Real-Time Global Flight Tracking Software

[Hussein Patwa]

Hello.  for the last couple of years I've been interested in being able to track and watch flights around the world going i real-time.  I love the idea of being able to see flights taking off, cruising and then landing at their destination on a map on my PC with all the details, route, etc.  It'd also be a great aid to serious flight simming, as you can use the data to create realistic flight routes and schedules, but my main interest is just for the viewing of the global flights.

I've seen the AirNav flight tracking software, which is great and has everything I want, but it only seems to support flights originating from, or travelling to, the US.  Nothing against you guys, but I'd be more interested in complete global coverage.

Any such thing out there?  I might add that I only saw the trial of the Airnav flight tracker (not that loaded, lol) but I haven't seen any evidence to indicate that the full version has global coverage, and it's the only software I know about.

Thanks.

Hussein.

If I remember correctly, AirNav's registered version does that...the freeware version does not...and it's quite crap...the freeware one that is

Hi mate, is that the Airnav Life Flight Tracker?  Because it says for both home and professional users, All USA and Canada flight tracked (Other regions included).  Don't know, but that sounds as though the other regions aren't very detailed, and that where I think the departing from and going to the US comes from - it doesn't look like full global coverage of all international flights globally is given.  I'm here in the UK and a US orientated flight tracking system wouldn't be of much interest to me.

Cheers.

Well....FS too is pretty detailed in the States....but far out here...nothing....Europe is alright...Asia is a little worse...Australia is decent...but Africa is crap.....Speaking of which...the Great Wall of Chine isn't even in FS9

[Hussein Patwa]

True.  And that's pretty bad if one of the seven wonders of the world is missed out, even if it is just a wall!

Maybe in FS X?
