Filter

[FACTflights]

In our area we have several ground stations that are transmitting.  I filter them out by using the following filter:  REGTISTRATION <> GND.  Which translates to: REGISTRATION not-equal-to GND. This works very well, but we also have some with a registration VARIOUS.  I would like to filter them out as well.  This would then require a filter that goes something like this:

REGISTRATION <> GND or VARIOUS

Any suggestions ?

I am not sure this is possible John, I have played around with layered filters and it seems you are limited to either one or the other I believe...

Could be wrong, hopefully someone else will chime in..

I have also often wondered if it were possible to have multiple options ( eg. mode-s = AE* and 43C* ) as a quick filter,  but it looks like it is just one or the other as said.

[FACTflights]

Yes, I think it would be quite handy to have a set of logical functions
(AND; OR; NAND; NOR) built into the filters. 

Maybe AirNave can look at it as a possible future version.

I will certainly suggest they have a look at it.

I've been after a similar mechanism for alerts for years, but nothing happens...

Hi Rod,

It works ok for me in alerts.  Just tried alerting on mode-s for 4CA* and 40* and got over 50 hits right away.

Maybe I am not getting what you are meaning, would you care to explain.

I do hope Airnav keep the updates coming now, as these sort of features would be great, and I know I am not a wizz on the technical side, but I wouldn't think it would be a massive job to achieve this.

Oliver,

Can you confirm that like John, are you looking to filter out and not show more than one query i.e not show anything with a hex code beginning with AE* and 43C* as in your example.

Alan

Hi Alan, no the opposite, I just want to see anything starting with 43C and AE, in other words RAF or USAF mode-s codes in my flights,

thanks.

[Runway 31]

OK got that Oliver, thanks

So some want to filter everything else out and some want to filter everything else in.

I will pass these suggestions on to Airnav for their consideration for a future update

Cheers Alan, the advanced filters on the map is the sort of thing I mean, e.g B74*, A38* , just shows those types as you know, it is very similar to that really,

thanks again.

If only it were so easy Oliver.

Hi Alan - what I mean is a combination of filters for alerts, so that I could get a "ting" when a BA B788 is within 50 miles of EGCC, or a "whoop whoop" when any aircraft is below 10,000ft within 1 mile of me, or a "warble" and an email when flight AAL54 that is not a B763 is anywhere.

That sort of combination of rules and different actions would be very useful.

I have gone on at length about this over the years on the Forum and in correspondence with Dev, but, as I say, nothing has happened.

[Runway 31]

OK understand that.  Its sounds and actions that you want to be changeable for an alert not the actual filters themselves.
