Re: ADS-b traffic alerts

Shane, I just purchased the SkyRadar D2 and tried it today. Weather worked perfect but I did not get any traffic. I am based at GIF, just southwest of MCO which has tons of traffic. So, this is an FYI for you guys that are testing the traffic reporting problem.

Thanks, Ron

SOM, we support local Nexrad, METARS, TAFS, Winds & Temps, and Pireps. Traffic is supported on most ADSB devices but not yet on all the SkyRadar units - we just discovered they are pumping traffic data a little differently than they didi with their original units, so we have some work to do on that. We'll also be adding support for additional text based ADSB messages.

Thanks,
Walter

Any idea where fixing the Skyradar-L TIS-B traffic protocol for the iFly-700 compares to other fixes and features being introduced?

Thanks,

S. Morgan

Re: ADS-b traffic alerts

This is marked as high priority and is tagged for inclusion in our next feature release. It's not critical so we won't be pushing out a mid-cycle patch for this change. We don't have a date yet for the next release, but should be before summer.

Thanks!
Walter
