Tar1090 -- improved webinterface for dump1090-fa and readsb

Sounds good. Just wanted you to know.

Hi Wiedehopf,

I tried to replicate the radolan layer for the UK metoffice equivalent called DataPoint.
Documentation is here
All I managed to do is to get a single tile to be overlayed on all baselayer tiles :frowning:


Any ideas? or could you have a look at implementing?
The API requires a key, which I am happy to provide via PM or you register for free with the metoffice.

Thanks a lot.
Dennis

maybe this google result helps you:
javascript - OpenLayers3 access to UK weather server - Stack Overflow

I’m not really keen on spending time on this, sorry!
Project is open source for a reason :wink:

I see adsbexchange has started beta testing of tar1090. looks pretty good

Has a unique “history” for +/- 1 day in the flight information popup of track trails

No worries. Thanks for pointing out the link I’ll have a look.

Subliminal load messages now… “Improve Coverage: adsbexchange. com

That should only show in globe-index mode.
I’ll check to make it depend on another configuration variable :wink:

Oh i get it now.

Sorry, i hide it in javascript, so it shows on first load.
I suppose i should make it hidden in html an only show it in javascript.

When I start the webpage for the tar1090 for a split second I see in the top-right corner “adsbexchange”. Then it gets quickly covered by the normal window.
I don’t have an adsbexchange account.

So… what’s that?

@wiedehopf - Would you consider adding a Filter by Source option to the filters section ?

Thx

I see the same once reloading the page with CTRL-F5
It says “Increase coverage” followed by the link to adsbx.

It’s the same view as the beta version on adsbx:

The message is visible as long as the page is loading with the progress bar and then removed once it’s fully loaded. Unfortunately too fast for getting a screenshot

It happens on both devices i am using, on both is script 200219 installed

If I may be so bold as to request a feature some may find useful. Inclusion of total number of aircraft tracked in the browser title bar (for example, “Tar1090 (53)”). That would be much appreciated as I have no programming skills myself!

GitHub - wiedehopf/tar1090: Provides an improved webinterface for use with ADS-B decoders readsb / dump1090-fa

// -- Title Settings --------------------------------------
// Show number of aircraft and/or messages per second in the page title
//PlaneCountInTitle = false;                                                                                                           
//MessageRateInTitle = false;

Excellent, thank you. One question about default map type. I prefer the “OSM by ADSBx” map because it includes many small airports, but don’t see a code for that in the config file, just the regular OSM map. Do you have the code for that?

MapType_tar1090 = "osm_adsbx";

The top most OSM map should be identical though.

It is identical until you zoom in fairly close when labels for small airports pop up that are not present on the top most map.

The look quite different to me, the land is a slightly different colour and the top one has some green areas in the land as well. I prefer the osm_adsbx map.

I’ve tried to Enable FA links but can only find one reference to it in the config.js file which I’ve set to ‘true’, however, it hasn’t worked even after refreshing the browser.

Am I missing something because the reference I find to FA links is different from that shown in the GitHub page for Tar1090

Thanks

You may need to restart lighttpd.

Thanks, I’ve tried this but still not working
