I’m pleased to announce the launch of the redesigned ADS-B statistics pages on flightaware.com. This includes both the global ADS-B statistics and the “My ADS-B” stats page.

Nice looking page but I’m reporting a possible bug report within it.
Configuration Settings:
Auto-update PiAware software - Constantly defaults to “Allow”. You try to enable “Prevent” but on reloading the page, it is back to “Allow” again.
I do not want Automatic updating allowed. I wish to update my Pi as and when I wish.
I can’t say that I am overly happy with the new design of the stat page nor with the skyview page. Having in mind the users these days on laptops and other mobile devices, I feel that the screen space has been taking over by unnecessary stuff. It is good to invent new ideas and express them but in these cases I certainly feel we went backwards a few steps. I am sorry…
Could be that it is the highest for all sites of a single user?
For a time, I have been running two receivers side by side, so I could see how changes to the set up worked, practically doubling the number of a/c seen when added up.
Usually, I have been around 950, with 797 been the highest value with one receiver, in the stats page, however, it says:
Highest 30 Day Ranking: 536
Edit: Apart from that, its a pretty big change, wouldn’t be suprised if quite a few people will need some time to get used to it.
there is some issue with the formating of the HOURLY RECEIVED REPORTS and when you move the mouse over the last entry of the Night. Aircraft numbers are truncated.
I love the refresh but I spotted a bug. If you click the Configure gear on the page and click into the dropdown of commands to send the PiAware, you can then close the “Configure” window and the drop down just hangs out on the screen floating around as I scroll. Tested in Chrome. So to reproduce:
Click Gear. 2. Click on the Device Commands drop down. Dont select anything or click away from the dropdown. 3. Click the X to close the configure window. 4. Observe floaty menu!
Two child windows are labeled “Aircraft Reported.” Perhaps these could be more descriptive and made unique.
In the second “Aircraft Reported” window. The date labels seem to be off by 1. Now 20:40 hours in EDT on 2 May, I am shown with 195 Aircraft. This should be the count for UTC 3 May. The same error is evident in the cursor-following pop-up in the other “Aircraft Reported” window.
EDIT: It appears that the date off-by-one error occurs in many windows. See newly added image.
Thanks for making the map smaller and to one side. I would have preferred a window that could be reduced to a single line like the others but it is better now.
Going against the grain here and totally do NOT like anything about the new format and layout.
I usually check in on a mobile device such as my phone and this used to be simple process with the old layout. Now theres no option to see a whole table, graph or chart without some kind of scrolling if that is even possible.
