Unfortunately the Butterfly is not a bright as V7 and Ultimate Le so the camera does not show the definition and color as good. But the butterfly is readable.

Nice demo.

Note to self to reread the manual to understand what the relative altitude bars on the warning display correspond to in feet.

It looks like the Ultimate was showing +0ft, the audio was saying "below", the Butterfly was indicating same altitude and the V7 was indicating above. I'm guessing if it's close to the same altitude you might get not entirely consistent indications though I always thought the Flarm sent out the collision warnings - I wonder how much is left up to each display device to do?

Andy,

This video was just to show what the displays looks and sounds like.

I don't think the altitudes are correct as the altimeter in the simulator log file and the ones set on the Ultimate Le and V7 are not in sync with the log file.

I have approx 500 hours flying with the PowerFlarm - V7(Butterfly Display) - Ulitmate Le and the altitudes and warnings I get are accurate. Sometime the lady carries on for another sentence after the glider has passed.

Thanks Richard - I too have had very good experiences with Flarm accuracy.

The various displays just made me think I don't really have a great understanding of exactly what the symbols mean specifically and it could prove to be important one day.
