In past posts, I’ve explained ways that you can run more than one virtual radar application at the same time. It was an ugly, complicated process. Now, with ModeSMixer2, it’s much simpler. Some things you need to know before you start: If you want all of your ADS-B applications running on the same PC, then the …

I’ve written many posts over the last couple of years detailing the steps needed to integrate ADS-B decoder applications (like RTL-1090 and dump1090) with virtual radar display apps (like BaseStation and PlanePlotter). The solutions were mostly complicated by the need to use additional software utilities to massage data streams. I recently came across a decoder …
I used to have a page on this site called Today’s Flights. It provided a list of all the flights recorded by my BaseStation setup for the day, and at midnight it would start fresh from zero. At some point, it stopped working, and I never bothered to fix it. After all, why fix it …
There has been a push recently from within the PlanePlotter community to use dump1090 for Windows rather than RTL1090. The reasoning is that dump1090 provides better raw data for use with multilateration (mlat for short), which can help to identify the location of non-ADS-B aircraft if enough shared data exists. I was hesitant to move …
If you’ve got a Raspberry Pi running as a virtual radar system, then this may be of interest to you. FlightAware has released a small application to allow your Raspberry Pi to feed data to its website. Called PiAware, the application looks pretty simple to install and setup. It assumes you already have a Raspberry …
