General Discussion / Re: Skydemon + PAw, simultaneous audio output
« on: March 12, 2019, 03:03:23 am »
It is my belief that when the new PAW audio is released and output using the Bluetooth capabilities of the Raspberry Pi 3 that all our audio worries will be solved
I haven't used it but I think the Sky Demon intelligent audio sounds like a very good idea and really quite clever at what it does. However, Tim has certainly made it clear that he doesn't like bearingless targets and thinks ground stations should be seen as aircraft. It's his train set, so I suppose he can implement whatever ideas he considers best. I would like to be alerted to bearingless targets, so would prefer the PAW audio (via BT to my headset). If PAW doesn't tell me which runway I'm entering then I'm sure I'll cope. As for the SD airspace audio warnings, well I realise I wouldn't get those but will have to rely on the visual banners instead.
As a very good alternative, EasyVFR 4 looks to be shaping up nicely and it will be interesting to see how it performs when it hits the streets. Audio traffic warnings (including bearingless) plus airspace warnings, all over BT.......certainly an option I'll be considering very carefully......and PAW ground stations = ground stations
