DUMPVDL2 and ACARSDECO2 on the same PI3

Wiedehoph,
You did a great job of pointing out what I needed to do. As for me my knowledge is mechanical-technicial and in my part of the real life aviation world, Linux does not exist. This we do is a great hobby and I am thankful for everyone who helps out.

Acarsdeco2 is running under services but DUMPVDL2 doesn’t because I assume the program has to be run directivity from the command window with visual output.

Can you check
journalctl -u dumpvdl

Also maybe add
--output-file /dev/null
to the dumpvdl commandline.
That way it won’t show results on the normal output and only give them to planeplotter.

Note that you need a separate .service file for each service.
Also both need to be enabled with systemctl enable or they won’t start automatically.
