Yes - same issue with the accidental debug code that was left behind. the new version I've just released fixes that. There's also some other improvements and changes, as always 😉

Version 2020.08.12.11 has been published. Your application should ask you whether you want to upgrade when you start it again, if not the latest version as always is available at https://psxt.flightsimtechnologies.com/ADSBSetup.zip

I found the issue with this - this was debug code accidentally left in a release version. I am fixing it now and will be releasing a new version shortly.

Strange... Console program shows that it is connected to PSXT and running normally. The error window you posted, directly states the crash is related to the WinForm, and not console. There has been one or two changes made - I will try to push a new version out tonight still (within the next few hours). It may be one of the bugs that I've fixed that you could be hitting.

Please reinstall the latest version, and make sure that the application has permissions to write to the %APPDATA%\Flight Sim Technologies folder. The application stores it's configuration files there, and up to 200MB of map tile cache. According to that error, it has insufficient permissions to create the necessary folders.

Don't run both the console, as well as the winform. PSXT only allows for one data provider to connect to it.

i.e. it doesn't start up? starts, and closes? starts but does not connect to psxt? If it doesn't start at all, please check for errors in the windows event log.

It's coming, soon (tm)

If a weather program is used, then the weather program can be time shifted as well to match the weather... METARs will always be current unfortunately. Either way, timeshifting is still on the todo list, as is the configuration menu. Can (and more than likely will) add settings to enable/disable various aspects of the program. The only real difference is that I don't necessarily take the QNH at the closest Airport (METAR), but I take the actual pressure reading at the user's aircraft.

ADS-B Live Traffic version 2020.06.16 Build 9 has been released. As always, it is available at https://psxt.flightsimtechnologies.com/ADSBSetup.zip Change log: 2020.06.16.9 (2020-06-16) Settings now saved in INI file %APDATA%\Flight Sim Technologies\ADSB. IP or Hostname as parameter is still accepted as command line parameters on console application. Connects to Simulator via FSUIPC for accurate pressure readings only if FSUIPC/WideFS connection is available (this is optional but gives better accuracy). You'll notice the pressure change between the METAR received and actual QNH setting User Aircraft is detected via FSUIPC as well so that the correct aircraft icon for the user aircraft can be used on the maps. Redone automatic updater to automatically update application to the latest versions - previous release had problems with automatic updates. WinForm application launched with basic interface (expect more changes in the coming days). Settings screen, Radar screen, and time shifting still to be done. Installer package integrated into solution Installer package now enables TLS1.2 by default on Windows 7 machines Exception clean-ups and better error handling What started more than a year ago as a few lines of code just thrown together to see whether I can personally use an alternative to RealTraffic, has now turned into a fully fledged application, consisting of more than 17,000 lines of code! I have a few things still to implement, but I am confident that we will have a mature and stable application within the next few months that will stand the test of time going forward. Thanks for all the users, and continued support! It is appreciated. More than 1.4 million HTTPS requests has been served by our servers, providing data to users over the last 30 days!

I need to look at this in a bit more detail, especially in terms of how to implement this in a "console" application, but I can confirm we will be able to do time shifting for a period of 7 days as well. I am toying with the idea to change the basic data feeder to a Windows Service (always running in the background, the overhead is minimal), and then perhaps doing a WinForm for settings (settings has already been migrated to ini files in current beta builds), time shifting, and perhaps a little radar screen. it's all possible, just need to -do- it 🙂 -- Chris.

New version published. If you have previously downloaded the ZIP file with the executable, please delete and download the proper installer (URL is the same, alternatively use https://psxt.flightsimtechnologies.com/ADSBSetup.zip). Installation is a few clicks and you are done. Change Log for version 2020.05.19.6 (Build 6, Released 2020/05/19) Increased ADS-B Position Receiver timeout (ADS-B incorrectly timed out the connection to PSXT when no data was received for more than 2 seconds) Simplified initial connection to PSXT not to cause confusement to users (now clearly states when it is unable or waiting on PSXT to connect) Implemented automatic software updates on launch (you'll always run the most up-to-date version automatically) Created base installer package -- Chris

Didn't know that! 😃 Let's see if we can take the competition on!

Hi Michael, Can definitely change some stuff to handle the initial connection to PSXT better - will work on it today / tomorrow. There's a few other things that I want to add / change as well. I'll more than likely do another release in the next couple of days. In terms of time shifted traffic, it really isn't very easy to do. It's virtually impossible to take a snapshot of some 6000 aircraft in the air, 24x7 with like 1 second intervals. I think this is partially why Real Traffic also dropped it. Thanks for the feedback, and I'm glad to hear it is working well!

Just a quick update. I've made a new version available, 2020-05-18-01. Brief changelog: - Parameter now supports both IP address or DNS name of the computer where ADS-B Live must connect to, ie. "ADSB.exe mycomputer" /or/ "ADSB.exe 192.168.1.100" - Improved exception handling, errors are automatically reported. If there are any unhandled exception errors, please post them so that they can be addressed. - Some cosmetic changes to the console window's GUI I see quite a few people did download the data provider since my initial post. I would obviously, love to hear feedback, suggestions, and/or complaints 🙂 -- Chris.
