I hadn't ticked bearingless targets (I have now). I have also registered my ICAO 24bit code on OGN.
Thanks for your help, I will give it a go at the weekend.

Technical Support / Motor Glider & Mode S Radar Screen

« on: August 21, 2017, 05:03:13 pm »

I set my device to as a Motor Glider, it shows up on PW/OGN as a helicopter. I reset it to a Glider and it shows up as a Glider - some glitch in the software.
I can see a Mode S aircraft in the listings but NOT on the RADAR Screen or in SkyDemon, I realize that Mode S doesn't give out bearing information but I would
have thought it should give some sort of warning - I was 500' from the Mode S a/c (I was in communication with it and we had arranged the test beforehand).
The same aircraft was also fitted with PowerFlarm and I couldn't see that (I was near a PilotAware / OGN Uplink station - I had just fitted it and was testing), there
were two gliders near by and Skydemon displayed them OK using Flarm.  Any idea's
