Feed your data to Flight Deck
ACARS, ADS-B, or ATC audio. Setup takes two minutes, and you get Flight Deck free for life.
ACARS
Two lines in ADSB.im.
- 1Expert Setup, then the Add environment variables to containers box.
- 2Add one line per thing you decode.
- 3Save. Done.
Plain ACARS (acarsdec, VHF)
AR_SEND_UDP_ACARS=acars.tryflightdeck.com:5550
VDL Mode 2 (dumpvdl2)
AR_SEND_UDP_VDLM2=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.
This forwards a copy. Your feeds to airframes.io and everyone else keep running.
ADS-B
One toggle in ADSB.im.
- 1In ADSB.im, open Data Sharing.
- 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.
