Default Experience with Flarm "Stealth" and Competition modes

The ability to read a meaningful climb rate for other gliders is
potentially a very nice feature.


It would be a disastrous feature, causing every glider in the area to
converge on the One Best Thermal. Ironically, people would then be using an
anti-collision technology to reduce their separation from other aircraft and
thereby increase their chance of collisions.
