This is interesting. not sure what it means but the drone in SW AZ is spelling out letters with the track. FCG https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=ae1313
That drone is an Airbus solar powered drone that has been in the air for 50 days now. It's been spelling lotsa stuff. If you are a ADSBX feeder, Join the Discord server. It's way more active than this forum
i'm not a feeder but if i had the money to buy the equipment i would. why is this forum so inactive? Isn't planespotting a big hobby? wow I didn't realize it's solar powered. it did'nt show any info so i couldnt' see what kind of drone it is. is it military? what are they using it for out in the desert?
It's a big hobby, The Discord server is just more popular. There are over 700 people online right now. You can join over there, but feeders get access to more channels. The drone is doing a demonstration for the military. Airbus is trying to sell the pentagon on persistent ISR capability.
that's too bad that people are not as welcome if you're not a feeder. I've never used Discord and didn't' know what it was. So many new trendy websites these days. I wonder if i should setup a go fund me page for starting a feeder? I have no money to allocate for one. but want to try to do one. I have a server for the ATCS Monitor at my house. but the RR's are doing away with ATCS and similar protocols and we will no longer be able to watch the trains on the ATCS Monitor. the new protocol is said to be illegal to decode. thankfully the aviation hobby is open to decoding the transponders so we can watch the planes on the screen and even see what the planes are and who owns them.
Join here from the main ADSB X home page please! ADSBExchange (discord.com) Plenty of help there and friendly too. A feeder should cost under $300 even with these shortages of chips.
I'm still up to $400 in my prime store card i'm trying to pay off. including a smart watch i had to replace i charged. plus i have to buy a new windshield next thanks to the car that went in the shoulder on the turnpike and threw rocks at my car. so it will be next year by the time i get all this paid off. I'm on disability with a fixed income.
signed up. all i see is announcements or silent lounge. i dont' really see any aircraft discussions. am I missing something here? edit now i can't see nothing for ADSB Exchange. when I try to rejoin nothing happens.
I think you can message a moderator without being a feeder to get some access, but not all of the channels.
i still can't see anything. there's some bot wanting me to click a link for a caphta then it brings up a webpage with a error message on a big red band across the top of screen. I see no way to do anything in discord. It doesn't work like a discussion forum. you can create servers but i see no way to find a server like ADSB.
You have to solve the captcha presented by the Bot and submit then it goes to a moderator who grants access.
it won't do anything. i had it working before when you first invited me but after the computer rebooted i can't get the ADSB exchange on there. there wasn't much on there i could see as it was. but now it's not and i can't solve the captha because it won't load.
