Pro Mode/Stby label filter

Max Kuhla (1157125)

Hello,

After testing out pro mode in GRP we are having some issues getting the behaviour that we want/expect.

Having pro mode active, and stby ground label filter activated, we need to deactivate the ES option "Assume aircraft on the ground as STBY" for Euroscope to actually react to different transponder modes.

That makes the aircraft visible on the air radar ASR when squawking mode C, despite being on the ground.

Is there any way to remedy this or is it simply not workable because of ES limitations?
Does/did the Finish package have pro mode active, how did it solve this problem?

Currently the filtering code uses the lack of an SSR reply from a track as an indicator of "transponder standby". There are functions in the API to query for the transponder mode directly, and I can change the code to use those instead, but it's possible the "assume on ground as standby" setting overrides those as well. If that's the case, your only option - as it is now - is not to use that setting.
