Default New Butterfly Display Software 3.2.1 released

A question for PowerFLARM - I'm using a PowerFLARM brick (firmware 3.31) with a Butterfly 57 mm display (firmware 3.2.1). My alerts are 99% PCAS types. While I get altitude difference and range, I do not see any climbing or descending arrows on the alert screen.

John,

thanks for the suggestion. I'll put it on our TODO list, but at the moment
we have more important issues.

Gerhard, please look at the way the ZAON MRX displays PCAS targets (which I believe conforms with the standards for displaying traffic - Andy chime in?):

Distance (approximate), altitude difference (with leading + or -), and trend arrow up or down indicating whether the target is climbing or descending. Without a bearing to the threat, altitude and what it's doing becomes the most important data needed to find and avoid the threat, and all this data is available - it just needs to be displayed IN BIG DIGITS/SYMBOLS so us old guys can see it better!

I use a PF core in my glider and my MRX in club towplanes/gliders. I consider both to be essential bits of kit these days.
