iFly GPS Forum

i dont want to make a big deal out of nothing, but I think this is quite a serious problem, especially for a low time pilot in a pattern with 3-4 airplanes and another two or three on the way in or out .  There is a sensory overload while trying to process the clutter on the screen and disregard the dupes.   I know that stratus fell out of favor with iFLY, but it's actually quite a good platform (especially the EU fork) with full size antennas and good reception compared to the alternatives.. in my case the reception may be *too* good as stratux is receiving dupes from tower 20 NM away  at 1000AGL.. ;-)

I wonder if rebroadcasts can be filtered easily by creating a hash from each tail number + position report, and storing it in a circular buffer of recent positions.   if a packet comes in with the a computed hash as already exists in the buffer then assume it's a dupe and discard.  

It seems to be true that seeing doubles only happens with Stratux.  It also appears that Foreflight doesn't have the doubles issue when used with Stratux.  You are saying that (Stratux) is the cause of the problem and (apparently) Ifly is not willing to look into a solution.  I purchased my Stratux (and Ifly subscription) from Ifly--so it seems you're not willing to support an interaction issue with these two products both of which I purchased thru Ifly. 

Hi Warren - we've been flying with our Stratux and rarely if ever have seen a ghost of our own aircraft.  Just asking? - have you entered your hex code for your aircraft on the Stratux settings page?  If not this will likely make your experience with the Stratux better.
