Alerts: never miss one

A second bot, FlyBuddyAlert, receives important alerts (SOS, unconfirmed landing). You can give it a real alarm sound while FlyBuddy stays muted.

If you are the pilot

After you land, FlyBuddy asks if everything is fine. With /confirm, you choose your delay (5, 7, 15 or 30 minutes, 7 by default): if you don't confirm within it, your followers are alerted. Without an answer, the question is repeated before the delay ends (at 3 then 6 minutes, at 15 minutes with a 30-minute delay, and 3 minutes before the end for 15 and 30 minutes).

Setup

Start the alert bot: FlyBuddyAlert

If you follow pilots

You get one alert per landing if a pilot doesn't confirm within the delay they chose (shown next to their name). Turn these alerts off or back on with the bell, for each pilot.

These alerts are a help, not a guarantee: they depend on XContest Live, network coverage and the pilot enabling /confirm.
