Losing the radio link

A friend flies near you, and the station tracks the plane. Then the radio link is lost. The station keeps the last position of the plane, and it dims the marker.

  1. Ask the other pilot to be sending MAVLink. Then wait 5 seconds.

    The marker is bright, and it moves with the other plane.

  2. Set the TX15 link to lost. Then wait 10 seconds.

    The marker is dim, and it stays where the other plane was last heard.

The user story: As a pilot with a TX15, I want the map to tell me when it can no longer be right, so that I do not trust old positions.
