Hex ID filtering

[peteD]

Been playing with my newly arrived "kit" today!

Presume the Hex-ID on the config page is to filter out your own aircraft.

However at my airfield I found several unknown Hex codes on the traffic page and displaying on my SkyDemon aircraft symbol.

Looking at the traffic page I believe they are ground vehicles as I recall that they are equipped with transponders.(reverse hex code lookups showed "unknown").

So is there any way of filtering out these known hex codes, i.e. I like to be able to enter more than one code into Hex-ID?

Otherwise seems very good!
Thanks
Pete

Hi Pete,

as you have quite correctly worked out, the HEX-ID field is for your own transponder ICAO, this simply stops PilotAware using either your Mode-S or Mode-S/ES(ADSB) from your own transponder.

Unfortunately there is no way to filter other objects, other than relative height difference in your Nav tool settings.
So the ground items could be filtered once in the air at a relative height greater than your filter.

Interestingly, I recall that ground vehicles have a setting in the DF strings which indicate it is a ground setting, so there is the potential to filter out ALL ground vehicles, could I ask you to add this onto the enhancement requests ?
