Dear Sir
I am Laurent Duval Webmaster of Radarvirtuel.com
I looking for contributor's how can share data to complete a Googlemaps project as you can see here: www.radarvirtuel.com
I just need 30003 outbound port open and fixed ip or dyndns.
Could you tell me if sometimes you could share your data from your location?
Best regard's
Laurent Duval

As you can see how the email reads it smell a bit fishey,
as they seem to know i run the airnav software so i was wondering if Airnav are aware of this. And is it legal what they want us to do?
Cheers
Kev
Have any other users of our forum received this email?
would you like me to forward the email i got to you at the support email address?
got that in "my messages" on this forum some time ago.
I made contact with Laurent on my gmail account within a week or two of getting my radarbox. He has a great setup and service and it's 99% transparent to the RB end user.
Same as Hans above, this character contacted me within 24 hours of me registering here asking me to share my info with him.
I am currently sharing my data with radarvirtuel.com and have emailed Laurent on a number of occasions. Nothing to worry about.
Hi
We also share our data and have found him totally genuine. It was actually us who contacted him. I believe he just needs extra people willing to share their data to get better coverage of some areas. I hope his site continues as we find it very useful if we are away from home and our RB as we can still see the traffic in our area then.

I too had a similar email from Laurent.
I signed up to radarvirtuel, although Laurent had to guide my PC through the process so that my RadarBox output could be shared.
Ah - you mean the free alternative to the paid RadarBox network ?
Standby, this thread will self-destruct in 5...4...3...2...1...
I received such an email a day or two after registering on the Forum.
Steady on Dave, you'll get banned.............................
We are already in contact with Laurent from RadarVirtuel. Tks for all your help/feedback.
All I ever get at that site is this error message. It then consumes 100% CPU.

Try a different browser, I don't think it works with IE.
Hi All
We try to optimize the website, and we recommend Firefox or Google Chrome.
Sorry Kevin if i disturb you that was not the goal.
Regards
Laurent

Okay, it works in Firefox, although still consumes 100% CPU. A bit silly making a website that doesn't work in IE though!! And no aircraft in Scotland.
Hi Tarbat
Could you tell me how many process turn in task manager?
Look for firefox or screen capture.
I use sempron 3000+ windwos xp sp3 and 2 Go ram
CPU use by firefox between 30 - 60% when refresh the page.

49%, so using all of one core in my dual-core Pentium 2.8GHz. PC becomes unresponsive when using the web-site.
In my opinion, there are too many sharing sites!! I already upload to Airnav, Planeplotter, MilModeSLogger, and FTP. Why should I use up even more of my valuable bandwidth uploading to yet another site? Especially when that site makes my PC become unresponsive.

Can't agree with that Tarbat!
It's only a request to share info! No one's demanding you share with them!
In my view, the more the better, as it firstly gives more people an insight into what they maybe missing, by giving them a feel for the use and benefits of either a Radarbox or SBS unit, thus potentially leading to more punters sharing more data, and secondly as several forum members have stated, gives them the opportunity to see what's going on when away from their box.
If it enhances our hobby for all, even if only through lively debate, or for those who maybe cannot afford the cash for their own box,then I'm all for these free sites.
