As the PilotAware project has resurfaced and lots of units are in circulation now, would it be possible to address at some point the way Mode S returns are portrayed on SkyDemon by way of a suggestion rather than bearingless targets appear as a cluttered mess over my aircraft, a table in one of the corners with all direct traffic appearing in a series of colours according to signal level received. Rather like the way EasyVFR do it.......I don't like their software but I do like the way traffic is represented.
Thanks

Thanks all. I've done the easy bit which is to make the font size and colours consistent between bearingless and "normal" targets. Inclusion of the ID is slightly trickier though and I don't want to change that code without being able to test it. As far as I recall, PowerFlarm never sends ID with bearingless targets so that codepath will not have been tested.

Perhaps Lee you could provide some example sentences with bearingless Mode S going on? I recall that PowerFlarm never sends information on more than one bearingless target at the same time, does that still hold true for PilotAware?

Hi Tim,
Regarding the bearingless target:
Messages are sent to the Navigation device every second, this will include the GPS sentences, the ADS-B/P3I sentances and a single Bearlingless target which is determined to be the highest threat.

However, bear in mind that this could change in the next iteration, one second later.
example sentences below grep'ed from a logfile, not necessarily chronological
filters wide open to 50,000ft in order to capture some data.
Thx
Lee
