ADS-B towers

I just noticed that ADS-B towers are now shown on the map. How can I make them not flash?

Re: ADS-B towers

Because they are so small, we added a subtle flash so they can be found. There is no way to disable the flash. Is it bothering you?

Re: ADS-B towers

To me, flashing is to draw attention to something important. Knowing where the ADS-B towers are might be interesting, but not really all that important. Flashing the unimportant things numbs us to all flashing things, including the important ones. My opinion, of course. I just like things simple and uncluttered

Re: ADS-B towers

Is there a reason we would want to know where the towers are, other than idle curiosity?
