Brainstorming another possible feature for iFly: You've got the zoom set to where altitudes aren't showing on traffic targets. Someone is getting near you and their target color turns red. As iFly stands now, you need to zoom in quickly to get the target's altitude to appear. (Or you need to call up the Traffic RADAR Instrument real quick.) How about if the altitude always popped up for red colored targets. (Or, as I've suggested before, how about the option for auto-pop up of the RADAR when traffic is red? The latter would have the additional benefit of getting your attention when traffic is close. (Although, until baro data (or ownship altitude, taken from the ghost filter) is implemented, I get a lot of (false) red targets from air carriers flying over me at FL370. So this second feature might need to wait.))

Great ideas!

Regarding the auto-showing Altitude for nearby aircraft, we discussed this internally and have agreed to implement this. It's easy to do, and makes a whole lot of sense. We'll aim to get this into 9.7.

Regarding auto-popping the Radar instrument, we should revisit this one for the future.
