All, A common request is to allow access via a dedicated app for mobile/tablet users.  Community member Steve Kuo has developed one.  The app is compatible with any VRS source, however the default source is ADSBexchange. It’s a very handy way to view local traffic from ADSBexchange or any VRS server. http://openadsbapp.com/ Please note: Although it’s Read More …

We have a new Raspberry Pi “image” available based on piAware 3.5.3 available here: https://www.adsbexchange.com/piaware-image/ New Features: Based on the piAware 3.5.3 image with some additions. All necessary customization for using Wifi and ADSBexchange “Custom Feeds” features are available simply by editing the piaware-config.txt file when mounting the image on your desktop computer. Add a Read More …

The first of many new features to come – Custom Feeds – see your own receiver’s traffic, range “splat”, etc.

An additional MLAT server was brought online this evening.  This is a dedicated 5.0Ghz server for the eastern US.  It also allows load to be removed from other servers.  We’ll run it like this for now and see how it goes.  East coast people – let me know if you have any MLAT issues.   Read More …

So, everyone has been asking about better historical data, including full flight paths, not just start and end points.  We have a feature under development, and it’s at least ready to the point we can start getting some use out of it. This feature is still in testing, and could still be “Under Construction” over Read More …

All, FYI, in order to improve MLAT performance and reliability, we have a 5.0 Ghz water-cooled server on order.  ETA is 10 days from now.  This should address any issues we have in certain high-traffic regions at busy times of the day.   Thanks, Dan      

Hello everyone, just wanted to update you on the latest things happening. We have a programmer working on what is shaping up to be an excellent historical flight path visualization tool for historical data.  Of course, this will be free to everyone, with no filtered aircraft. I anticipate this will be live by the end Read More …

ADSBexchange.com is looking for a developer to help improve our historical flight visualization ability.  View description here: https://www.upwork.com/jobs/~010e1ca90f2fbd3055  

Do you have jagged, wiggly MLAT tracks when viewing your local dump1090 client?  If you’re using the ADSBexchange image install for Raspberry pi, it’s likely because the dump1090 display is showing both FlightAware and ADSBexchange MLAT results.  FlightAware does have a more complete (but filtered/obfuscated) MLAT network, so your best bet if these squiggly tracks Read More …
