These seem to be very similar - what are the pros and cons / do you get the same capabilities.

Technical Support / Software upgrade and ghosting
« on: August 27, 2022, 06:25:37 am »
I’ve upgraded to latest software so I can take advantage of Igrid.
On the first flight yesterday I was getting regular ghosting.
Do the upgrades mess up the hex code?
Can some look at the log file if I send to see what was going on?

General Discussion / Re: Enhancement Requests
« on: August 22, 2022, 12:36:01 pm »The one peeve I have with pilotaware is repeated traffic alerts for the same aircraft.
When flying near another aircraft where there’s some signal obscuration the EC bounces in and out, pilotaware gives repeated warnings which can get quite frustrating to get repeated audio alerts, e.g. Warning 3km, 20 seconds later, another 3km warning, then another, then another, etc.
I appreciate that PAW needs to pass on traffic warnings, but what I am asking for is some simple “intelligence” as to whether that warning has already been delivered. E.g. configurable setting to not alert if the traffic has been reported in the last X seconds. Exception to this would be for bearingless targets that increase in severity e.g. notice->warning->alert, but repeated warnings of the same plane where the signal drops in and out, or where the bearingless target moves away would be suppressed. Similarly where a bearingless swaps to a GPS-located e.g. through triangulation and then back to a bearingless as the triangulation is lost, these would only alert the first time (or every X seconds).

Just to make it clear on my request versus the above:
please please please can we have either a mobile native app (ios and android) or have a mobile optimised version of the admin pages? specific things that would be useful:
1) quick way of muting and unmuting audio
2) more user friendly radar page
i find the current pages difficult to use on an ipad never mind a smaller screen!
There's two types of audio mute i'd be intersted in;
1) a global mute/unmute option. when i'm on the ground and until i'm at the threshold i want no audio. i want a quick way at the hold to turn audio back on. it's too fiddly to do this via the webpages right now
2) i agree with @geoffreyC on repeated warnings being annoying. however it would be very hard for the software to determine when to "shut up". one neat feature (but its not possible) is that on the EFB (e.g. SD) or the radar screen you could acknowldge alert once you are visual. it should only the re-alert if any of the following changes (a certain time passes, height reduced by X, distance reduced by Y)

Yeah
just thinking, if I fly regular routes it would be interesting to say i had ATOM coverage in 3D area X and cellular coverage in 3D area y, both in W and none in Z etc.
mainly it falls in the geeky "if the data's there i'd like to play with visualise it camp"

that's great, but it'd be good to aggregte the data ie for a single ICAO code but over all time

not sure what this is showing me? i assume this will show a single point in time reception for celluar by a ground station? what i'm taking about is an aggregate view

Yes, there's still the rule/law/wives tale that airborn use of celluar is not allowed/not in the terms of service?
I don wonder whether this is one for time to sort out.....e.g. what is the future of drones - will it all be point to point or will 5G/celluar eventually be pervaisive?
From a "not pissing off the cellular providers" i assume you're thinking of collection the data internally and perhaps tapping them onthe shoulder if there's patchy reception
how about allowing collection of data per user/ e.g. could i view when I have reception through my routes?

My OP was a leading question. We collect data via VECTOR plots.
I wonder whether it would be (a) interesting (b) worthwhile (c) permitted to start collecting / aggregating data on phone coverage in 3D?

I assume there’s no publicly available information to show phone reception by altitude. And for a bonus overlay this with existing ground stations coverage.

Any ideas how one is supposed to use iGrid in a group aircraft - does the network config page have ability to save multiple hotspots to avoid having to change it every time?

General Discussion / Re: Mute Audio options
« on: April 10, 2022, 08:04:59 pm »
If anyone's interested I've managed to create a couple of IOS Shortcuts to Mute and Unmute audio.
I want to use this when I've started up and don't want PAW bleating at me.
The logic goes like this;
1) You press the MUTE shortcut
2) It sets the volume on your PAW to zero
3) It sets a timer running for X seconds and beeps at you every Y seconds. (in example below I've set it to 5 seconds but will set this to a minute when using
4) When the timer expires it prompts you to remind you audio is muted and you can choos to reset timer (go back to 3) or to UNMUTE the audio.
5) If you want to unmute before the timer expires just run the UNMUTE shortcut
