The following sample screenshot shows traffic from the IVAO network:
When online traffic is displayed, the aircraft label looks slightly different.
It will now show the callsign, the name of the participant and his
home airport, instead of the radio callsign seen with AI-Traffic.
TCAS-System: FSMap comes with a completely integrated TCAS
( Traffic Collision and Avoidance System), which will warn the user of
close encounters in the air (AI-Traffic only). The TCAS system can be
configured by using the icon and the integrated drop-down menu in
the icon bar, or by using the F10/SHIFT-F10 key combinations. By toggling
the options the systems cycled through modes “Above”, “Normal”,
“Below”, “Unrestricted” or “Off”. With these modes activated, traffic
display will be restricted as followed:
Above: 9000ft above / 2700ft below•
Normal: 2700ft above / 2700ft below•
Below: 2700ft above / 9000ft below•
Unrestricted: No altitude restrictions apply•
Off: No TCAS warnings are generated, all traffic is displayed•
When other traffic closes in below 6nm horizontally and +/- 1200ft, the
aircraft symbol starts flashing. This is called a TCAS warning. Should other
traffic come close below 25 seconds to a potential collision, and below
+/- 700ft in altitude, an audible alert will also be played (TCAS alert). The
warnings will end when the other traffic gets out of the respective ranges.
