General Discussion / Re: SD Shows ICAO code rather than Aircraft Reg - See Technical Support Forum

To avoid confusing duplication with the thread of the same title posted by the same OP in 'Technical Support', I have now locked this thread.

Technical Support / Re: ICAO HEX Code, not Callsign

« Last Post by Timothy on May 25, 2025, 09:39:21 pm »

It's an asterisk that's in the field and remains in there when you paste in the code!

Without it, it woks, thank you!

But, sadly, of course, it gets us no further.  As others have said, it doesn't show what I have received and why.

I wonder if any progress has been made on this reg thing?

Why the asterisk at the start of the hex code?

Have you tried without it?

So, I am now at my desk, and I get this.

What am I doing wrong, or different?  This is driving me mad!

How are you all seeing me and I see nothing, on iPhone or PC browser?

I can’t be patronised, the depths of my ignorance are boundless and yes!

I have done a screenshot of my iPhone and tried to attach it, but I’m told that the size of the the file is too great to attach.

This is yet another frustration.  Why do they allow, even have a special button for, iPhone photos, and then not allow screenshots, the most obvious use of the feature?

Nothing seems to be tested by users before rollout any more!

Anyway, I have cropped it, let’s see if that works…

No, that doesn’t work because the cropped screenshot is a jpeg and it doesn’t accept jpeg.

It’s just one thing after another after another!

Without wishing to sound patronising, are you dragging the lollipop (at the bottom of the screen) from left to right to drive the timeline?

That is, indeed, me. I don’t understand why I don’t get the same results from the same input

Today I flew in the other aircraft with SE2, but the same iPad and SD, and all the registrations were solid, so I hope that eliminates those two variables from the equation.

Yeah, that looks like Timothy and I've had a gander at his recent tracks as well.

PAW good and ADSB good.

All that is very well but it doesn't tell us why he (and me) are seeing lots of HEX codes instead of registrations.

I'm not too bothered about it but it is definitely a 'thing' and it seems to have got more prevalent with the FX versus the Pi versions.

On the other hand, my ATOM station is a Pi and it is seeing plenty of HEX codes (including the Spit the other day). Could the common denominator be iGrid/Internet, instead of FX?

I will try and note, next time I see a bunch of HEX codes, if I have a green iGrid blob or not. If none appear when iGrid has disconnected (due to poor 4G) then it might provide a clue........possibly, maybe.
