  • When the last traffic update has been received less than 5 seconds ago the InfoField will be coloured green. If the last traffic update is received between 5 and 10 seconds ago, the InfoField is coloured amber. If the last traffic update is received more then 10 seconds ago the InfoField is coloured red.

  • The numerical value in the InfoField represents the number of targets EasyVFR4 has received data for. Note this is the unfiltered count; depending on your set filters (menu->system->Electronic Conspicuity Settings) much less aircraft can actually be shown on the map.
