Airnav Radarbox utilities website

[Allocator]

OK Tom, are you offering this, or asking somebody to produce one?

If it's available, then I'll put it on the website - but I'm not clever enough to produce it myself :-)

[tarbat]

Here's one for starters. A script that will record all the information that RB gathers, which will run until 23:59 each day and write to a .csv file.

Already exist - sort of!!!  Use the recording option in Radarbox to create a recorder file which is saved in CSV format.

Or use sbssim to record all port 30003 output to a file, which gets saved in CSV format.  sbssim available from http://jetvision.de/sbs/sbssim.zip

On the links page, it may be also good to link GAS, airframes, airlinersnet and the mode S yahoo group.

Cheers
I will be a regular visitor

Allocator,

No, I am not offering one, my programming days are way past, but I was thinking one of our valiant young programmers like Tarbat could produce a script like PPReporter.vbs. I've appended a sample extract from the 24 hr file of some 300,000 lines produced from PlanePlotter.

Tom, it's a long time since I was last called "young"!!!  Doesn't the Radarbox recorder file give you all you need already?

[viking9]

Tarbat,

No it doesn't. Just compare the output and you will see why.

[tarbat]

So tell me what extra you need - I'm not very good at guesswork.  The fact is, the only data that Airnav make available is the recorder file and ports 7879/30003. If there's anything else you need, then ask Airnav, not me.

Attached is file saved from sbssim.

Tarbat,

My apologies, I didn't scroll up far enough so I missed your previous message about sbssim further up. Duh! That looks like useful output so I'll try that.

Many thanks,

Tom

I've finished updating the Utilities Website for this evening - time to do something else now!

It's a bit difficult to acknowledge all the work that different people have done on the logos and outlines etc, so, I've got a fairly general credit on the download page.  If you would like your forum name included to a "contributors" list, just let me know.  I don't want to upset anybody.

Talking about upsetting people, did you see what happened on the Kinetic forum when I said on this forum that the AirNav lot were a much nicer bunch ........... sort of proves my point really - lol

Oh, almost forgot - somebody was kind enough to suggest some links for the Utilities site, but I picked up that email on another PC and I've forgotten who it was and what the links were .........

Allocator, see my reply 47 above which suggested some

[Allocator]

Ah!  Got it, thanks - that's why I couldn't find your email :-0

Good suggestion, I'll include those later.

A small comment on the RB Keyboard Shortcuts file. On my ANRB 2009 the F5 key does not zoom the map to max. It actually zooms out a step at a time.

Hmmm... Not sure what AirNav means by Zoom Max - I just got it from the Map menu in RB - go to Zoom and there it is.

For me, F5 just seems to set one particular zoom level, no matter what you were on before.
