Hi all,
My first outing with the new rosetta module and software update yesterday - and I didn't feel as confident in its use so thought i'd ask what peoples experiences have been and also what could be making such a difference?
For background, the unit is mounted in exactly the same place and the settings are exactly the same with the addition of the 3D element.
What I found was traffic was extremely intermittent, compared to my old unit which showed items rock solid. I've reviewed the track on aircrew.co.uk and you can see the traffic being very intermittent.
For example one aircraft which shows as Mode A/S/C and PAW equipped under 3 miles kept dropping off, yet on FR24 shows solid visibility against my track. This made me very concerned because it drew my attention to the appearance and alerts then disappearing.
Equally on the return leg I had another aircraft under 2nm appear and disappear. This one on aircrew.co.uk shows Mode A/S/C and ADSB.
I have the tracks and i'm happy to send them or anything else you guys need, but I think in the short term i'm going to use my old unit and old software version.
At no point did the connection to the iPad drop, and this is powered from a USB socket.
Do you have any thoughts on what this could be?
I hope you don't take this as an attack, I just felt confident with my old unit, but this just seemed so intermittent that I'd rather not use it at the moment.
