Then you did it wrong.
Why don’t you show what you did exactly?
Me too for exactly the same reason.
This should not be required. What you need to restart is the tar1090 service. That was the way i made it for me because i also prefer having the numbers visible in the tab title
In addition it’s required to fully reload the browser (CTRL+F5). This might solve it even without restarting tar1090
Had the same problem, some changes in config.js will not work.
So I tried to make the changes in default123435xxxx.js
It works … for me.
You don’t need to restart anything after changing config.js
A Ctrl-F5 might be required, but i don’t think it should be.
What is required:
Removing the // for the options you want to change.
That // means the line is commented out.
That will be overwritten when you update.
And change the value from “false” to “true”
I’ve done that to enable the FA links but it hasn’t worked.
Thanks
You’re still not copy pasting the line you changed.
You aren’t specifying which file you changed exactly.
“It doesn’t work”, how do you expect anyone to help you with that?
You need to specify what EXACTLY you did.
Otherwise no one will be able to determine what went wrong.
As I put in my message yesterday, I changed a line in the config.js file as follows:
flightawareLinks = true;
I’ve also tried inputting some of the code from the section of the GitHub page for Tar1090 which relates to enabling FA links without success
How do I know it’s not working? …after refreshing my display with Ctrl-F5 I still don’t see the FA links i.e. the Ident numbers underlined, which is what I used to have before doing a rebuild
Thanks
So which file did you edit?
Which URL are you visiting?
You need to specify the complete path for both.
Have you checked that you actually saved the file?
Did you install multiple instances?
The configuration change works just fine, so i really don’t know what you are doing wrong, but you’re very very likely doing something wrong.
You can also try deleting the file and doing it again, maybe you broke something
GitHub - wiedehopf/tar1090: Provides an improved webinterface for use with ADS-B decoders readsb / dump1090-fa
Fresh install and it works perfectly:
I’ve reinstalled Tar1090 and changed the line in the config.js file to: flightawareLinks = true; and removed the // in front of the line using sudo nano /usr/local/share/tar1090/html/config.js and it’s working now.
I thought I’d done exactly the same last night without success. Anyway it’s all fine now
Many thanks for your guidance
So much information in the details of an aircraft.
Is there a explanation regarding the FMS SEL data and where it comes from?
Not yet clear to me. I see the balloon tooltip but wondering what te selected altitude in flight management system means.
I’m no expert but was looking that up the other day. From what I gathered it was a way for air traffic control to confirm the pilot had actually instructed the plane to fly at the agreed altitude. Any deviation from the agreed altitude and the set altitude would automatically alert air traffic control.
The page I gleaned that from was https://www.skybrary.aero/index.php/Use_of_Selected_Altitude_by_ATC

Probably not widely implemented yet …
Not sure though.

ATC instructs: Climb level 70 (7000 ft with altimeter set to standard pressure).
Pilots then set the altitude in the flight director / autopilot system.

The helicopter i have taken the screenshot from was flying the whole route at 2.500 meter altitude. Not sure if it would be even capable achiving that altitude (>9000 meter)
So?
Spurious data doesn’t change what a system was designed to do.
Hard to tell what is going on with your particular thing there.
It’s just whatever the aircraft reports, which is typically whatever’s entered into the avionics. Notably, the reported data may not be being used to control the aircraft. There is a separate set of status bits which tell you something about autopilot control status, but the details tend to vary a lot depending on the exact aircraft and avionics installed.
Also, this data can be transmitted either via ADS-B, or in less reliable Comm-B messages in response to SSR interrogations. Sometimes for an aircraft that’s not reporting this data at all you’ll get a misinterpreted Comm-B message that will populate these fields with bogus data, and because there’s no regular “real” transmission to contradict it the bad data can stick for a while.

What’s your problem with my question?
I was simply curious what the data mean which are shown on the web interface of tar1090.
If you have a problem with that, simply ignore it.
I don’t think intent comes through on message boards. I didn’t read his message as having any negative attributes, but upon seeing your response, reread and can see how you might think it looks that way – but it just as easily could be just a simple acknowledgement of ignorance given the way the data works. We gain nothing by assuming the worst of others.

It’s not completely unjustified, i was being a bit of an ass and annoyed about the non-acknowledgement of the answer he was replying to.
To me his post sounded almost like he was questioning the explanation of the system.
There was incomplete data in the screenshot and no question asked in the follow up post.
So i answered the implied question in the manner of the post i was replying to.
Anyhow, now that everyone has pointed out how rude everyone else is we can go back to the aircraft
