Why can't I see distant traffic in ForeFlight?

ForeFlight only displays traffic in a 3,500' bubble around your aircraft. From their Mobile Pilot Guide:

"The Hide Distant Traffic setting, shown when your iPad or iPhone is connected to an ADS-B receiver, is accessed via the “Gear” button on the Maps page or on the More page under Devices > ADS-B receiver > Status.When switched ON, this setting hides traffic that is more than 15NM away from your current GPS location and/or more than 3,500’ above or below your current altitude. This allows you to hide distant traffic targets and may be useful if you are flying in busy airspace or near large airports with lots of commercial traffic."


You can verify the traffic your Stratux is seeing by going to the traffic tab on 192.168.10.1 in a web browser on a device connected to the stratux WiFi network.
