All,
I got some answers from the team in Hungary and apparently the software is _in_deed_ automatically sending the packets to the server over there ! The 'offline' sign in the lower left corner has nothing to do with it:
Hi Andreas,
Thanks for the packets!
New TLE from Celestrak: 2012-006C 1 38079U 12006C 12045.91493796 .00003662 00000-0 10000-3 0 77 2 38079 69.4856 235.4820 0781498 42.5136 323.3856 14.05527418 208
The automatic packet report works in background. I checked the logs, and you sent us 561 packet online until now.
Regards, Tibor Mezei
Well there you go. Sent them 560 packets and didn't even know it :) And in another email:
Dear Andy,
Please try to use the telemetry softwares automatic packet sending. It works for a lot of people. Actually the sign "Offline" in the lower left corner of the telemetry window was shown for a future improvement and shows something else. It is misleading, so we will remove it in the next release. Please answer to the [email protected] address where my colleague, HA3PL Levi, who is more competent in these topics, will answer to your further reports.
Sincerely,
Zsolt Várhegyi Masat-1 Developer Team
Still doesn't explain why the 'Server side logging' checkbox is unchecked _and_ grayed out. But I guess its all research software very much under development.
