I voted but would like to see something like this.
Tap on an aircraft not on your frequency without sending him a message and the tag toggles on. Tap it again and it turns off. I find it’s a pain to have to keep tapping on someone that’s approaching your airport at FL200 to see if he’s descended into your airspace. This handles that case, and also handles your case! Tap on someone you’ve given freq change to, and his tag turns off. Tap it again and it turns on.
The difficulty I see with always turning it off on frequency change is with tower when you give freq change, but he stays at Pattern altitude. He could be coming back in, but with the tag off, you’ll miss the fact that he’s not climbing.
I would prefere a small data tag just with the hight. If the airplan isn’t on my frequency or I swiped it out just the hight (maybe also the the speed?) is important. Just the hight without a line direct next to the aircraft
Why is it useless? I know that I can click on it and see all details, but if i click on another it removes.
So when I controll approach and have departure traffic crossing my inbound I have to check their height by clicking on it. Sometimes again and again. Also if someone is inbound and over 18,000 ft I have to check the aircraft again and again with clicking till it is in my airspace and I can onguard if necessary.
In my opinion it is usefull to see the hight of aircraft which are not on my frequency all the time, that I don’t have to click always on it.
We could just reduce it on the most important information. When it is not on my freq the callsign is useless because I can’t communicate, same for aircraft type due to the fact we‘re having different symbols.
Even on Tower, This gets quite frustrating swiping them off when they are departing, and their info gets in the way of incoming/pattern flights, you have my vote!
Essentially the same thing, which is good. I don’t know which one I’d prefer, possibly @GHamsz solution would prove more beneficial on approach due to the fact that we rarely use the flight strips. I’ll probably edit my request soon to more match that idea.
