Neil,
If you want a version of the map code that gets rid of those awful SVG-type aircraft icons, let me know your current email address. I can send you the map version I sent to Dave Blake that has the red icons with data tags.

I also identify military/government aircraft in the...

Re: Build an ADS-B Receiver - PiAware
Welcome, Neil. As for antennas, the simple to build ground plane has performed well. Dave had some weather issues with his outside ground plane being unprotected. He built a cantenna with a cover and it too has performed well. Cantenna: http://forum.planefinder.net/threads/ads-b-diy-antenna.23/page-16

I recently built a new antenna that Dave Blake also uses. It has increased my coverage out to approximately 195 miles.

Re: Around the World Flight
Nice, Dave! Only three flights and the harder way of westbound. Is it possible to make it in two, based on the current flight schedule?

Re: Build an ADS-B Receiver - PiAware
I have now written a program to feed the aircraft observations from my RPi to a database on my hosting site. This has allowed me to determine specifics about the aircraft such as type, registration and whether it is military by matching the aircraft hexcode with a couple of other database tables con...

The Flight Aware Flight Crew is not just for those feeding flight data to Flight Aware. Anyone with a Flight Aware account can join a crew.

Re: Build an ADS-B Receiver
One other advantage of feeding Flight Aware is they upgrade your account to the Enterprise level. They normally charge $89.95/month for this account type.

Re: From the Top of the World
I always thought the Thule AB had the Top of the World slogan. I have a certificate somewhere, that I received for my TDY time at Thule, that has the slogan on it. I guess ENSB, at 78N, has Thule beat at 76N.

I first met Ken in person when he, Craig Kennedy, Jim Swanson and I visited subLogic in 1993 to present ...

I built my system in October 2010. The motherboard, CPU, RAM and video card are the same as Dave Vega. Dave and his son assisted with the overclocking. I am considering upgrading to the EVGA/Nvidia 560 video card. I have not flown FS9 since May. All flying since then has been with FSX and most has b...
