Hi!

I recently bought a device called "air connect" to send collision warning information from my PowerFlarm device to Skydemon. Using a Y-Cable I still have the butterfly display connected to the PowerFlarm device so that I can compare the visualization in Skydemon with what PowerFlarm displays on its butterfly display.

The question is:
I sometimes see other traffic in Skydemon, shown as green airplanes, which are either Flarm or ADS-B sources and that's fine. But because for Mode-S XPDR PowerFlarm cannot have a precise location of the source, the butterfly display shows a circle around my airplane.

I have not seen these circles in Skydemon yet while these circles were shown on the butterfly display. I have the impression that Skydemon is not showing these. Is there anything I need to set up?

Thanks in advance!

"SkyDemon displays a distinctive warning when PowerFlarm tells us that a collision is imminent. The warning has a black background. It generates the same sound as for an obstruction or terrain warning"

Oh, that's very interesting, for those of us who do not have blue tooth headsets but do have an audio in plug on our headset,does that mean we can run an audio cable from ipad to headset and bypass the flarm audio out licence malarkey? 

Having spent the best part of 2 grand on a Collision warning device to be told I have to pay more money and mess around with downloads just to get the warning is very annoying to say the least. What good is a warning device which does not warn! 

I have PF fitted and 'talking' to SD and have also configured my FUNKWERKE Mode S TXPDR to output ADSB by wiring in an external GPS receiver. I have checked that it works by getting my friend to open up Flight Radar 24 App on his iPad when I am flying nearby and there I am!!  Brilliant! 

I can confirm that PF linked to my iPad running SD is very stable and reliable IF the other aircraft are transmitting Flarm/ADSB.  It is brilliant at picking up gliders and displaying their height relative to you and when I asked for an overhead transit at Luton the other day, it picked up and displayed the two airliners that were coming in on final (range about two and four miles) and one waiting at the runway hold.  I have to agree that having to pay extra for the audio-out feature of PF was a bit of a tight-fisted oversight of the developers as the audio warning is very important.  A bit like buying an aeroplane and someone telling you the engine is an optional extra!

Question for Tim: you say that there is a warning display on SD when a collision algorithm is imminent and is displayed as a box with yellow writing on a black background i.e. "TRAFFIC 8 O'CLOCK" together with an audio warning BUT the warning box is only visible for just a second.  Blink and you miss it!  Is there any way you can put in a small delay to the warning box display to make it stay on the screen for 3 or 4 seconds?
