G'day All,
A fix has been found to get the plane feeds up and running again in AirScout - big thanks goes to Tim, VK2XAX.
It's pretty straight forward to do, just follow these steps.
1. Make sure you're running the latest version of AirScout - currently that's v1.4.2.0. This fix will not work on older versions!!
2. Once you're on v1.4.2.0, go to 'Options' then the 'Planes' tab.
3. Select VRS Web Server for your 'Planes Feed 1'. Set Plane Feeds 2 and 3 to 'None'
4. Double click on the current 'localhost' URL line and delete it/replace it with the following URL
http://aussieadsb.com/VirtualRadar/Aircr...lng=%MYLON%
If that URL doesn't work, then try this one -
http://aussieadsb.com/VirtualRadar/AircraftList.json?
5. Click on the red X top right hand corner, then 'ok' on the options box. All going well you should get planes appear. Remember, if the first URL doesn't work, use the second one.
6. Make some contacts
If you have a ADS-B receiver, consider sending a data feed to aussieadsb.com. Details on how to contribute are detailed here http://aussieadsb.com/contribute
There's been some reports that on opening AirScout, an error 400 is received. I've found that if you go into the plane feeds 1 line, simply copy/paste the same URL back into the address field and save that it gets it working again. No idea why, but it's worked for me!
