One more wish list for the PCAS display but may require an upgrade from the Powerflarm as I don't know if it sends the Transponder code.

Would be nice on the PCAS Target it showed distance (as already requested) but would also be nice if it showed the the Transponder code. would be nice to know if the transponder is transmitting 1200, 1202, or an ATC assigned code.

One more suggestion if I may:
It appears that the butterfly displays instantaneous rate of climb (as it fluctuates considerably). It will be much more useful if it would display average rate of climb. When glimpsing momentarily at the display to decide if/which thermal to join, it is hard to determine based on momentarily rate of climb.

RAMY: We already do significant filtering of the displayed climb rate-values. This filter needs to get some data to produce exact results, this is why at the beginning it fluctuates but ofter some seconds it gives you a very accurate value.
