Enable Flarm/Fanet/ADS-L on AIR³ 7.3(5)+?

To know more about Fanet, Flarm/ADS-L and Livetracking, check this FAQ…

AIR³ 7.3+ or AIR³ 7.35+ has an integrated Fanet, Flarm and ADS-L module. To enable it for flying, you can either enable it with XCTrack, or with XC Guide.

WARNING: the module should be activated ONLY with XC Guide or with XCTrack. NOT both. The easy way is to enable it in XCTrack. In this case, make sure that it is not activated in XC Guide if you are using XC Guide in parallel.
You could also activate the module in XC Guide and then have XC Guide transmit the information to XCTrack through TCP, but this requires more complex settings.

So, to activate the module:

XCTrack

Go to Menu/Preferences/Connection & Sensors. In the Internal sensors, click on the 3 dots on the right and then on Properties. Enable FANET/FLARM data.

Check the FANET+ logo in the status line.   

Once the module is enabled, a new line appears with the validity of the Flarm licence as well as the Fanet/Flarm/ADS-L ID. Check how to freely upgrade the FLARM licence through XC Guide in the XC Guide specific AIR³ features page.

FANET, FLARM and ADS-L ID are sent every second. The pilot name (Menu/Preferences/Pilot/Username is sent every minut. The type of aircraft (Menu/Preferences/Aircraft/FAI class) is sent together with the other data communicated through the module.

Note that a GPS fix is required to work properly. Fanet, Flarm and ADS-L data are sent once the pilot is considered as flying.

If you want to test the module without flying, check this FAQ.
