Hi Grahame

That may explain my large drop off in numbers as well. I will have to download the new version as well.

Now, on another topic, how is the "SBS Project" coming along? Would be nice to try to do some MLATs again if we can get you feeding from the SBS.

Cheers
Mark

Hi Mark,

The "SBS Project" slipped off the radar (no pun intended) over the Chrishmas break, but I did think about it last week, and have it on my task list. I will let you know how I go.

Hi Grahame

Sounds good. Please do let me know as I will contact PP to ensure that Master User status is still correctly setup. We had some good MLATs about 18 months ago but then dropped of as I think some sharers stopped sharing. It is great in the UK and I think better in in Melbourne. It might allow us to see a lot more GA.

On another note the latest version of PP seems to be more stable for me.

Cheers
Mark

I installed the latest version of PlanePlotter last night (V6.4.1.4), and noticed that they have changed the setup in "Sharing".

There are now standard Sharing tick boxes for FlightRadar24, FlightAware etc, with an option for one Custom sharing feed. A little more flexible than before.

I had really bad problems with my TPG internet connection for about 10 months. Meanwhile I'm out of that contract and have a Telstra cable DSL connection now which runs fast (35MBit/sec) and extremely stable.
During the 10 months I wasn't really able to share my data as my connection dropped out every few minutes. But now I am sharing 24/7 again from my SBS-3. So maybe that will slightly improve the MLATs already.

I finally got my ADS-B receiver mounted on the roof. It's a PoE powered Raspberry Pi with a USB DVB-T stick mounted in a weather-proof box mounted just under the roof, with a 1090mhz.com antenna mounted a couple of metres above the roof. Location is near Long Bay beach, Auckland. I've got hills basically all aroudn me, but I'm still surprised at the coverage I'm seeing.

I'm feeding to both FR24 and Flightaware.

Hey Matt,
I have just approved your request to join the YSSYforum team on flightaware. Welcome :-)

We should move into #3 in a day or two. But we'll soon be overtaken.

Good evening all

I have my PP working again at apparently full capacity so I am hoping we will see some MLATs again. I will ask John at PP if he can turn on Auto MLAT again for the Sydney area, so would appreciate if Henning, Kurt, Noel and hopefully Grahame (and anyone else) can share their raw data this weekend to see if we can see a few MLATs.

BTW, Henning what is your approx location?

Cheers

Hi,

I am feeding 24/7. So I will also be feeding this weekend.
My approx. location is Coogee.
