« Last Post by DY691 on March 21, 2024, 10:19:34 am »

Hello
during my last flight in France the flarms were not visible although I activated the connection sharing as before.
Has anything changed?
gliders were available with safesky

General Discussion / Re: Aircrew.co.uk and PilotAware Playback Sites

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 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
Bob

Hi again Bob,

Very strange, I was using it yesterday and again just now - on Chrome on my Windows 10 laptop. I just typed in ' playback.pilotaware.com/playback/ ' to the URL box and hit 'Enter' and the browser went straight to the site (Chrome automatically added https:// to the front of the URL).

I've just tried to speak to the guys who look after the PilotAware servers but neither of them are responding. I will try again later.

Regards

Peter

.....even has the ‘sun’ position if appropriate based on time of day of the flight.

I would put money on that 'feature' never having been requested of the Pilot Aware developers 

Big yellow thing outside the window.......why do I need an app for that?

Please note my FlySto recommendation - see another post. I have not made a traffic comparison with PilotAware but FlySto has a lot, maybe all mode-s, and has the novel advantage of a view of the traffic through the windshield, plus the terrain also and even has the ‘sun’ position if appropriate based on time of day of the flight.

Any suggestions would be very welcome.

I'm not that familiar with the Funke, but my first port of call would be to check the coax cable from the back of unit to the aerial.

If it's a BNC, then checking the the centre pin has not been pushed back in and is full inserted in the connector body, and the that both the inner and outer conductor buzz as continuous with a multimeter from one end to the other. Is the aerial grounded properly to the metal skin of the aircraft, if it needs a ground plane?

Either connector corroded? Quick squirt with contact cleaning spray?

Are you trying to get to the site with https in the front of it?

Try:

https://playback.pilotaware.com/playback/

You do not have the rights to access the directory above...

Your tablet and phone may be autocompleting...

How old is the Funke transponder? The new versions are not brilliant for ADSB Out, the old ones could be useless. Upgrading them requires a return to Germany and a fair number of Deutschmarks.
