Hi Steve,

Thanks for the info  :)

Cheers,

Keef.

Thanks very much for that Steve, your help is very much appreciated. I'll change it now. Nothing due tonight anyway, hopefully tomorrow.

Just as a follow up in case anyone else reeads this who has the same problem, I've edited the batch file and everything is working perfectly now, thanks once again to Steve.

Interesting discovery today.

I use ModeMixer2 to feed data from PiAware to Basestation.

I noticed 9H-SEC tracking north of me on FR24 but no sign of it on Basestation.  Checking my PiAware map, there it was.

So ModeSMixer2 is also "blocking" some 9H messages.  Has anyone added

--filter-nocountry

to their ModeSMixer.bat file and if so, whereabouts?

Just added the --filter-nocountry to the ModesMIxer2.exe command line. I don't think I missed any aircraft but I'll keep a close eye on the Malta based aircraft.

Anmer

Thanks John.

By the time I'd added the filter, 9H-SEC was outside my range  :-\

My database has no 9H-SEC yet but I'll keep my eyes open.
The documentation for ModeSMixer2 is somewhat sparse but does anybody know how ModeSMixer2 filters the country-codes?
My ModeSMixer2 is placed in the BaseStation directory, could it be it uses the Countries.dat file? I changed the entry for Malta to include the new codes...

Malta=010011010010xxxxxxxxxxxx,12,Malta.bmp

I suspect that ModeSMixer is hard coded with the hex code ranges and therefore ignores any that are not included. Adding the --filter-nocountry overrides that and processes all hex codes regardless. I've had thet switch in my .bat file since I first created it years ago, so have not noticed the lack of plots mentioned in this thread.

I have also noticed that SBS-1 Populate shows the newer Maltese hex codes as "unknown" in the country field so that too must have some internal database coded into the app.

Thanks Tim

This is what I tried in the MSM2 bat.  Not sure if it will work?

@echo off
CMD /c I:\MSM2\modesmixer2.exe --filter-nocountry --inConnect 192.168.1.136:30005 --inConnect 192.168.1.136:30105 --outServer sbs10001:10002
exit

Hi Mike,

Looks good to me  - same as mine, albeit in a different order but that makes no difference.

Just to confirm that the ModeSMixer2 BAT file change has worked and the new 9H codes are showing.

At least 9H-WBL did.  When I removed the BAT file entry:

--filter-nocountry

...the aircraft disapperared from Basestation.  Adding it back and the flight reappeared.

Thanks to all who helped with this.

Hi Jeff,

Do you mean how to invoke ModeSMixer2 with the correct parameters? The there are a few things we need to know. Could you be a specific you can be on what kind of receiver you use, and is everything on one computer of more etc etc.

Hi Geoff

Maybe the best approach is for me to do a remote connection and take a look with you?  We can arrange to do this when it's convenient for both of us.
