Post by: Admin on September 11, 2016, 03:23:31 pm: (from a user)
I think I have a problem 3 times I have used it with skydeamon and end up with another a/c in the same position as me 0 0 I have to drop 500 ft to clear but no exit track for it just disappeared the last ones reg started gce is there a glitch in the program ?
Can I have done this on the setup ?

If you update to the latest version of SkyDemon and PilotAware (20160820 or later)
This will now be represented as a ring around your A/C

To update is pretty trivial to do, please download the manual from here
