Transmitter URLs are Changing

If you’ve been using Transmitter to keep track of group flights in LittleNavMap, this applies to you - please read it.

The URL to access the Transmitter data is changing. At the end of the year we will retire the existing URL, and replace it with a more descriptive URL.


The Old URL

The old URL to read data from Transmitter is/was as follows:

  • https://virtualflight.online/read.php


The New URLs

The new URL to use within LitttleNavMap is as follows:

  • https://virtualflight.online/whazzup_ivao

If you use any software that uses the IVAO JSON format (such as FS-FlightControl) you can also use the following URL:

  • https://virtualflight.online/whazzup_ivao_json


An added bonus for ATC

You can add ?group=xyz to the new URLs, which means LittleNavMap will only pull back aircraft that match the parameter passed in the URL. This relies on your friends inputting the same group name in their Transmitter client software.

e.g. https://virtualflight.online/whazzup_ivao?group=VirtualFlight.Online

If you don’t add the group parameter, all aircraft are returned.


What will happen when the old URL is removed?

If you still have LittleNavMap pointing at the old URL at the end of the year, it will no longer show any aircraft on the map.

As soon as you update the URL, it will start working again.
