Here's an interesting site that combines Google Map and Google Earth views on www.navpt.com (http://www.navpt.com). If you click on an aircraft and then at the bottom the box that appears click on Fly inside cockpit on the pilot seat you get a 3D Google Earth popup view from the pilot's seat (you'll need the Google Earth plugin in your browser). Perhaps something for me to investigate for SquawkBox.
This is brilliant Andy. I cannot wait for something similar for the UK. I even showed it to my wife, she was so impressed.
Absolutely astonishing!!!!
just sat in the "spare seat" on two TAP A320's into Lisbon from about 50km out - it's such a pity that they seem to loose the signal at around 650ft on finals.
This is one amazing addition to the whole game - well done Andy for spotting this one
As an aside - has anyone been on the TAS Manchester website lately - they are running a "live" feed from "Virtuelradar" straight from their home page - don't know much about them, but it's blinking useful when you see something out of the office window without access to Radarbox!! Unfortunately I wouldn't get away with taking the box to work, and the number of times I've looked out of the window to see a few heavies heading US bound, wondering what they are - it only shows actual tracked ADS-B flights, with a slight delay, but it's better than nothing to waste a few hours!

It's Portuguese! :D
one of the developers told me that they are going to release the software for the whole of europe soon, you can buy it, it works with any ads-b receiver. infos will be on their homepage.
I added this cockpit view to SquawkBox's Google Maps output, something like this...

RadarBox 3D has this feature implemented by default.
Absolutely brilliant! AirNav 3D plug-in is still in the future, so obviously people are going to look around to see what else is being developed for use now.
