detail.

Thank you for your answer grahamb. In simulation I was traying 10 or 12mm, for the routes I use to fly. I think 18 it's ok only for long legs and open zoom, but too big for legs about 10 or 15 nm.

[/cita] Considering for combined use with skyecho and visible traffic, what do you consider to be the ideal size of the airplane icon?
