Technical Support / Unable to connect tablet or phone to Pilotaware to update

« on: September 27, 2020, 07:57:45 pm »

Help please, have classic PilotAware which has been working ok but now seems to connect erratically.
Have taken unit out of aircraft and now running on desk at home. it occasionally connects but cannot access USB or internet so cannot update via USB.
When it does not connect I get messages such as"http request not supported " I also get this message when trying to save a change in the configuration or if I try to change to traffic or any other page.
Does not seem to be any rhyme or reason .
My tablet and phone show that they are connected to the Pilotaware wifi.
I know this all sounds a bit disjointed but nothing is consistent.

Technical Support / Incorrect Aircraft Reg

« on: July 25, 2018, 06:24:50 pm »

Hi to all
I regularly fly in company with another aircraft which changed reg number last year, the other aircraft has mode S but no PilotAware.
When we fly I see the other aircraft displaying the old reg marking and occasionally both markings alternating.
He has checked his transponder setting and they are correct, has anybody any idea why this should be happening, I am running PilotAware with latest update. I would insert a screenshot if I knew how.

Technical Support / Lost GPS signal in flight

« on: July 22, 2016, 07:22:04 pm »

My Pilotaware unit has auto upgraded the software, on flight yesterday it lost the GPS signal, no changes have been made to the original settings would the upgrade have changed anything.
The other units with GPS were perforing ok with no loss of signal.
Other units:- MGL Enigma, Skymap 3C, Skydemon on Nexus 7(2012) and my phone in my pocket running Skydemon worked ok.
All the GPS aerials,except the phone and Nexus, are mounted on the coming with good view of the sky.
Have ther been any issues with the latest upgrade and can I revert to the previous software.
Thanks   Brian
