Hi sergsero,

I've installed the latest version of AcarsDeco2 on my raspberry pi, (v.20181201)
looks like its working, I am able to open the webpage, and see some data.

I have some issues, maybe you can help:

1: I'm not able to get the vrs data working, like flags etc. No error messages at the AD2 console, I see connections at vrs control panel.
2: When I add my AD2 instance as a vrs source (SBS), no data is received.
3: I cannot use all the ACARS freqs, eg 136.750MHz gives me an error: 'Error: Freqency out of range'

I start AD2 with the following info:

./acarsdeco2 --gain 49.6 --device-serial 00000001 --freq 131725000 --http-port 8090 --vrs-url http://192.168.0.5:80 --outServer sbs:30008


any ideas ?

tnx !

sergsero, are you still maintaining this software?

If so, I'd like to ask about new feature to take more data from VRS. Since you already pull aircraft data from VRS, perhaps also get Logos, Flags, Side Views etc.

usually Operator Flag and Model Flag are

OpFlag

Obviously these have to be pulled from the particular database entry for the ADS-B ICAO HEX code.

Thank you!

Is there any news on the development of this software, or is it abandoned?

We don't know for sure but I would assume all Sergsero's apps are either abandoned or in suspended development.

Sergsero hasn't logged onto this forum for nearly 12 months.

Yes I wish there would be an Win Version to.

Sad, I preferred the *deco UI over all the other solutions.

And this is a good example of why developers should just open source your project on something like Gitlab / Github.
So others may pick up on your work and continue it should you get bored and move on.

I found readsb + tar1090 to be actively developed solutions mid-2022 - https://github.com/wiedehopf

[For anyone with a Raspberry Pi and an SDR dongle, I can highly recommend following this detailed guide https://sdr-enthusiasts.gitbook.io/ads-b/ for setting up your own feeder all the major commercial flight tracking website as well as a raft of non-commercial tracking sites. This is just the start....

There is, or was - 2015 version from my archive attached. There may very well be newer versions but as I don't do ACARS, this is the latetst one I have. I also have versions dated 19th April 2015 and 5th September 2014.
