Information to all FR24 feeders!

[speedbird1960]

I don't know if anyone on here feeds Flightradar24, but the feeder software is being changed.
This quote from Flightradar24 Forum explains whats happening.

"As you may know, we have been working on a new feeder/upload software for Windows. The software is now in final beta stage (aircraft visible with "TEST" as radar on FR24). We are now preparing the download process for all present and new feeders. The new software will be available for free download directly on FR24 web page, and will require a simple registration process to activate a local radar/ICAO ID + possibility to view/change settings. We will get back on Tuesday next week, with more information exactly how to get the new software working.

The new software is faster, using less data and got more configuration possibilities.

So if you have problems with the present ModeS software please be patient for another 7 days!"

Update on new software, quote from Flightradar24 Forum.

"The software is sent to feeders every day. I think we have about 50 feeders running the new software now.
I hope there will be a form on the web page later this week so all "old" feeders can convert their accounts to the new software. If you don't want to wait you can download the new software from
feed.flightradar24.com/updates/fr24feed.exe
You will also need to send an e-mail with your position (lon/lat with 2 decimals) to [e-mail] to get your personal key to activate the software."

For everyone's peace of mind i downloaded the file and scanned it for viruses, both scans where clear. ( Mike / Speedbird)

Latest update for Flightradar24 Feeders.
Quote from Flightradar24 Forum.

"We have fixed some issues in the software, so we recommend all feeders to update to latest version.
Latest version is always available from feed.flightradar24.com/updates/fr24feed.exe
You can also click on the logo in the FR24feed software to get the latest update.
Remember that you have to quit the old version, before running the new version."

This might also be helpful,
"Do not run ModeS.exe AND fr24feed.exe at the same time. This causes all sorts of bad data

As long as you are on Beta8+ radar will now show T-<radarcode> instead of TEST

App can run from any location on hard drive, as long as it is on the same machine providing the port 30003 data. I was told later versions will allow you to specify the data server"

Latest update for Flightradar24 Feeders.
Quote from Flightradar24 Forum.


"A new version of the software is available (BETA 16).
feed.flightradar24.com/

Recent changes:

- Detecting incorrect decimal point symbol for users running adsbScope
- Added TX data loss information
- Fixed mixed IDs bug, please report if it happens again
- Dropping bogus aircraft locally rather than at the server
- Added self-update for optional-updates

This update should be installed by all users running adsbScope, as adsbScope in some cases is using incorrect decimal point symbol, and this version can detect that."
