Changes to FlightAware's MLAT

[Triple7]

Thanks for this info. I was experiencing the same issue and as I only display Mlats on my ModeSMixer2 screen, it was obvious I was having a problem.

Followed Bethy's instructions and after a bit of stopping and starting of my ModeSMixer script it has sorted itself out.

Anmer - you can close out the FA support call now - thanks

Seems the auto reconnect hasn't been applied yet, so a PiAware restart is still required.

I've lost my return Mlats again this morning. Tried the restart PiAware command and stopped and started my MM2 script even rebooted the Pi. Nothing doing, no Malts

Do you see MLAT on the Skyview map and list?

[Triple7]

Not sure what the Skyview map and list are or where to locate them. If you mean via the FA web site, I never go there - until these last few days to restart the program.

If you can point me in the right direction I'll take a look.

Hi Tim

My MLAT data is missing and I see similar reports on the FA forum, so it looks like a server side issue.  Houston is still asleep!

In your FA account, there's a top menu option "My ADS-B".

This takes you to your stats page from where you can view the local Skyview map and aircraft list. Depending on the Dump1090 install it might show as "View Live Data"

Anyone can view the stats pages and I think this is your one?  Your own access will show more options.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for that. I can see my data and it appears to show Mlats in the list, so I will sit tight until the guys with the keys open up and sort things out!

If you click the MLAT on the list (non-ADS-B aircraft), they're not on the map and the pop-up box doesn't show MLAT. Whatever plots the location doesn't seem to be working.

We'll have to wait for the Texans to get breakfast and head off into the office.

2017/07/21 0400Z: The problem has reoccured; results via piaware are temporarily unavailable again.

Still no MLAT this morning. Restarted Piaware with no difference. MLAT data being received by Flightaware according to stats, but MLATs in list show no location, so data not being fed back.

I see obj wrote yesterday:

"Yeah, this is a system-wide problem now; the band-aid from Monday did not stem the bleeding sufficiently. See the announcement post.
I am working on a proper solution but it is probably a few days away."

Although someone in Coventry reckons it was working this morning - what's your status?

Meanwhile back to PP for MLAT

I checked earlier and no MLAT.

Checked again and I now have MLAT plots again. 

I think a fix has been found and is being progressively rolled out.

Looks like it - MLAT are back now

I'm told MLAT is working for everyone now.
