No flights on map.

MikeTheYeti

I got everything up and running; Map displays correctly, but there are not flights populating. I double checked from flightradar, and they are up there.

What are some things to check?

Thanks.

@MikeTheYeti

you can look for errors in the logs
a) server side
b) in the browser (ctrl+shift+i)

If you are willing to publish your config of the module I can test with my setup.

Thanks for looking into this for me. Here is my config:
{
disabled: false,
module: “MMM-Flights”,
position: “top_left”,
config: {
laMin: XX.XX,
laMax: XX.XX,
loMin: -YY.YY,
loMax: -YY.YY,
},
},

My map draws correctly, but it just gives me “No flights in chosen area.” Comparison to same area on my flightradar24 app shows flights.

@MikeTheYeti

well, the values needed for testing are the area coordinates …

I understand that you don’t want to publish them, if it is o.k. for you, can you send me a chat message here with the complete config?

@karsten13 Sorry, I am sometimes wishing to be too anonymous. However, I was double checking my Min and Max values. I initially thought that because my map rendered that I had them correct; I swapped the values, and all is perfect.

I can now see flight numbers at a glance without having to pull out my phone. So good.

Thanks so much!

Since I have you, and now that I have a look at a populated display. Is there a section in the MMM-Flights.js where I can modify what prints regarding flight info.

I want to make things with a little more brevity, and maybe save some space. I would like to omit full airport names and full Airline names.

When a long string of text displays it expands the map onto other stuff on my display.

Thanks.

this is hard coded at the moment, you can change the code here
