RadarBox 3D - Development Update

AirNav Development · January 28, 2010, 11:22:28 PM

After 2 months of continuous beta testing and 2 permanent programmers working on the 3D interface we are releasing today what we expect to be a very final beta version of AirNav RadarBox 3D.

It is being made available to our closed beta testing team.
The date everyone is waiting for is getting closer.

I hope to buy it before my departure February 18, 2010, to test it during my stay in Uruguay. An area not covered until now by a radabox.

The 3D interface is very good for visualising the approach of an aircraft through UK airspace. Whilst not the most impressive of screen-shots, this shows me watching EZY155 on approach into Inverness, with the UK airspace KML enabled. One to show my friend, who is on the flight today!!

I've tweaked the 3D settings to give a smaller aircraft model, etc. , more suited to my requirements.

considering the quality of those screenshots i can hardly imagine that the software needs nay mor beta testing: it looks as if completely ready and just waiting to be released for us "poor" who are waiting for it , credit card ready!
you remember the song : Please release me let me go? replace the "me" by "IT", please!
( one more question: on the screenshots you can see australian und uk airspace if i am not mistaken. hopefully the software applies to all european airspaces, including germany?!)

We have reached an agreement with an external developer who provided us 3D kml files for most of the world airspace. We will provide it for free to our RadarBox 3D users. So answering your question we do have airspace data for almost all the world.

Real-time could coverage layers could also be included for free.

What is the point of 3D? What does it really offer? I'd rather the Alert Function was made totally reliable. As you said in a previous thread about Mlat professional's won't waste their time on 'unreliable' info...so what about Alert function being sorted first and the database?

I'm just a lowlife enthusiast - do I count at all?

AirNav Development · January 30, 2010, 05:31:36 PM

Tramline, there is no point in reporting the same problem in several threads. Our support will answer you regarding your alert complaint later today.

As a side note: our enthusiast clients are as important for us as our professional clients. We pay the highest possible attention to them, as this forum shows and anyone can read on a daily basis.

O.K thankyou, but I'm not psychic! You did not respond to my original thread so how did I know AirNav support were going to respond?

That is good to hear.

P.S - What IS the point of 3D though?

Here's one example of how useful 3D can be:

Of course, 3D may not for everyone, and each can choose whether to have it or not. You'll still be able to use 2D - unlike some other box.
