Installed dump1090-muta v1.15~dev; VRS not showing MLAT pos

Today I installed dump1090-muta v1.15~dev and noticed that the MLAT positions aren’t showing in VRS anymore. This is v2.2.0.551 of VRS, which is supposed to be MLAT aware. I looked in options and don’t see anything about enabling MLAT. Should be automatic, shouldn’t it? Right now it’s showing 101 aircraft, but only tracking 29. When I was running dump1090-muta v1.14 the MLAT aircraft were showing up in VRS. The receiver is set for AVR or Beast Raw Feed and port 30005, same as before. Any ideas?

By the way, the dump1090 web feed looks very nice and it is showing the MLAT positions.

Was about to mention that post. Instructions worked to a tee with my dump1090-mutability v1.5~dev installation.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction and thank YOU mgunther for the help!

Yup! Perfect instructions. Next step is to back up my VRS server so I don’t have to relearn it all again some other time!! :smiley:
