Overriding the CA Sound

If for example you have two VFR guys that wanted to do a formation, while the other guy is being tracked and the other is not. Basically it would make the CA alarm cry, but is there any way to override this? I [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ume dropping track on both of them will make the problem go away?

Well normally when flying in formation only the leader should be with transponder "on"...

Yup. I don't know about FSInn but SquawkBox also has a "formation flying" mode.

Correct. The flight leader has his transponder "on" and still alarms the CA from time to time. Not sure why, and if it's supposed to be doing that given the circomestance.

AFAIK, Formation flying mode is to do with server/position updates.

I just got that problem yesterday also. Leader is squawking C, wingman standby -> ES triggers a CA

 

How should ES even know they are on similar altitude? In fact, it should not be able because on standby no ALT-information is submitted

 

I used easy correlation mode, if it makes a difference here.

 

I heart, CAs are getting an upgrade in the new version - maybe correct handling of SQ standby could be implemented?

If I understand it correctly, in Easy correlation mode you are getting all the info regardless of pilot's squawk settings, so its basically the same as if the wingman would be squawking C.
