(MLAT)Feeder mapping for a particular aircraft?

    Hi there,

    on many MLAT-tracked aircrafts, the tracks shows dashed lines. So that is the part of the track where not enough data was available to triangulate the track, right?
    Is there any possibility to take a look at all MLAT stations/feeders that are used for triangulation of the position of a particular aircraft?

    I would simply like to know the geographical lack of feeders.

    For example I click on an airplane. Lines will be drawn from the aircraft to the feeders that receive this aircraft on a map. It also shows which feeders are used for triangulation.

    That's in my mind....

    What do the lines exactly show? I assume that they illustrate the "links" to the feeders that receive all the same aircraft?

    A line means sync.
    There are artificial limits on sync in place to save some CPU.
    I i would turn that off there would be more lines for the good feeders.
    That only kicks in after 30 synced receivers more than 40 km away or something like that.
    Nearby receiver sync isn't limited.

    Sync means 2 receivers have at least one common ADS-B aircraft because those location messages is what the sync is based upon.
