Feed your data to Flight Deck

ACARS, ADS-B, or ATC audio. ACARS and ADS-B are one toggle each now, and you get Flight Deck free for life.

ACARS

One toggle in the ADSB.im beta.

  1. 1On the new ADSB.im beta, open Data Sharing.
  2. 2Turn on Flight Deck under ACARS. That covers plain ACARS and VDL Mode 2.

Not on the beta yet?

The environment variables still work. Open Expert Setup, find the Add environment variables to containers box, and add one line per thing you decode.

Plain ACARS (acarsdec, VHF)

AR_SEND_UDP_ACARS=acarshub:5550;acars.tryflightdeck.com:5550

VDL Mode 2 (dumpvdl2)

AR_SEND_UDP_VDLM2=acarshub:5555;acars.tryflightdeck.com:5555

Decode both? Add both lines. Only one? Add only that line. Not sure what you run? Ask in the Discord and I will tell you which line you need.

ADS-B

One toggle in ADSB.im.

  1. 1In ADSB.im, open Data Sharing.
  2. 2Turn on Flight Deck in the aggregator list.

Same as adding any other aggregator. Nothing else changes.

ATC

We ship you a free receiver.

At an airport or a tower? You buy nothing. We send a complete receiver and antenna at our cost. Plug it in, give it a window. It only listens.
