anyone give me some advice on how to interface plane plotter with google earth ?

 

read the instructions but im lost !

 

 

[Guest Glenn]

I thought there was an option to select google earth but I can't find it

 

 

[Robbo]

there is under options>i/o

 

but still not working

Sometimes you get planes doing funny things like this. Quite often it's caused from the plane itself.

 

As far as Google is concerned, in your I/O settings tick the Google Earth Server box. To do this you have to make sure you see no planes, so stop the thingy...click the black square on the tool bar. Once that is done, start (green circle). Then go to the Start menu, Planeplotter and click Google Aircraft.

 

Try that Mr Roooobbbbbbbbbbbooo :P

 

 

[Robbo]

works !!!

 

P.S where can i get maps for the us and all of australia ? I have some aus maps but need more :(

 

 

[Guest Chainsaw]

Try this sir...

Also join the Yahoo support group. There is some great stuff there, especially Curt's FindFlight for PP. It look up each plane and gives you the route etc. Its then kept on a local file on your PC...brilliant!

Thats where I got my maps from

 

 

[Robbo]

Doh !

[Guest Glenn]

You got your maps from me

 

 

[Robbo]

You got your maps from me

nar mate.. the zip file was corrupted

 

 

[Guest Glenn]

That's me, always corrupting something :mrgreen:

 

 

[Robbo]

everyone knows that !!!!

 

 

[Robbo]

Lost interest in plane plotter so just uninstalled it :mrgreen:

 

I confuse myself #-o

 

 

[Guest Chainsaw]

After all that? Oh Robbo mate #-o

 

Plane Plotter is so wonderful. Some patience in the setup and learning its functions is worthwhile.

 

As far as maps are concerned, you can create any you want and calibrate them for accuracy. The maps can be ATC type or Satellite type showing the topography. The instructions are in the help and a tutorial is in the Yahoo group files.

 

Jack, Nick and all, you should look into this Plane Plotter thingy. It picks up ADS-B signals from planes.

 

 

[Robbo]

I prefer to fix and fly them :mrgreen:

 

Instead of watching little lines on the screen :mrgreen:

 

 

[Robbo]

I think I want plane plotter again, im having withdrawls :mrgreen:

 

 

[Guest Glenn]

You need something, but it's not PlanePlotter :roll:

 

 

[Robbo]

Damn !

 

she is overseas :cry:

 

 

[Robbo]

can plane plotter decode acars?

 

If i hook the scanner in how can i get it to decode acars?

 

 

[Robbo]

Hmmm I see ACARS but not sure how to decode it :(

 

 

[Robbo]

Dazza you would know this :p

 

 

[Uncle Chop Chop]

I still don't know how to use it. I would love to be able to see the flight going into and out of Melbourne but I just can't get my head around it. I know a bloke who might be able to set up an ACARS for Melbourne International Airport.

 

 

[Robbo]

There is already one setup for YMML

 

 

[Guest Darren Masters]

The best program for decoding ACARS is ACARSD. If you run ACARS through Plane Plotter when there is a valid position report received you will see your aircraft 'plot' on the map. As Robbo said someone is already feeding ADS-B and ACARS from YMML. Can you not see any traffic at all Chop? You should be able to see traffic going in and out of YMML via Plane Plotter. Have you paid for and registered it? You will need to configure it correctly in order for it to work too mate.
