Greetings Andrew -

Thanks for integrating an ADS-B viewer into YAAC. I run an ADS-B receiver in the truck, and especially when I'm out in the middle of nowhere it's nice to be able to ID aircraft that happen by. I was using the browser interface to my ADS-B program running on an RPi on the truck network, but now that I have YAAC going I can watch there as well!

YAAC is running on a W11 Pro box in the truck, connected to the same truck network.

I've been noticing that a/c icons sometimes rarely move on the map unless I rescale the map or refresh it in some way. For instance, SWA5641 is moving past me at about 20ft and the "Monitored Aircraft" list shows the lat/lon updating once a second or so, but the icon on the map rarely if ever moves, and it always shows a staleness of "0s". That's just one example, there are dozens on the list many moving quickly, but letter to nothing moves on the map. Sometimes, maybe, they update quickly (like if I do a locate).

I did a search for ads-b related stuff on this reflector but didn't see anything about tweaking map update rates. Could it be that YAAC is just overwhelmed? I'm seeing over 350 a/c right now, according to the list.

Hi Andrew -

View>Layers>Show age was and remains on. The time since last position update is always displayed in small text below the main label. However, the value rarely changes.?

If I do Locate>(some a/c callsign)>OK then for the time during which the locate arrows are flashing all the on-map and in-range a/c icons on the screen update every second or so, consistent with my ADS-B browser window display. Once the arrows stop flashing, everything goes back to static.

And by static, I mean irregular but significant durations of time (120 sec? More?) pass between map updates. I assume that's either some process YAAC is doing for its own reasons or perhaps since I tell the map to stay centered on me. Even when I'm parked, the GPS dithers a bit, maybe it's enough to force a map re-center. But the a/c generally move several miles during that time.

Something else that would be nice would be to be able to set the persistence since last position update. Right now I think the ADS-B items may persist as long as any other thing, in most ADS-B instantiations 50-60 seconds without an update tosses the object off the list.

Oh, hey, one more item. While I can change the displayed font size, which is helpful especially on my mobile display, is there a way to bold the icon text? The text line widths are about the same as the background map lines and they all blend together. Maybe bolding would help me.?

I look forward to any enhancements!
