Hi, I'm writing from Italy, I have a FlightStick, the Airnav radarbox software says "hardware not connected" but I have no driver problems, the stick, if I open the RTL10190 software, perfectly receives the aircraft in flight. is it a software setting problem? Thanks for the help!

Using the V6.0.03 software, connect via your home network, set up the network connection using File/Preference on one of the tabs in their with you network credentials. I cannot remember which tab as I use V6.01.01 in Windows

Hi Alan, thanks for the reply, but I didn't understand the talk about the LAN network, my flightstick is connected directly to the PC via USB and I'm using Air Nav Radarbox 6.02.003. Should I use another version or is this okay? however the driver works but the software does not see the usb key :-(

Ah sorry I thought you were on a Raspberry Pi when you mentioned RTL1090. Did you install the flightstick drivers https://www.airnavsystems.com/Download/ANRB/Drivers/microRadarbox-Drivers-20150411.exe
If you have and its still not connecting use Zadig drivers https://zadig.akeo.ie/
V6.3 is designed for use with the xrange receiver, you would be better with v6.02 as a few new bugs were introduced with it https://www.airnavsystems.com/download/ANRB/ANRB60002Setup.exe

Hi
I have the exact same problem.
I can see data in the RTL10190 software.
In Airnav software : "hardware not connected".
Im using version 6.02.
How did you solve the problem please ?
Thanks
Chris

I presume by installing the flightstick divers either the Airnav ones or the Zadig ones. Have you installed the drivers?
Alan
-
Hi
Yes, i first installed the airnav drivers, then the zadig ones.
uninstalled airnav software, reinstalled.
Thanks.
Chris

Do you see it in devices and printers under unspecified? How are its properties?
Try unplugging the stick and plugging it back in, also try another USB port
Alan

Its working now
uninstalled the driver, reinstalled zadig driver.
Thnak you !

Great, good news

Hi,
I am having the same problem that RadarBox v6.02.003 does not connect to my USB flightstick.
It does connect to dump1090 and I can see the filght around my antenna on VirtualRadar v2.4.4 problrm free ...
What am I doing wrong ?
I have also a RTL-SDR dongle running for another use. is there a Serial # conflict ?
Thanks for any help
regards Rainer

I have a conflict between my RTL-SDR dongle and the RadarBox Flightstick
How can I define which dongle uses RadarBox v6.2.003 ?
Thanks Rainer

You will need to change the serial number of the sticks to avoid conflicts, see this thread https://forum.radarbox24.com/index.php?topic=105891.0

Hi Alan,
That I already did and my DUMP1090 has serial number #00000001 and the AirNav RadarBox flight stick is serial number #00000002 and it does not work ...
Will try to serialize the RadarBox stick with 0000001 and my RTL-SDR with 00000002 and see what happens
I have the light suspicion that RadarBox software only takes the first which comes up with device 0 ...
In the AirSpy software when one goes into setting one sees the dongles numbered 0,1,2, etc which has nothing to do with the serial number ...
Will let you know what happens ...

I presume that you have tried the V6 software with only the one stick inserted to make sure that it is working
Alan

Hi,
Exactly as I suspected RadarBox software v6.02.003 is set up un that way that it only look for Device 0 (zero) which means it only take the Dongle which has the lowest serial number ...
I think this is very narrow sighted from the developers of this software. My second dongle has now serial number #00000002 which is monitoring Meteors and the RadarBox Flight stick has serial number #00000001 which means, as I mentioned before is in the Dignle list Device 0 ...
I hope this helps other people which have the same problem to solve it ...
Rainer
PS I have to say the RadarBox program runs quite slow ... I have a internet cnnection with 100mbps download and 50mbps upload ...

Hi Alan,
Sure and it worked and so I mentioned that I had the light suspicion that the Software only accepts dongles with the lowest serial number ...

The software is very old 2008/2009 with limited development since then and was designed for use with the original radarbox. The last major development was around 2013 with the introduction of the databse updater being the main change. USB sticks were not very common when the software was introduced and the version you are using was amended to allow use with the xrange receivers following requests for their users
With regards to the speed I presume that you have network flight in use, to speed thing up untick the, Get Flights from the Radarbox Network, bottom left when you have the Network tab open. That way you will only see the aircraft you are picking up. Downloading data from 10,000 or so flights every 20 seconds is very intensive work

Hi Alan,
I have a green light on Hardware connected and a green light on Real Time Network ...
Do you mean Real Time network ? and how do I disconnect that ?
My dongle at the moment receives maximum 25 flights around me at best conditions ...
I also monitor using Flightradar24 and there the upgrade is nearly instantly :-)
Rainer

4th line down click on the Network tab. When the window opens up bottom left (Untick Get flights From Radarbox Network. The flight you are picking up are shown on the My Flights tab/Window
Although the software is old it is very versatile and can do most anything you want it to
Also there is a big difference between the software and a web based tracker such as FR24 and RB24, you will be feeding it as well through V6. The software updates every 20 seconds
Where are you located to see if I can find you?
Alan

Hi Alan,
Sorry to be a bit dense myself but do not understand ...
Where is the Network tab ?
Maybe a screenshot helps faster ?
Thanks

See attached

Hi Alan,
Thanks. Got it.
Now only my detected flights show up and how can I now have the callsign etc. shown on the map for my flights ?
Thanks for your patience
-
Oh, I just saw that only at a certain zoom level the data appears on the Map too
Problem solved

No worries, we all have to learn. Any queries just ask

--device <index|serial> select device by index or serial number
Index is determined by USB slot in which the dongle is inserted. It is always a digit and can have values 0,1,2,3,4,....
Serial is the value saved by manufacturer or user in eeprom of the dongle and can be
- all digits
- all alphabets
- a combination of digits & alphabets
Serial can have from 1 to max 8 alpha numric characters like below
