Bev explains: "At the foot of the display, you will see three numbers, separated by slashes. These numbers are the number of aircraft received in this session, the number of messages received and the number of messages with positions. Note: if you are using PlanePlotter with the SBS1 (with the log file access method) the number of messages will be the same as the number of positions, because every message is a position report."

It is as simple as that.

As yet, not all aircraft transmit the full ADS-B data, so position is missing, and hence the aircraft is not plotted.

Firstly, make sure that you have aircraft visible on your View..Chart screen.   If not, fix that first.



Then, with PP processing temporarily halted, select Options..I/O settings and enable the option "Google Earth server" with port numbers 4180 and 4818.  Resume processing in PP.



Open Google-Earth and select File..Open and navigate to the directory where the PlanePlotter application is installed (eg C:\Program Files\COAA\PlanePlotter).  Choose the "google-aircraft.kml" file and the aircraft that are showing on PP should now also be showing on G-E.

No, for one individual user just register the extra copy by completing the form here, using same name and e-mail address, and the serial number for your second PC. But if that copy is for a second person, they must pay for their registration using their own name and e-mail address.
Do I need to pay again if I upgrade? No.
I upgraded my PC and now I need a new key. Register the new PC by completing the form here, using same name and e-mail address as when you first paid for Plane Plotter, and the serial number for your new PC.
I paid for the program, but now its says I'm back on the trial! Why? Serial numbers and registration.
Is installation on Windows Vista any different? There are some hints here

Method 1 - using the SBS1patch software
see: http://www.pawluczuk.info/sbs1/ http://piopawlu.net/projects/sbs1-rt/
Close BaseStation SBS1
Wait until it fully closes
Run the sbs1patch.exe and follow the on screen instructions
Method 2 - using SBS1rt software
from http://www.pawluczuk.info/sbs1/ http://piopawlu.net/projects/sbs1-rt/
Run BaseStation.
Wait until it fully initialises.
