Acarsd - Free ACARS decoder for Linux & Windows - acarsd ACARS Decoder for Linux and Windows.

SOFTWARE FOR ACARS RECEPTION

ACARS IS SHORT FOR ' AIRCRAFT COMMUNICATIONS ADDRESSING AND REPORTING SYSTEM ' THERE NOTHING SPECIAL REQUIRED FOR THE RECEPTION OF ACARS OTHER THAN A VHF SCANNER RECEIVER COVERING THE AIR-BANDS AND YOUR COMPUTER AND THE SOFTWARE, YOU JUST NEED TO MAKE A CONNECTION FROM THE SCANNER AUDIO OUTPUT TO THE SOUNDCARD MIC / LINE INPUT JACK.

ACARS IS ALSO USED ON THE H.F BANDS AND IS EASY TO COPY, BUT YOU WILL NEED THE PC-HFDL PROGRAMME. YOU WILL ALSO NEED A DECENT STABLE SSB RECEIVER AS YOU NEED TO ACCURATELY TUNE THE RECEIVER TO WITHIN ABOUT 100 HZ OF THE TRANSMISSION

THERE IS PROBABLY A LOT OF PROGRAMS OUT THERE BUT THE FOUR BELOW I HAVE USED.THE FAIRLY NEW VDL 2 PROTOCOL CAN BE DECODED BY MULTPSK ( THE DATA FROM THIS PROGRAM CAN BE PASSED ONTO PLANEPLOTTER ) VDL 2 CAN ALSO BE DECODED USING A RASPBERRY PI

THE BELOW PROGRAMS ARE AVAILABLE FOR WINDOWS

VHF ACARS

A SCREEN SHOT FROM THE AIRNAV ACARS DE-CODER PROGRAMME VER 2-1

AIRNAV AND RADAR BOX

ACARS MESSAGES CAN BE DISPLAYED IN THE RADAR BOX PROGRAM BUT YOU MUST HAVE THE AIRNAV ACARS PROGRAM.

I MUST SAY THAT I CANNOT GET THE AIRNAV ACARS PROGRAM VERSON 1 OR VERSION 2.1 TO DISPLAY ACARS MESSAGES IN RADARBOX ANYMORE

ALTHOUGH THE SOFTWARE IS STILL SOLD ITS REALLY QUITE OLD NOW AND I CAN ONLY THINK THAT THERE IS A COMPATIBILITY ISSUE BETWEEN THE LATER VERSION OF RADAR BOX AND AIRNAV ACARS THATS NEVER BEEN ADDRESSED OR THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE COMPUTER OS. YOU CAN TRY CHANGING THE COMPATIBILITY TO VISTA OR XP IN THE AIRNAV .EXE, BUT IT DOES NOT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE NOR IF YOU RUN IT AS ADMIINSTRATOR - STARTING ACARS FIRST THEN RADARBOX OR THE OTHERWAY AROUND AND IT STILL DON'T WORK. IF ANYONE KNOWS A WORK AROUND LET ME KNOW

ACARSDECO2 - FOR WINDOWS

ABOVE IS A SCREEN SHOT FROM THE ACARDECO2 PROGRAM ( FREEWARE ) - THIS SHOWS THE DATA SCREEN - THERE IS ALSO A LOG SCREEN AND A FLIGHTS SCREEN

THE PROGRAM CAN BE DOWNLOADED FROM HERE ACARSDECO2 FOR WINDOWS THERE IS A VERSION FOR RASPBERRY PI ALSO -FOLLOW THIS LINK

EDIT THE .BAT FILE - IT'S FLEXABLE AND CAN BE TAILORED FOR YOUR REQUIREMENTS - BELOW IS HOW I DID THINGS - RUN THE PROGRAM BY CLICKING ON THE BATCH FILE AND THEN OPEN YOUR BROWSER AND TYPE 192.168.1.87:8080 ( REPLACE THIS ADDRESS WITH YOUR OWN PC ADDRESS ) - READ THE README FILE THAT COMES WITH THE PROGRAM TO GET THE MOST OUT OF IT

acarsdeco2.exe --gain 49 --freq-correction 64 --freq 131550000 --freq 131725000 --freq 131825000 --freq 131525000 --http-port 8080 --vrs-url http://192.168.1.290:8081 --outConnectUdp pp:192.168.1.87:9742 --pictures http://192.168.1.290:8081 --silhouettes c:datasilhouettes --db c:databasestation.sqb --frdb c:dataflightroute.sqb --banners c:datalogos

