My setup is Swiss Flarm connected to a Soartronic BT module, which then sends data to my Nokia 8. For Device A I use Generic (because the Nokia 8 is not mentioned) and BT:Soartronic.I also use Generic for Device model.
I always assumed from years ago that a Flarm data feed took priority, but Device B Internal seems to take over until I do a Com Port reset. The Flarm data is then used.
This seems to be a fairly recent problem, should I use Flarm instead of Generic?

the real question is why flarm is lost ?
davesalmon Posted - 21/08/2020 : 09:22:59
OK that could be the reason, because Flarm does take far longer to start up than LK, and internal gps does find location quite quickly.. However it wasn't happening when I first used this setup, only started doing it recently.
Surely in flight, if Device A (Flarm) is lost, and LK falls back to Device B (Internal), when Flarm is found again, even though Internal has valid fix, LK automatically falls back to Device A again due to Flarm priority. This doesn't seem to be any different to initial startup with Device B.

if you start LK before Bt module, it can't connect to flarm, still device B have valid fix, it don't restart comme port automaticaly...

it like that from always...

I flew today, yet again I had to reset the com ports in flight before LK started to use Flarm data via the Soartronic BT module.

That priority has always been my understanding Ulli, yet for some reason it didn't happen. Once I did the ComPort reset it was fine. I'll see what happens next time, though when that will be with the terrible flying weather we are getting I don't know.

Dave,
the priority is Device A: over B: over C: ...
Generic or FLARM driver have no difference except that the FLARM driver has a "download IGC File" function.
