This version includes a total rewrite of the Outerlink interface to use their published AFF web service.

• This brings back heading, altitude, and airspeed.

• Outerlink units with the IRIS system no longer have any messaging interface (text messages, Maydays, or Code Blues). Sorry that I was the last to know. Obviously, the new interface doesn't support them either. (They still exist for SkyConnect units).

Use the usual method to install this upgrade. Once installed (or even ahead of time) you enable the new interface by adding the following into your amsglobal.ini file:

[OUTERLINK]
Enable=1
OL_USER=<your user name>
OL_PASS=<your password>
XML=1

[OL_XML]
MAXPOSREP=50  :the maximum posreps I'll go back to look for
LASTPOSREP=
LASTPOSAVL=

Then you will want run Dispatch and edit each OL-equipped aircraft. In the AVL_ID field you will put your OL ID for that aircraft (looks like METRO123456). Make sure the AVL Type field has Outerlink CP-2 selected. Save. Repeat.

Finally, don't be surprised if after you run Statwin, you look and see values in the two LASTPOSxxx fields above. I store the last posrep we logged in there, so that if you shut down Statwin while an aircraft is airborne, when you restart it it will go back and retrieve any posreps missed since the last one we logged. Pretty cool.