CREATE A FOLDER CALLED ACARSDECO2 ON YOUR C DRIVE AND INSTALL THE PROGRAM THERE

CREATE A FOLDER CALLED DATA ON YOUR C DRIVE AND PLACE YOUR LOGOS, SILHOUETTES FOLDERS THERE ALONG WITH A COPY OF YOUR BASE STATION.SQB FILE AND FLIGHTROUTE .SQB

( I DID IT THIS WAY BECAUSE IT MAKES IT EASIER TO UPDATE THE FILES FROM THE MAIN PC )

AS I RUN VRS ON A RASPBERRY PERMENTLY 192.168.1.290:8081 ( USE YOUR RPI IP ADDRESS ) I PULLED THE PICTURES AND OTHER REQUIRED VRS INFO FROM THERE ( YOU MUST HAVE VRS RUNNING SOMEWHERE ON YOUR NETWORK )

VIEW RESULTS ON THE MAIN PC192.168.1.87:8080 ( USE YOUR I.P ADDRESS )

OUTPUT TO PLANEPLOTTER 127.0.0.1:9742 ( PP RUNNING ON YOUR MAIN PC )

OR A BETTER IDEA IS TO INSTALL THE PROGRAM ON A RASPBERRY AND VIEW THE RESULTS IN YOUR BROWSER ACROSS THE NETWORK

THIS IS A GOOD UPDATE OVER THE ORIGINAL PROGRAM AND MAKES ACARS RECEPTION A LOT MORE INTERESTING AND ALL YOU NEED IS A CHEAP SDR RTL DONGLE ( DON'T FORGET TO INSTALL THE ZADIG DRIVER IF ITS NOT ALREADY ON THE COMPUTER ) AND A HOMEMADE ANT - MY VDL2 ANT WILL WORK FINE

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE VIRTUAL RADAR SERVER - INSTALL ACARSDECO2 AS ABOVE BUT MODIFY THE BATCH FILE TO REFLECT THE BELOW AND EVERTHING WILL BE RUN FROM YOUR PC - OUTPUT WILL BE TO PLANEPLOTTER RUNNING ON THE SAME PC - BUT YOU WILL BE MISSING OUT ON A LOT MORE INFORMATION THAT VRS COULD SUPPLY

THE ABOVE LIST I HAVE NOT UPDATED FOR YEARS AND IS NOT 100% ACCURATE BUT MOST FREQUENCIES ARE STILL OK BUT CHECK THIS LIST OUT [ ALL FREQUENCIES WERE ACTIVE IN 9TH JANUARY/MARCH 2019 ( NOT A COMPLETE LIST THOU )

TO DECODE H.F ACARS YOU WILL NEED THE PC-HFDL PROGRAM, PLUS A GOOD STABLE H.F. RECEIVER CAPABLE OF TUNING TO WITHIN ABOUT 100 HZ OF THE TRANSMISSION . THE PC-HFDL PROGRAM WILL ALSO INTERFACE WITH PLANEPLOTTER. MULTIPSK WILL DECODE HFDL TRANSMISSIONS ON ITS OWN.

CODECAPI_AVDecNumWorkerThreads	Sets the number of worker threads used by the decoder.
CODECAPI_AVDecVideoMaxCodedWidth	Sets the maximum picture width that the decoder will accept as an input type.
CODECAPI_AVDecVideoMaxCodedHeight	Sets the maximum picture height that the decoder will accept as an input type.
MF_SA_MINIMUM_OUTPUT_SAMPLE_COUNT	Specifies the maximum number of output samples.
MFT_DECODER_EXPOSE_OUTPUT_TYPES_IN_NATIVE_ORDER	Specifies whether a decoder exposes IYUV/I420 output types (suitable for transcoding) before other formats.

Minimum Resolution	48 × 48 pixels
Maximum Resolution	4096 × 2304 pixels The maximum guaranteed resolution for DXVA acceleration is 1920 × 1088 pixels; at higher resolutions, decoding is done with DXVA, if it is supported by the underlying hardware, otherwise, decoding is done with software. [!Note] In Windows 7, the maximum supported resolution is 1920 × 1088 pixels for both software and DXVA decoding.
DXVA	The decoder supports DXVA version 2, but not DXVA version 1. DXVA decoding is supported only for Main-compatible Baseline, Main, and High profile bitstreams. (Main-compatible Baseline bitstreams are defined as profile_idc=66 and constrained_set1_flag=1.)
