  1. #dumpvdl2 #acars decoder was updated with OHMA messages.
    They are heavy on the #JSON and a bit tricky to humanly read when decoded.
    A website user prodded me to make them a bit clearer to read.
    Here is my first pass at making a JSON pretty-print for the @nodered dashboard.
    Looking forward to more than just the 737 Max aircraft including this data.
    Helps to have a giant monitor....

  2. I'm starting to update all my VDL #ACARS stations to the latest #dumpvdl2 build (2.3.0)
    You must also update #libacars for this new version.
    Building both from source is the go.
    Required versions are: dumpvdl2 2.3.0 (libacars 2.2.0)

    Of course the big reason to do the update is to decode the OHMA messages from #Boeing #737MAX aircraft.
    I see some routing info in there which is always nice.

    Note: Im getting invalid #JSON via my #nodered. Looking into it.

  3. Testing some #javascript that loops through the JSON output from #dumpvdl2 and picks any key:value pairs that has lat/lon in them.
    Then it reformats that data to #BaseStation format and sends it to #VRS (Virtual Radar Server).
    The plan is to cross reference any aircraft with the same ICAO and is transmitting #ADSB data, thus highlight mostly military and bizjets that are trying to run quiet.

  4. I am going to try and fail to contain my 'outrage' (Not the right word, but eh) on the topic of #JSON data in #ACARS messages.
    I thought there would be about 50 'paths' of data.
    I'm up to 7821 paths (keys?) so far. 7.8.2.1 !!
    That is a TON of #dumpvdl2 data we had no idea about.
