map side-bar menu: 'Display flight remaining route on click' and 'Display flight route on click' not deselectable

[TomMuc1]

in addition i think the basestation hardware has no relevance today so why use their protocol. opposite to that the jetvision beast and radarcape are still the top of the line receivers ...

[Ysurac]

because it's the only TCP not binary format widely available.

[TomMuc1]

yeeeeeahhh - and i know you do not like 'my' .json format too :)))

[Ysurac]

I added in the doc what I use to get MLAT info using TCP: https://github.com/Ysurac/FlightAirMap/wiki/ADS-B

I will add MLAT for dump1090.json asap.

[TomMuc1]

no no - you have to take a rest over the weekend! to be fresh and in good mood - when i'll come around the corner with my next silly idea for improvement :)

[Ysurac]

MLAT for aircraft.json added in latest commit. Should work.

[TomMuc1]

update done - but how/where can i see on map whether plane is mlat or not?

[Ysurac]

When clicking on aircraft this should display MLAT as source name. If not I will have to make some test ;)

[TomMuc1]

easy possible that i just overlook this - where exactly mlat should be displayed?

[Ysurac]

When you click, under SOURCE. But I don't have any mlat in my aircraft.json for now, so I can't test.

[TomMuc1]

to send you a screenshot what email i have to use?

[Ysurac]

support@flightairmap.com

Do you have anything in aircraft.json in "mlat":, I always have [], strange. Will look at this another day.

[TomMuc1]

you have mail :)

[Ysurac]

You can also put screenshot directly here.

There is no MLAT info in the screenshot. It should display at down right of flight info if it's MLAT (else nothing).

[daviessm]

Can confirm MLAT works here using the instructions above (feed from piaware on port 30106).

FlyBe planes don't broadcast ADS-B so are only detected through MLAT.

[TomMuc1]

what is your source 30003 or .json

[daviessm]

See my edit - port 30106 TCP connection to piaware.

[TomMuc1]

so - maybe this is the reason i do not see mlat announced in the box - my input is aircraft.json

[Ysurac]

TCP is always better :) For aircraft.json this should work if there is data in mlat field. I have none for unknown reason.

[TomMuc1]

hahahaha :)))

nope - there is never real data in field mlat see here:

aircraft without mlat:

,"mlat":[]

aircraft with mlat:

"mlat":["lat","lon","track","speed","vert_rate"]

[TomMuc1]

i sent you a zipped aircraft.json that has mlat aircrafts inside. so you could see what your code for json has to check for ...

[Ysurac]

I know... I tested with a aircraft.json feed with working MLAT and it's working .

[TomMuc1]

hmmm - so then i'm the problem here :) i have to look into that ...

[Ysurac]

Did you restart spotter-daemon.php ?

[TomMuc1]

nope just lighttpd :(

[TomMuc1]

sorry for wasting your time! my fault i forgot to restart the spotter service. now works instantly fine and i see always my source json and if mlat it says json_mlat :) thanx a lot again :)

[Ysurac]

No problem. Now I'm out for the week end ;)

[TomMuc1]

have a nice weekend! you deserved this :)

greetings from bavaria/germany tom

[TomMuc1]

nice - the guys from flightaware forum start more and more to run your application. in addition i sent the owner/developer of beast/radarcape/jetvision some infos about the app ...

[TomMuc1]

3d - at least after last commit/pull doesn't work anymore - safari/firefox/chrome on osx:

Error constructing CesiumWidget. Visit http://get.webgl.org to verify that your web browser and hardware support WebGL. Consider trying a different web browser or updating your video drivers. Detailed error information is below:

RuntimeError: The browser supports WebGL, but initialization failed. Error at new t (https://cesiumjs.org/releases/1.37/Build/Cesium/Cesium.js:486:4061) at new N (https://cesiumjs.org/releases/1.37/Build/Cesium/Cesium.js:535:8529) at new Ee (https://cesiumjs.org/releases/1.37/Build/Cesium/Cesium.js:552:13327) at new A (https://cesiumjs.org/releases/1.37/Build/Cesium/Cesium.js:565:25179) at new Z (https://cesiumjs.org/releases/1.37/Build/Cesium/Cesium.js:568:25781) at http://192.168.143.10/flightairmap/js/map.3d.js.php:281:14

[Ysurac]

Working for me. What do you have on line 281 of map.3d.js when you have that error ?

[TomMuc1]

ooops - thought you were out for the weekend:

var viewer = new Cesium.Viewer('live-map', { sceneMode : Cesium.SceneMode.SCENE3D, baseLayerPicker: false, imageryProvider : imProv,

[Ysurac]

Strange... What type of map are you using ?

[TomMuc1]

openstreetmap or yandex - but you were right has nothing to do with latest commit. had this error never before ...

[TomMuc1]

i'm not sure if i ever tried 3d mode on lighttpd before - my earlier installs based on apache never showed this behavior. no idea whether this can correlate with lighttpd ...

[Ysurac]

It's not a problem with lighttpd, it's working for me. Can you try https://cesiumjs.org/ click on Tap to interact and tell me if you can play with the world.

[TomMuc1]

yup - works instantly. but cmon today is sunday i do not want to disturb your evening. tomorrow i install apache again and see what happens - and try my other notebook. i'll guess i made a mistake with the new setup. this were all steps i made:

sudo apt-get install php7.0-common php7.0-cgi php7.0-mysql php7.0-sqlite php7.0-curl php7.0 php7.0-xml php7.0-zip php7.0-gd php7.0-json

[TomMuc1]

hahaha - even stranger - works instantly on my new macbook pro i7 4gb graphic ram. but all the days it was working on my old mac book pro too. i changed nothing there - and was using over the last days when i startted with flightairmap only this old notebook ...

[Ysurac]

Strange. If you have the problem on all browsers on the old macbook it's not a cookie or session problem. With the new macbook you access the same server as the old one ?

[TomMuc1]

yes and yes :)

[TomMuc1]

restarted the old mac-book pro now it is again working :) i have one suspicion - all these high end level pro mac books have two graphic engines builtin. an intel within chipset and a second dedicated one. dependend on generation they switch in different ways between them. i think that for what ever reason something went there wrong. but what makes me wonder why did the link you sent me work without problem and google earth pro too???

[TomMuc1]

GEOID HEIGHT CALCULATOR all my installs show still this error-message: Exception: Can't open /var/www/html/flightairmap/require/../data/egm96-15.pgm in /var/www/html/flightairmap/require/class.GeoidHeight.php:47 Stack trace: #0 /var/www/html/flightairmap/tools-geoid.php(6): GeoidHeight->__construct() #1 {main}

[Ysurac]

Did you run scripts/update_db.php ?

[TomMuc1]

yep runs every night via cron

[TomMuc1]

i'll try a run from terminal as sudo - see what happens then ... seems to be the problem - the cronjob has to run user root

[TomMuc1]

when i try to run sudo /usr/bin/php /var/www/html/flightairmap/scripts/update_db.php it says: Script is already runnning... despite i removed from cron and restarted ... does spotter-daemon.php already call update_db.php? found at least no direct calls in spotter-daemon source for update_db.php ...

[Ysurac]

It's on your mac ? I think it's the check that doesn't work on mac. I check if the script is in the ps ux output more than 1 time. If it's the case I will make this check only on Linux.

[TomMuc1]

no - it runs on a pi3 with raspian stretch (see above install) only the mysql with flightairmap database runs on the mac-mini server

[Ysurac]

I found the problem: sudo put the info 2 times in ps ux. I will try to fix that...
