Title: Data settings & Time outs
Post by: Pipo on December 08, 2020, 07:30:49 PM
Since this year i have a outside antenne on 32feet, and get a good reading on planes (even those flying above Paris), now i was looking inside basestation and i see there is a "time-out" option in Data settings:

mine are set like this:
Position lost: 30
Signal lost: 5
Remove: 300
Delete: 1800

Message filtering: all are not selected.

Do i need to leave this like it is or any1 have tips to set this up?

Your settings will result in aircraft that are no longer being picked up by the receiver still being displayed for 300 seconds.  I have the following settings so that pretty much only active aircraft are shown:

Position lost:  10
Signal lost:  20
Remove:  20
Delete:  300

There's no right or wrong, it's down to personal choice.  However if you're capable of picking up lots of aircraft simultaneously then perhaps having "Lost" aircraft removed in a shorter time might be something worth considering?

Your Remove and Delete are too long in my view.

As s92driver has suggested, make them shorter.

Mine are:

Remove: 30
Delete: 300

Or experiment.  Nothing is lost.
