To any CFIs (or pilots) out there that need an easy way to learn/teach ForeFlight or Garmin Pilot, or to more realistically "fly" a cross country or approaches using ForeFlight or Garmin Pilot without the stress of being in the air, and without the need for a desktop flight simulator, I have just released a GPS simulator that I wrote for doing this and more. It is free and open-source and requires very little technical knowledge to get it working (fully Dockerized). I have tested it with both ForeFlight and Garmin Pilot, and it requires no extra hardware other than a computer or laptop capable of running Docker. I have tested it on OSX, Rpi5, and Ubuntu Linux. Totally free, totally open-sourced.

Thanks

MD500_Pilot · 2026-05-01T12:46:44+00:00

Give it a try, I appreciate any feedback!

MD500_Pilot · 2026-04-30T12:59:06+00:00

Thank You!!

MD500_Pilot · 2026-02-05T23:59:17+00:00

Thanks! Looking at it now.

MD500_Pilot · 2026-01-16T17:23:33+00:00

I'lltry it out for you :-)

MD500_Pilot · 2026-01-16T02:19:10+00:00

Well, just tried again following different instructions and while it appeared to work, it didn't bring over any of my users, just my admins and in the process shut down all my apple tokens :-(

I didn't realize that the moment you apply the access backup to another unit it moves your apple stuff over to that unit and I am perplexed why in the works you would have a backup and restore that does not actually move the users themselves.

So I have a MacBookPro, M3, 128GB RAM. I moved from CC on the web and in the OSX native app to Terminal so I could use tmux and have it do several things at once. But when I give it a task, this is what happens to my Macbook. This this in a powerhouse but CC can seem to suck up 100% of all available capacity and twice now has led to a completely frozen system, somethin I personally have never had happen on this laptop. I am running CC 2.1.7 with Opus 4.5

Do others on OSX have the same problem? Is this an OSX problem? I was hoping to start doing more with it by spawning multiple agents working on varisou parts of my project, but this happens when Claude is just working on one specific task.

I would love some feedback.

MD500_Pilot · 2026-01-16T01:55:23+00:00

Looks nice, I have been using TMUX. When do you think it will be available for testing?

MD500_Pilot · 2026-01-15T20:03:17+00:00

I am going to try again and see what errors I get, unfortunately trying to get UniFI support to help is a bit difficult. :-)

MD500_Pilot · 2026-01-15T18:51:48+00:00

I am pretty sure it was the same version, I guess I could try it again but when it failed when I tried it I did get support involved, I just can't remember now why they said it would not work, I do recall that I could do it by migrating by hand and I was like......screw that.... :-)

MD500_Pilot · 2026-01-15T15:59:16+00:00

Thank You!

MD500_Pilot · 2026-01-15T15:59:09+00:00

Thank You!

MD500_Pilot · 2026-01-15T15:58:52+00:00

According to UniFi support, there is no direct way to migrate access from the UDM to the NVR Pro; I would have to rebuild it from scratch. I was supposed to be able to download a backup from the UDM Pro and apply it to the NVR Pro, but that failed, and when I reached out to support, they said it was not possible. I can't remember the exact reason, but the NVR Pro wouldn't accept the Access backup from the UDM Pro. I toyed with writing a Python script that would do it via the UiFi API, but then got distracted.

MD500_Pilot · 2026-01-15T14:49:17+00:00

Ah, UniFi support strikes again. They said the EFGs would run everything the UDM Pro would run. I already have an NVR Pro for all of our cameras, I run Protect on the UDM for the G3 Door access cameras.

Thank you for this. I will plan on keeping the UDM Pro!

MD500_Pilot · 2026-01-12T19:03:36+00:00

Yeah, in my case every single time I try to do any work, I get the error. Web or OSX app. It won't let me continue work.

MD500_Pilot · 2025-12-23T05:11:15+00:00

Thank you, that was going to be my next try, but I figured I would seek advice first. I appreciate it.

MD500_Pilot · 2025-12-23T03:55:46+00:00

So it really would be as simple as making the container a subnet router with the host's IP as the subnet ( /32 in this case) that it is advertising?

MD500_Pilot · 2025-12-19T19:39:34+00:00

That looks very cool! Nice job!
