Hi There,

I recently started dumping VDL2 traffic to local files to learn more about the content and which i realized has a lot of information in multiple formats ( telemetry, positioning, weather report … )

Is there any project anyone started to combine the received information with the ADS-B data we are receiving, at least for position as sometimes i see positioning report coming from certain aircraft but not showing up on my ADS-B map.

–  
Regards,  
Antoine

thank you @retman1222 for your reply. i’m actually decoding VDL2 data and storing them in flat files for the time being.

What I was wondering about is, if someone has enhanced current FA / Skyview webserver to include VDL data with ADSB data received.

Hello! I am completely new to this forum. Reading through this older thread from 2019, I’m really fascinated by the discussion on combining ADS-B and VDL2 data.

I was wondering how things have evolved since then. What are the current standard methods or tools used today to integrate and map these different data streams? I would greatly appreciate any insights or advice from everyone’s experience!
