One day over the Scottish Highlands

I decided to capture a days worth of activity using Planeplotter. Looks quite beutiful to me, even a work of art!!! But why do no aircraft want to fly over my house?

Because they see all those antennas and wonder what exactly you are listening for?

Maybe it is because you live in the middle of a bombing range?

Because you complain about noise?

Because it would spoil the pattern?

OK...OK...I give in...why do no aircraft want to fly over your house?

:-)

Kind regards,

They are avoiding flying over the circle of stones at Craigh Na Dun ;-)

Very good It must be that all the aircraft have dissapeared and been sucked back in time!

Hi!
What settings did you use to get this..I've tried but most of the contrails disappear.
Thanks Dave Lewis.

Dave, the screenshot is taken from Planeplotter, taking a feed from Radarbox on port 30003. Planeplotter is a separate program that can read aircraft positional data output from Radarbox on port 7879/30003.

Radarbox doesn't let you have "permanent" trails :(

Hi!
It's Planeplotter I'm using ...using the internet sharing I get plenty of plots but the contrails last so long then go..I've got permanent trails ticked and contrail duration set to 10000..omit aircraft 1000. I don't own a Radarbox yet it's on my Christmas list.
Thanks Dave.

Tarbat looking good. You should move here to over East Kilbride where plenty fly over. Waste of time today though as it's chucking it down !

Dave, I don't think I've ever tried "Permanent Trails" on network shared aircraft in Planeplotter. Anyway, these are the settings I used.
