Radarbox24 still inttermittent on Windows Desktop, as they dont have software to feed from RPi. In begining of this year, I purchased Raspberry Pi, and switched the feed of Planefinder & Flightradar24 to RPi, and also added Flightaware feed, and a 24/7 feed is working since then. This was an experiment & exploration, as my Desktop did not run 24 hrs a dsy / 7 days a week. When I landed into the adsb hobby 2½ years ago, I started feeding Planefinder, Flightradar24 and Radarbox24 using my DVB-T, and receiver software RTL1090 installed on Windows Desktop. I’ve never considered Planefinder - maybe I need to look at that. MLAT-radar-net is yet another source of data The Piaware forum is also a useful resource. Piaware is a whole different thing - as mentioned by the OP, the ability to take the MLAT data and use it was the deciding factor. I used to send data to Flightaware from my SBS-3 but saw no benefit from it so I stopped the feed. I also like the playback feature so I contribute as “payment” for using that facility.įlightaware - I wouldn’t bother with it except for its Piaware software. Planeplotter because it offered MLAT before anyone else so I continue to use it.įR24 because I occasionally use the app when on vacation. I’m happy to supply data to them all since they provide different options and capabilities.īefore I explain why I contribute to each of those, let me just say I’m a plane spotter - I want to know the tail number : It doesn’t cost me anything to send the data since the monthly charge for the 50Mb down /15Mb up broadband link includes unlimited data. I’m currently sending my data to PlanePlotter, FR24, Flightaware (via Piaware) and a UK network. Posts up to now show that i’m not a ‚natural born fanboy‘ but now i have to say ‚thank you houston‘ I asked myself ‚why should they do this over the coming years‘ as what they do costs lots of money and all the others (pf, fr24 etc.) get your data too - nearly for nothing. active software development and excellent technical support from obj.a highly active and very helpful forum which is truly uncensored.
the guys from planefinder are friendly but their app and webinterface are mediocre - from flightradar24 you get nearly zero support and their main advantage the app costs about 20$ all inclusive. My reasons to shut down all other feeds was: what do i get back from them for my about 50-100$/month worth data? in my opinion - nearly nothing. as my internet-connection is 50mbit down and 10 mbit up - this was definitely not the reason even it was funny to become global number six feeder in planefinder - yesterday i shut down all my feeds apart from flightaware. It’s about three months ago when i started this ads-b thing and feeding planefinder then flightaware and at least flightradar24. ini extension.My intention with this post is - to get a real discussion about other feeds beside flightaware. An example file is given (plane1.ini) plane config files should be in the configs directory, the program looks for any file in that folder with a.When using OpenSky there are more bugs because I mainly use ADS-B Exchange and work less on the OpenSky Implementation.Proxy is if your running multiple programs that use the ADSB Exchange, setup the proxy from lemonodor so you don't abuse the ADSB Exchange API, otherwise leave enable false.
It is not cheap to get the ADS-B Exchange full API, Don't contact them unless you are ready to pay. It only works with the API that they give when you have a partnership with ADS-B Exchange. The ADS-B Exchange API is not free and this program will not work for the Rapid API from ADS-B Exchange.
The OpenSky API is free for everyone but the data is not as good as ADS-B Exchange.Pick between OpenSky and ADS-B Exchange.
