  what is new?

[sergsero]

Made improvements for Windows 10.
Fixed some bugs in the code when working on ARM SoC.

There are no new user features in this version. They will be implemented in the next versions that are currently in development.

Hi sergsero,

Have you seen this request .. https://www.radarspotters.eu/forum/index.php?topic=7938.msg55597#msg55597 . Not many people appear to use that forum now so it's possible that you missed the request.

Adding carriage controls into your --net output would be great.

Thanks

Hi sergsero,

I have the new version up and running on windows 10. Works OK and it's good to see that the new 'AD2' interface now maintains original formatting with inclusion of CR/LF.

Oceanic clearance now displays correctly in the 'AD2' TCP/IP interface as

BAW249 CLRD TO SBGL VIA UMLER
RANDOM ROUTE
PASAS 37N020W 30N025W BAMUX 20N028W
FM UMLER/1302 MNTN F340 M082
END OF MESSAGE

Thanks.
Stuart
p.s. minor typo - in the acarsdeco2.readme it states "For example: --outServer ad:30008". It should be "For example: --outServer ad2:30008"

Hello,

Some time ago I started working on a new version of the program.
At the moment there is the first test version 20170819. I will be grateful for testing and feedback.

New capabilities of acarsdeco2:

- receive ACARS messages from external sources via network and transmit local data to remote users. The format of options similar to those used in ModeSMixer2.

Code Select Expand

  --inConnect <arg>       Input connector. Format: (sbs|ad2):host:port
  --inConnectId <arg>     Named input connector. Format: (sbs|ad2):host:port:ID
  --inServer <arg>        Input server. Format: (sbs|ad2):port
  --inServerId <arg>      Named input server. Format: (sbs|ad2):port:ID
  --inServerUdp <arg>     Input UDP server. Format: (sbs:ad2):port
  --outServer <arg>       Output server. Format: (sbs|ad2):port
  --outConnect <arg>      Output connector. Format (sbs|ad2):host:port
  --outConnectUdp <arg>   Output UDP connector. Format: (sbs|ad2):host:port

- support two message formats when transmitting via network: sbs  - without keeping original format of message and ad2 - with keeping format.
- obtaining an additional information: from basestation.sqb database file for aircraft, from flightroute.sqb for route of flight, full names of airports of departure and arrival.

Code Select Expand

  --frdb <arg>            Set path to flightroutes database file (read-only access to the database) (default: off)
  --db <arg>              Set path to basestation database file (read-only access to the database) (default: off)

- display on web pages a silhouette of aircraft, logo of airline and country flag of aircraft registration.

Code Select Expand

  --silhouettes <arg>     Set path to directory of aircrafts' silhouettes (default: off)
  --banners <arg>         Set path to directory of operators' logos (default: off)
  --pictures-url <arg>    Set aircraft pictures collection url. Example: http://site.com/path/to/ (default: off)
  --pictures <arg>        Set aircraft pictures collection local path. Example: http://site.com/path/to/ (default: off)

- the WEB interface (in the moment) has three pages and the table stores data of during 12 hours of observation.

If simultaneously with ACARS data you receiving ADS-B messages from the same aircraft and use VRS, I suggest to add to arguments for run the option --vrs-url <arg>, for example: --vrs-url http://192.168.1.10, for obtaining more information.

In this version temporarily disabled:
- transmission of data via UDP protocol to PlanePlotter,
- select SDR device instance by its serial number.


Best regards,
sergsero
