    Hi

    Apologies if this has been asked before, but I have tried searching Forum and not found anything yet.

    I am a new feeder to ADSB Exchange, but have been feeding to FlightAware for 3 years. On my test Pi (PiZero W) which does sometimes display temporary MLAP errors (slow response, processor?), PiAware continues to display some MLAP aircraft, but all aircraft on ADSB Exchange show as not MLAP. If I understand correctly ADSB Exchange does not (must not?) use FlightAware MLAP.
    • PiAware 3.6.3
    • Pi Zero W
    • Custom Feed "UK-MH-FEED"
    • I installed ADSB Exchange using the script, does that install MLAP for ADSB Exchange or do I need some addition steps?

    many thanks
    Mike

    Hi vtec23

    Thanks for your response.

    Not 100% on "feeder matrix page", I followed links to How to Feed -> Feeder Statistics and "Western Europe/West Africa ". I have never looked at the matrix before. Should I be looking for my feeder name (UK-MH-FEED)? If so I was not able to locate. Also when I looked at the map, which I had looked at once and found a pointer with my email address, but this time nothing on Market Harborough.

    regards
    Mike
