General Discussion / It did it again !!
« on: May 07, 2016, 06:44:42 pm »
Some weeks (months) ago I was testing a previous version and found that the display on, RunwayHD, of Mode S E.S equipped aircraft (mostly airliners) seemed to overload the App and all of the altitude boxes started flashing and the screen effectively locked out any user input and the aircraft depicting our own position stayed in the same place.
I reported it on the forum and was advised to tell the RunwayHD chaps of this as it sounded like a problem with their App. I did this and never heard any more from them and I didn't see this happen with a new version of PAW software so thought it had gone away.
Now my installation still has the 1090 aerial within the aircraft and we keep it tucked into the passenger footwell pocket , really just to reduce the number of aircraft returns that are of no interest i.e they are 10's of miles awayand we do this by attenuating the received signals on 1090 with the aerial in the footwell.
However when we bring the aerial up onto the panel and (courtesy of a blob of bluetac) stick it on the panel top, the App, again seems to get so much NMEA data streaming in it goes into this condition where the altitudes flash and the screen wont accept any input.
Does the PAW team have any technical contacts to point this flaw out to them (if it is RunwayHD's problem) becuae if it is, they dont seem to take any notice when I reported it.

PS how does one enable the audio output and display of non ES transponder returns ?
