Hi, I would like to learn what the current (latest) software version is for the Aerotracker. I have 1.0.6, however in the documentation I can see higher version numbers. Thanks! ---

Hello, I believe that version 1.0.6 is the latest “public” version available. Testing is currently underway on a new version, but I am not sure when it will be released. ---

I got the info that they are working on a version that will display relative altitude and distance (no bearing) of Mode-S traffic that should be released soon. Definitely interesting! ---

Yes, the software/firmware is being tested now. Distance to the conflicting aircraft will always be estimated, and is based on received signal strength. ---

> I made some flights with the new software version and indeed Mode-S traffic is displayed as a circle with a relative height indication. This seems to work well. My only feedback is that 10NM (I could verify the actual position on Safesky ipad split screen) seems too much for a warning. I would suggest to reduce that to 5 NM. Now there are quite a few aircraft displayed that can never be a factor and it triggers unnecessary tension. ---

I am testing the Aero Tracker with SkyDemon. I have noticed many more Mode S only aircraft (in my vicinity, while flying) than expected. Post flight checks showed that they were MLAT detected on ADS-B Exchange, so should have been displayed as MLAT and not Mode S only. The SafeSky team is aware so, hopefully, a fix will be out soon. 10 NM range alerts do seem a bit excessive.. ---

The latest firmware version is indeed automaticly updating your Aero-tracker to trigger alerts for Mode-S (bearingless) targets. More details here: [2 - What traffic will ... | SafeSky Library](https://docs.safesky.app/link/122#bkmrk-%F0%9F%93%A1-mode-s-traffic-rec) ---

It’s a very good feedback: open question to participants: shall we either decide of a low 5NM value for beardless targets to avoid too many alerts, or should this be a configurable option? ---

Hi Tristan, indeed 5NM seems more than enough. Anything beyond 2NM is usually not visible anyway, unless it is a B747. A larger distance produces a lot of circles on the map.
