Thank you Gyzmok for the update news.

I immediately installed the new version and it installed without problems.
(Don't forget to update the plugins if you use them !)

I particularly like the new feature to resort the plane list by just clicking on the list headings.

What took me some time to find was the options and reports.
These are no longer on the right plane info section, but are now located under the 'Settings' button on the map.

Now will try the combination of feeds. Lots of other new features still to explore as well.

Yes, I updated the Database Writer plugin.

I like the "Custom Content" plugin.
You can now 'customize' the way the site presents itself on the first visit.
I was not fond of the 'altitude stalks'
I like the view with the coloured trails by altitude.

I also like the possibility to connect multiple receivers :
and switch between them on the site
Try Settings - Receiver

Hello to all...

Well, I install the new version, and look great...but  My first impression is good, with a better presentation, and good new options like the coloured trails, and look ranges circles with option of number and distance. 

The reports sections is my problem that I like the old way (select the registration, or ICAO) from the list of aircarft and open a new page with the information.

I see in the next days if hold the actualization, or go back...

The latest version is excellent it allows you to combine receivers so you can set up your own network.

Also If you have an SBS-3 or any SBS-1 with a SDR PUCK you can set up ACARS on the SDR receiver and the new multiple receiver feed in Virtual Radar Server allows you to amalgamate the ADSB port 30003 feed with an acars feed

The easiest way to get the ACARS feed is set up ACARS on the SBS-3 or SDR Puck then use BS ACARS list to feed into VRS on port 50003

You then have a combined plot of ADSB and ACARS

You will find BS Acars list details here http://www.kinetic.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=15417&sid=492074189b56a0f28a4f446d9e04bba4

I am working on a video and will post it as soon as complete

One other thing that is useful you can connect VRS directly to an SBS-3 without basestation

Any issues on setup when using kinetic products email me at support at taylormaderf.co.uk

I successfully merged 2 dongles making an unique feed, it works really fine. I can also view all traffic from my FR24 box, statistics, etc.

I thought I'd need to set up a passthrough rebroadcast to feed PP, but it is not necessary. VRS and PP catching data from FR24 box at the same time.

Are you able to share data to PP from your FR24 receiver?

Are you able to share data to PP from your FR24 receiver?

A few vague comments on FR24 forum suggest that sharing to PP is not permitted since the receiver was provided to generate FR24 data. But is it in any terms and conditions and how can they tell?

FR24 box data can be displayed on PP so I guess it would work

[Anmer]

But is it in any terms and conditions and how can they tell?

Yes and Yes they can.

[IanH]

But I guess it's not a problem using PP as a visual display of the FR24 box data - just can't share on the PP network?

Edit: Of course VRS is another option to display FR24 data.

[Anmer]

Using PP to view aircraft from the FR24 receiver is OK.  But sharing the data with another service is not allowed.  Or one can use VRS, adsbScope or RadarView,

[Breitling]

Yes, I can see data from the FR24 receiver on VRS, ADSBScope and PP, and it's possible to share data to PP network. Anyway I know terms and conditions from FR24, so I'm not sharing to any other network with data from my FR24 box. Just tested to know about its performances in order to get a Radarcape (basically the same receiver).

Once tested I have some doubts and questions, but I'll start a new thread in the Beast forum.

Hello everyone

Just to update this thread, V2.0.2 has now been released.

Version 2.0.2, 7th April 2014:

Fixed: The list sort order was not being loaded correctly.
Fixed: Reports weren't showing the line between the start and end points when running under Mono.
Fixed: OperatorFlagCode and ModelIcao fields with invalid characters can no longer cause an exception to be thrown when displaying silhouettes or logos.
Fixed: Reports now search all alternate callsigns for routes.
Fixed: Operator flags and logos can be overridden by ICAO or registration, as per version 1 of the site.
Added receiver range plot. Only receivers with a receiver location will have their range plotted.
Added thumbnails for aircraft pictures from www.airport-data.com to the aircraft detail panel.
Added support for showing different markers for ground vehicles and radio masts on the map.
The number of lines of labels on aircraft markers is now configurable.
Improved the way that circular routes (e.g. ORD-IAD-ORD) are displayed to the user.

Best wishes, Enjoy!

Jon
