    Traffic is drawn on synthetic vision showing the number of nautical miles to the target from 1 to 9 and blank after.

    Target 1 is 1 NM away and currently +2 hundred feet above my current altitude, climbing, and the next two minutes is projected to follow the orange line.
    Target 2 is 9 NM away, also +2 hundred feet above my current altitude, and in two minutes should be following the river.

    Shawn,

    Is the first illustration unique to the 5000 series? On my 4500, I see circles that get larger the closer they are, but no mileage indicators.

    thanks,

    bob

    This may have been asked before but how do you get the N numbers of the target to be displayed?

    The other aircraft has to have ADSB out.

    Yes for sure but my Stratus shows the same target with an N number while the Navworx unit does not show it on my 5600. I don't know if it's a Navworx setting or an AFS setting.

    I have 4500s, but I don't recall there being a N# setting on either side.

    You can always turn on debug mode on that serial port and take a look at the data the navworx unit is sending the efis. It will store the output file on your sd card. I think it's stored in ascii text, but my memory may be incorrect. I'm sure that Rob/Ken/Shawn will correct me if I'm wrong.

    I did get a response from Ken at AFS. Turns out it's a little bit of both:

    "The ADS600 should provide tail numbers for most but not all aircraft on the AF-5600. You will want to make sure the ADS600 is set to 115200 baud and the corresponding serial port function in the AF-5600 is set to 'ADSB 115K'. Also you will need to enter your own tail number and mode S code in the Transponder section of calibration. If you are not using the AF-XPNDR-261 you will want to set the Enable/Disable field to DISABLED."

    Oh and a new system software came out last week in case anyone missed it.

    And this update does definitely improve the ADSB target strength. Before the update I would lose traffic descending into a local mountain airport, KPAN, now I see traffic all the way in to KPAN, even during their roll out. :-) Larry
    I have the AFS/Dynon 978 in traffic system. Thanks AFS
