Thanks for posting your config files guys, (mine is below)



I downloaded my config file from powerflarm us website, it appears I am missing a large amount of the info that you guys have for pcas and adsb ranges.



Where did you download your config files from?



Thanks, Joe

You can "roll your own" config file (if you are competent) by using the FLARM tool located at:
http://www.butterfly-avionics.com/in...core-config-en

I didn't use this tool because I just used MS Notbook to edit the txt file myself using the FLARM documentation. If you do it this way be sure to refer to the current documentation at:

http://powerflarm.us/manuals-softwar...release-notes/

Especially important is the "PowerFLARM dataport addendum" at the bottom of the page too
