There are only three plugins for version 1.65 and RC1.7 that I know of.
They are included and, should be, installed with acarsd to the default directory of c:\acarsd\plugins.
Older versions of acarsd included other plugins but are no longer needed as their functionally was
programmed into acarsd or eliminated due to excessive problems.
The current plugins are: Flightgrid creator v1.20, Fetch icons from different server v1.12b and,
Log debug messages to a logfile v1.12b. Enable/disable the plugins by clicking acarsd > Plugins > (select plugin)
Flightgrid creator: Click, Windows > Create Flightgrid. This allows you to track how many contacts are made with
a flight from a particular airline in an hour’s time. So, I enter AA, IATA code for American Airlines, and 5 flights,
click Create Flightgrid, Now you see a list of flights that you have 5 contacts with an hour sorted by day and time.
For example: Sunday between 00-01 o’clock I had 5 contacts, acars messages, from flight AA0084.
Fetch icons from different server. Early versions of acarsd downloaded icons, pictures of aircraft, from only one server.
People wanted an option to change icon servers due to server performance / downtime and some servers host more pictures
than others do. Click, Images > (select server)
Log debug messages to a logfile: Used to troubleshoot problems / crashes in acarsd.
Creates the file c:\acarsd\acarsd.log when enabled. It should only be enabled if you are having problems.
It will log everything and becomes very large.
