Mil ModeS Lookup
here https://www.live-military-mode-s.eu/
The access via 'Public Pages' to 'Mode-S DataBase'
which worked well for my occasional single lookup for a
corresponding registration, shown with type and sometimes Unit.
Since a week I get the 'not in all 3 DB' window.
Not sure whether it is just me, with lastest Firefox
or is Database gone off ?
Can some one please cross check via yours .

Is there an alternative site with DB
without the obligation to share traffic ?

TIA

Hi,

It has been the same for me for a while now.
Going back a bit further all the lookups would fail with a database error.

The error no longer appears but as you say no results are returned.

So I'm guessing there was a database problem which buggered things completely and it is in the process of being fixed.

I was thinking about making contact but I have held off as I'm assuming the problem is known and replying to queries from lots of people probably won't lead to a quicker resolution.

I don't know of another site that provides the level of detail that Mil Mode-S lookup offers but would also be interested to hear if anyone knows of one.

Alberts site is good for a free setup. You have to be aware that Alberts work takes him away for some considerable time. Therefore you will probably have to wait until he gets back.

I find sending an email and wait until he gets chance to answer works best

Good Morning all

Now I know it is not me alone.
I once asked via the contact form and no reply yet.
And you both pointed it out.
Better wait hope and see.

thanks
Klaus

It's working OK again for me at the moment.

Nice to have it back!

Hi

I upgraded my RPi to a 3B+ and Stretch and now cannot get logged automatically into Alberts site to feed. The old setup on the old RPi still works and copying the files across doesn't make any difference so I'm at a loss as to what to change but it now doesn't feed.

His forum is still down so cant try there and a previous search page is down (but he's looking at that at the moment).

Just wondering if anyone else has been getting automatic login feed issues

Top 3 lines from log in case anyone has a quick fix.
