"Missing" contact

Re: "Missing" contact

Alas, after working OK for a month or so, it is now not displaying a different aircraft. Can't tell if 347ME is showing or not as it's been away at extended maintenance/upgrade. But, over the last week to 10 days, I've noticed 5199B now no longer shows, even if it's in the pattern with me.

The attached file is the ADSB log for one flight (I thought I had the logger enabled for others but it seems to turn itself off) where 5199B was in the pattern with me, but nothing shows on the display. This time my student didn't have a tablet to confirm.

Looks like the file upload won't work - possibly doesn't liek the 25Mb file size. You can get it off Google Drive here - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1f_O_R5NHe9Hwv76cGcFqXUvkmP7w-Iv3/view?usp=sharing

Here's the link to another adsb log file taken this morning. 5199B is in the pattern for 30+ minutes from almost the beginnin gof this flight, then should reappear at around 6.30am (they left the pattern earlier then returned).

IAN

The tablet that wasn't working properly wasn't a Samsung TAB A was it?

I get unusual things on mine.... like random targets the are not goast targets and appear to have zero air speed. This has been mentioned by others, but hasn't been resolved.

Yes. I have had 2 SM-T350 Tab As and both started out perfectly, then stopped showing at least one (that I know of) aircraft.

@John Miller

I have started a separate threrad at https://www.iflygps.com/Support/Forum...976/scope/posts to see if others are having this issue and what tablet/OS version they're running. Can you confirm you're using Nougat 7.1.1, John?
