Title: Planeplotter settings
Post by: faithle55 on May 01, 2014, 05:23:01 PM
Has anybody got a screen shot of the "Input/output settings" table on planeplotter ?

Not to sure if I have all the right box's ticked. I am running a SBS-3 24/7 and sharing to PP via good internet. Picking a lot of MLATs up myself if I do the manual MLAT but not showing much unless in do it myself :(

Any help would be good

Hi Nige

Make sure you've ticked "download positionless data" in "Sharing".

Thankyou Stephen, was a couple of boxes I hadnt had ticked, hopefully that will help :)

the only other one I am not to sure about is in the drop down box, if I need to highlight the
SBS1/RBv3 TCP
or
SBS1/3 direct TCP

SBS1/3 direct TCP will give you all the extra features that Basestation doesn't provide
make sure that you also allocate the port 127.0.0.1:30006

BTW there have been 70,000 mlat fixes so far today over the UK

Just stuck it on the SBS1/3 direct and have no RAW data out, so is that because I also need to allocate that port, already done the other UDP/IP local port to 9742

Have you set port forwarding for 9742 in your router?
Title: Re: Planeplotter settings
Post by: faithle55 on May 01, 2014, 06:54:11 PM
Yep, port forwarded 9742 to the computer and have fixed a static IP address to the one running PP

In I/O Settings have you checked "Allow Auto Mlats" and "RAW data for Mlats"?
Title: Re: Planeplotter settings
Post by: faithle55 on May 01, 2014, 07:31:24 PM
Both of those are ticked :)

Hmm c'mon John, you're the resident expert.....

It's actually

Options>>Mode-S receiver>>Kinetic SBS family>>SBS3-Direct address

Then as you have it 

Type in     127.0.01:30006

;D

Surely it's

127.0.0.1:30006

Not 127.0.01:30006

Problem, if I do it as that Tim, even with the correct 127.0.0.1:30006 it turns all my plots off

If I do it Satcoms way, I keep my plots but now have the decending flight levels

Getting more confused

Thanks for all you help this evening. Its behaving better than before, got a few more things to sort out like correct plane symbols on screen and in the planeplotter lists. Sadly playing around with files is not my strength.

Its quite a learning curve Nige , but then the software provides just about everything you need...and more

Take things slowly and gradually build it up to your specific taste...and don't forget that  there is also the PlanePlotter Yahoo group with a files section , plus the Online Help via the Help tag in the software...plus Nic Storey's great  tutorial videos

Is your recommended IP address correct?

Can you please show me where under Options>>Sharing>>Set-up (per your instructions) there is an option to enter an IP address, as it isn't on my screen and never has been. Hence I corrected your post to show Options>>Mode-S receiver>> etc etc.
