It appears the Playback program is having problems again.
After chosing a file, and uploading it, it sticks at 100%, and doesn't run the track replay.

I'm just bumping this in the hope that the Playback option will be repaired soon.

Hi Steve, I had tried that site (and just tried again), but i couldn't get it to work with a PAW .trk file, it returns "No valid GPS Data detected", whichever output option is chosen.

Sadly https://playback.pilotaware.com/playback/ is still not getting past the upload phase, to display the track, on any of my devices......

Thanks SGS66, but the problem with that approach is that Flysto only displays traffic transmitting ADSB. the PAW Track files include much more traffic information. What would be nice is for someone with better PERL skills than I possess to expand on the excellent work Richard Hines has started here

http://forum.pilotaware.com/index.php/topic,1574.msg17338.html#msg17338

and create a KML file with all the traffic captured by PAW, so it can be imported into Goggle Earth or Flysto to give a fuller picture.

Hi Peter,

I think I may have found the cause. It appears that Malwarebytes that I use on my PCs is the problem.  If I enter the IP address in the MB exceptions (not the URL as first requested), then Playback runs OK. I can't say that there is no problem with the site, but I have found MB to be over protective with other sites ( I.e. the Matronics Forum).

This started as I wanted to compare Playback to Flysto.net Early indications are that Playback appears to shows more traffic, as flysto only appears to show ADSB traffic. So far, I have been using the kml files from Skydemon, but I would like to use the PAW trk files.

It's been interesting trying to find a way to convert the PAW trk files into kml, as required by flysto. I'm trying to use the technique suggested by Richard Hine in this thread

http://forum.pilotaware.com/index.php/topic,1574.msg17338.html#msg17338

but as I'm not familiar with Perl, I'm finding it challenging  at the moment

Cheers BobD

Hi Again Bob,

Playback sites are both back up again now!

Hi Peter,

I may have "liked" too soon ! This is wierd, the link works on my Android Tablet and Phone, but not on Chrome on my Windows 10 PC. I have tried clearing the cache to no avail, and also tried Microsoft Edge and Avast Browser with the same result. The full error messageon all three browsers is:

This site can’t provide a secure connection
playback.pilotaware.com sent an invalid response.
Try running Windows Network Diagnostics.
ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR

Cheers

The response from this link is:

This site can’t provide a secure connection
playback.pilotaware.com sent an invalid response.

Is there a problem with the site ? Shame, as it is a useful tool.

I ipdated the software to the latest version (20230316) and had three separate flights yesterday. No problems,  so it looks like the update has done the trick. Thanks Peter.

Hi Peter,
Thanks for the response. I was under the mistaken impression that my software was up yo date, but following your suggestion,  I've just downloaded the latest version.  I'll be flying tomorrow or Friday, so I'll report back after that.
Cheers

After a  medical grounding for 6 months, I started flying again this week, and have the same issue that RussP had reported, intermittent  Traffic Fail messages on my Skyview. Annoying, nagging warning mesages (both audio and visual) are produced. Primary display of contacts on SkyDemon is not affected.  I am using  version 20220805.

Was a solution to the problem found ?

« on: November 12, 2022, 11:02:15 am »

Like you, I suspect only the Rx and ground connection is used, but I don't see any  downside in connecting  both the Tx and Rx wires, as  if ever the PAW becomes capable  of using one USB for both Rx/Tx, you can " save" a USB port for another use.

I considered going firbthe Dyjon GPS input after RussP explained the procedure  in the 6th post down of this thread

http://forum.pilotaware.com/index.php/topic,1765.msg23431.html#msg23431

but in the end continued to use the PAW mouse for GPS, as having both the PAW GPS and the Dynon GPS into separate devices gave me a level of redundancy  I was happier with.

General Discussion / Re: SOLVED - Connecting Pilot Aware to SkyView

« on: November 01, 2022, 08:23:00 am »

Is possible to set the serial port to output as well so that it sends GPS data from the Dynon Skyview to the PAW?

That way one wouldn't need to install a second GPS.

(The Garmin GTR225 connects to the Skyview and gets GPS data (in NMEA format) from it so it could be possible).

See the 6th post down from Russp in this thread, I think it explains what you are looking for.

I plan on fixed installation of PAW with serial connection to Dynon SkyView. Thus displaying all traffic on the SkyView map. So theoretically do not need my iPhone, or do I?


Would that also display the wx on the Dynon or do I still need an iPhone/iPad running SkyDemon for that?

Displayed traffic on Skyview is by symbols, and not as informative as the traffic displayed from PAW on say Skydemon.

To get weather, you need Skydemon, so I would say yes, you still need your iPhone or Android device.

Regarding the cabling and setup of the connection between  PAW and Skyview, CarlP was the pioneer  of this, and his and subsequent posts can be found here.

Technical Support / Re: Combo PAW, Skydemon & Dynon Skyview installation

« on: September 05, 2022, 08:55:25 am »

As far as I know, apart from Wi-Fi updates, the other wish list items are still outstanding (I.e. PAW still only communicates one way on the USB  connections). If you decide to go ahead, you could use one USB for traffic in to Skyviiew, and the other for GPS feed from Skyview to PAW. I upgraded from the Classic to Rosetta earlier this year, and following the new way of updating PAW, I could have chosen to use the second USB for the Skyview GPS feed, but chose to remain with separate Skyview and PAW GPS feeds for redundancy.

Happy to be corrected if I have any misconceptions  here.

Lee, any chance of two way comms on the PAW USB happening ?  ( Sorry I missed you at the LAA Fly-In this weekend,  I only went on Friday, but had a chat to Ashley)
