Flight Radar 24

Postby Azframer » Tue Apr 21, 2015 5:45 pm

I don't know if this has been posted before, it is a good place to see live radar of flights around the world. You can click on aircraft anywhere on the map and their info will show up on the left hand side Airline, plane, model, altitude, speed...ect. Click on image of plane and it will take you to images of that aircraft if they are on file at plane spotters

If you are looking for a certain airline and plane to do a repaint for I suggest search by country first.

Or you could do Airline index

Yeah I use it ..... quite addictive and still can't help myself pointing at the occasional aircraft in the sky to see where it's coming from and to ... particlularly when I see 4 contrails.
The live maps are fascinating .....

& thanks for posting the airline fleets index ..... didn't know about that. Bookmarked!

Fortunately for me, they are so high up in the sky, over my back garden, that I cant hear them...

..compared to the annoying, occasional, police, etc, helicopters hovering overhead, and breaking the welcome silence.

We use it here in the South of the UK. We're on the flight path for Gatwick and Heathrow, much of the European traffic goes over us. I'm always amazed at how much metalwork there is flying around up there.

I have a question for the flight radar page. I may be just missing something or it is a premium feature? Once I select a flight. When I click on the 3D cockpit view, I get nothing. All switches are up yet Airplane switch is set to off. I can not get it to come on. Any ideas on that?

You do have to download 3D Google maps.

Rick, I have google earth pro, is that the same thing? It has 3d. I also looked on the web and saw that 3d maps have been discontinued.
Will I have to do something on the flight radar page to make it work?

Please also keep in mind that FR24 is available for both Android and iOS as well. I have it on my iPhone, iPod, and iPad as well as on a Nexus 7. Love it and for a few bucks you can get some awesome features and they just did an update and now you can see some military traffic and gliders. They update often so it's always neat to have and see the newest features. :)
