Technical Support / Re: RunwayHD not connecting to PAW

An update with the RunwayHD to PAW connectivity issue.

I downloaded a free trial of SkyDemon and it is rock solid with PAW. It connected immediately, I can see targets and it's very stable (screenshot attached).

This proves to me that there is nothing wrong with the iPad or the PAW unit. I know that there are others using the same combination of IOS and PAW version with RunwayHD, but it doesn't work for me and I've no idea what the problem is - the issue must be buried somewhere within RunwayHD.


Thanks,
David

Thanks Peter.

I also experienced the regular loss of FLARM connection when mine was working, which is extremely frustrating when you're flying and can't tinker with it. You've answered the question I was pondering about SkyDemon though. I really want to get this working reliably with RunwayHD - however, even if I get the connection working and it continues to be unreliable, it's enough of an issue for me to ditch RunwayHD and switch over to SkyDemon.


Regards,
David

Well, thanks for the suggestions but mine is still not working.

I removed all the connection settings and inputted them all in again. Rebooted iPad, started again and reset all my network connections in the IOS settings with no luck. I even reinstalled RunwayHD without success!

I'm stumped at this point. I've sent a log file to Airbox to see if they can see any clues in that. I'll let you know how it progresses.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for sharing the info, I'm pleased you're up and running! I'll give it a go later on today and see if I get the same - I'll post back on here with results. I've also contacted Tim Marlow at Airbox to see if he can give some advice.


Cheers,
David

Thanks for confirming the versions stillstanding.

I've updated to the same versions as you but still it won't connect - I've also rebooted the iPad several times without success. Time to reach out to Tim Marlow I think.

Thanks for the suggestions Lee.

I've tried port 6000 with no joy - the documentation states 6001 for RunwayHD, so I've put it back to that for now.

Yes, IOS and RunwayHD have recently been updated - so, it is possible one or both of those updates have broken it. I'll contact Tim Marlow as suggested, to see if he can look into this further.


Thanks,
David

Technical Support / RunwayHD not connecting to PAW

I've had the PAW for a couple of months now, using it in an Ikarus C42. I've had no problem picking up commercial airliners but I've seen no smaller targets that ATC have asked me to look out for, even when they've come quite close.

Anyway, now it will not connect to RunwayHD. I can connect to the web interface on the same iPad using wifi and everything seems to look fine. For RunwayHD, I'm connecting with Port 2000 and Passcode 6001. I then select "Enable FLARM" but no "Data" icon is displayed. The status in settings always shows "Disconnected". I'm running PAW version 20161124 with RunwayHD version 3.6.0.20161027. I've attached a few screenshots to show what I'm seeing.

Any sensible advice is very much appreciated.

Cheers,
David Whiting
