In PP had a look at the switch settings in Options/Mode S receiver/Beast. Recommended settings are 3,5,8,9,10. Do I stick with that or change them to what?

I can't recall what I adjusted them to. But theyre now 'fixed' with the settings rather than auto mode (SW changable)

What I did find was the dip switches in PP auto config made it go silly. Fixing them to forced settings sorted.

Mine did. And $60 bill later he couldn't find anything wrong with it. What I did find was the dip switches in PP auto config made it go silly. Fixing them to forced settings sorted.

Thanks for that Oblivian. So the problem can be fixed in PP? I will have a looksee and get back to you if I my bafflement with tiny electronics continues.

Beast problems

My Beast receiver has almost died; the rate of reports I see in my Flightaware stats is half what it used to be last year, so I gather a new Beast is indicated. It appears they do have a tendency to 'fade away' after a couple of years, just like old soldiers. I still get the aircraft, but at a much more limited range. Has anyone else notice a report rate dropoff in their Beast receiver.

Soooo...

Saw it earlier. That explains why it's been quiet. Just a new engine, nothing major! Maybe the lost the last one into a black hole while star gazing.

My experiment with various computers, sorry. Gw looks like a goer. Ci was on a laptop. Well there is one At76 my system is still not registering. Thanks for the update Westone. Your GQ seems to be working very well as you are out performing my setup Grrrrrrrr. Must have good antenna's.

If you can give the Hex. Regn,. I could check our FR24 Database,. To see if we have them in there..

And when they aint in there,.. I could enter them ..

Infact in planeplotter, go todays - alerts. it will list the new ones it doesnt know.

The HEX will help...

The planeplotter database is only as good as the international one server side being updated, or you updating locally. I don't have the save remote aircraft/route option on as they are alwasy screwed up by someone on the other side of the planet. So I have a dbeditor and manually add them.

Petenz. I see that there are a couple of new sharers on Plane plotter map Gw & Ci closer to Geraldine. Are you experimenting or is it someone new??

PP is not picking up the latest AT76's reg; It picked up MVO,MVH,MVI,MVL, and MVK, but there is one more ,perhaps MVM?? I haver lost count of the new Airbus as I have been offline for a while.

MVK, MVL were delivered in May, MVM is still to come. An d for the A320's OXL was the last one delivered

There goes that theory. Might be non NASA (DLA) missions between now and the 18th that don't get listed?

They listed 1, 2 but then it jumps to 7 in their mission list. Maybe it's secret space stuff! FA still unaware of route, hopefully it'll appear soon. But it does show it zig zagging to west now.
