Scout is a ADS-B in receiver so I don't believe it transmits. SO no they will not display targets from Scout.. They will show the same targets that Scout receives. Richard Scout puts out its data on WiFi only, plus it's rigged to work with Foreflight only, so it doesn't seem to be an option. An ADS-B receiver in PF should work fine. -Dave |

Does anyone have an opinion on which would perform better? Thanks for all the responses thus far. I have ATD-57. It has hardware and display that is head and shoulders above anything by LX, huge contrast and brightness with anti-glare coated display. It works perfectly and customer support is excellent as always. |

It works perfectly and customer support is excellent as always. One complaint with the LXNAV TrafficView57 in the above thread is that some of the text is too small to read (that's easy to believe as I have that exact issue with the LXNAV S8 Flarm page. Does the ATD-57 have the same issue? Does anyone want to chime in about the top choices for a Flarm dispaly in a 57mm panel space? I'm replacing a Butterfly display that's failing. Thanks, Eric |

Flarmview versus Flarmview 57

I'm interested in purchasing a Flarmcore soon and I'm curious which of the displays would work best. I have a spare 57mm hole in the panel now, so the Flarmview 57 seems to be the simplest installation. I'm curious if having the extra buttons on the original Flarmview make this device easier to use in flight. Thoughts? Michael "8U" My glider has the Flarmview 57 and most of the club gliders have the rectangular Flarmview. When I installed Flarm (before the club ships got it) I chose the 57 simply because I had a 57mm hole free (and a nice carbon fiber panel that I didn't want to hack up) I thought I would be giving up some ease of use because the 57 just has a single twist-push control. To my surprise, when I used the four button display I found it to be less intuitive and more fussy to work with. So I find the Flarmview 57 easier to work with. The display size is the same. My half century old eyes have had no problem reading it so far. Your experience may differ of course. |

Thanks, Eric After researching the options, I eventually installed an ATD-57. I've been quite happy with the display and it's quite clear and bright. I like the 4 push buttons at the top of the display for easy use. It also has an enhanced feature to display thermaling gliders with a circular arrow on the screen - nice when you're on course and looking for the next good thermal. |

IMHO Traffic View in a 57 hole might be acceptable if it were placed directly below the glare shield. I can't put mine there and with the small font, and no shade, I feel the 57mm Traffic View is a poor choice for display of traffic. If they were to come out with a modification that let the user adjust the font, maybe, maybe it would be okay. |
