I’ve added your A400 icon to tar1090, thanks a lot for sharing it!

That work. Thank you 
Quick question about the different aircraft types:
As ADSBX is using tar1090 now, how did they implement the icons?
Example is a C-130 which is shown different there compared to my install:
It’s just a different backend the UI is the same one you can install.
(extra pictures and in the future eventually more pictures and different database information, but right now it’s pretty much the same)
Out of date!

Well, i thought the install from seven days ago is still ok.
Updated it now and the icon changed!
thanks!
On the subject of aircraft type, is there any way I can apply a filter that will just show me aircraft that are defined as ‘heavy’, ie B747, B767, B777, B787, A300, A310, A330, A340, and A350?
You can filter by type description, and just give L, so get all types like L2J, L4J, or just L4, but probably not specific enough, I guess. 
Hello!
I did an update of tar1090 earlier today:
sudo bash -c "$(wget -nv -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiedehopf/tar1090/master/install.sh)"
and tar1090 stopped working. I am not sure what I did wrong.
Here is some of the log info.

What other info can I provide?
EDIT: I did try restarting the tar1090 service and rebooting the RasPi.
dump1090-fa is probably not running.
You can test your SDR or show the log for dump1090-fa:

Never mind… All is working A-OK this morning. I didn’t change anything since my post. I don’t know what happened or changed but all is well. Very weird! I’ll keep on eye on it!
FYI - when I first posted (above) the PiAware SkyAware at http://piaware.local:8080 was working as expected. I saw a hand full of planes and all was good. But tar1090 was without planes.
I had a similar situation the other day. SkyAware was operating normally while tar1090 was “empty” also the message rate was at 0.0
Restarting tar1090 did not help, so i completely rebooted the Raspberry and afterwards it was working again.

Flying high, my friend 
I know, not a problem of tar1090, but still funny to see
Couple of things I’ve noticed today. Firstly, have you updated the symbol for rigs? I’m sure this used to show as a grey aircraft:
Secondly, there’s a big + icon in the top left. I clicked it and it’s magnified everything but I don’t have a - icon to zoom back out again so everything’s a bit huge. I clicked again in case it’s a toggle but it all just got even larger!
Keep clicking .
They cycle round.
4 clicks and you are back to the small icons.
Doh! Thank you, I didn’t want to keep clicking in case it never stopped expanding

I stopped at the third click, reloaded page. I was thinking it is broken.
Hi wiedehopf! thanks for this amazing job!
I want to add some custom js code to the index.html or script.js, but all the ways i try doesn’t work (I think it is related to the compilation maybe?). How should I proceed?
Many thanks!
There is no compilation.
So maybe you cloned from git and are changing code, then running bash install.sh?
You’ll have to run
bash install.sh test
This will install the files from the current location instead of the files from github.
Hello wiedehopf!
I wanted to know if I could
- add silhouettes as in adsbexchange (when selecting a plane, top left)
- add planes to the tar1090 database
- add the positions of my Virtual Radar Basestation.sqb database in the “history” function.
- export the positions registered in tar1090 as database type BaseStation.sqb
not supported. you’d have to figure it out yourself.
It’s using the Mictronics database, so no, not really.
That’s most definitely impossible.
Or rather you’d have to program it yourself.
