OZFLARMS (and probably the original ones) will overlay position
reports on XC Soar (including Altair), SeeYou, and WinPilot.
The range is about 3 kilometers, so don't get too far from your
competitor or team mate if you really want to LEACH (bold, underline,
italics).
Have heard of a proposed "Competition Mode" which will de-sensitize
the distant positions... But fail to see the point of mandating FLARM
in competitions, where the chance of collision is pretty high, then
partially shutting it off.
