Non-compliant GDL90 Ownship report behavior
Ownship report not sent when GPS position fix not valid.
https://github.com/cyoung/stratux/blob/master/main/gen_gdl90.go#L287-L289
GDL90 "3.4" says:
The Ownship Report is output by the GDL 90 regardless of whether a valid GPS position fix is
available. If the ownship GPS position fix is invalid, the Latitude, Longitude, and NIC fields in
the Ownship Report all have the ZERO value.
Ref #348.
Any estimate as when this will be addressed? I'm still hoping to be able to use my Stratux without a GPS. I don't need AHRS and I have a perfectly good GPS in the display device. What I do need is transmission of ownship pressure altitude.
Thanks
We now have EFB's that allow us to use Stratux in the UK - they now support GDL90. So thats good. However there is a problem with ownship pressure altitude reporting to a "free" EFB called EasyVFR - you can download it from the Appstore for your ithingy.
So the EFB reports a band of altitudes of a threat aircraft. They say they do this because no valid pressure altitude is received from Stratux and so they display a band of altitudes covering a range of 2200' (i.e low QNH - high QNH).
Is this the same problem reported here - or should I start a new thread ?
