T-EGKK139 is located inside my former work location within a large organisation at Gatwick airport. The aerial is inside a window that overlooks the airport directly, hence excellent coverage of aircraft on the ground there. As I am retired, I can only access the machine myself remotely through AnyDesk (an alternative to TeamViewer). As with two other identical (former Windows XP, then Windows 7) 32-bit Panasonic CF-18 Toughbooks (running in other locations) this machine is running Linux (Ubuntu 18.04) and uses Dump1090 Mutability to upload to FR24 and Plane Finder within Linux and to PlanePlotter through Wine (virtual windows). I know that this works perfectly to all three flight tracking organisations because of my experience with T-EGKB81 and T-EIKK20.
However, since the T-EGKK139 machine was placed into service in late September, uploading to both PlanePlotter and Plane Finder has been working perfectly. Not so to FR24! I can see that the programme is correctly working and that many aircraft are being tracked by the FR24 software, but the FR24 Link is disconnected and no aircraft are being uploaded.
There follows many screenshoots, as I have tried to troubleshoot the problem. For information, I tried with MLAT selected as both “yes” then “no” to see if this made a difference. It didn’t!
I am assuming that the issue is a conflict with (or within) the organisation’s free staff wifi (possibly a blocking of a UDP port). However, given that I am uploading successfully to PlanePlotter and Plane Finder, I believe that there must be a FR24 “work around” to this problem.
Many thanks,
Ian
