Sorry to hijack the thread slightly...I have a couple of questions regarding PP...

Does it track in "real time", i.e no delays? Can you zoom in further on the aircraft? I'm guessing it is a web based application, if not, is the program that you use any good, and easy to use? Does it show every aircraft that are airborne in the supported areas?

Thanks in Advance.

EGNT: Yes it does track it in real time. I've only ever noticed at most a 1-2 second delay, but that is just the time it takes to refresh and load the image. You are also able to zoom in on any plane/area to get a closer look. Planeplotter also gives you info such as flight number/call, the origin and destination (although this is sometimes wrong, but not a huge problem), the height and speed, as well as the squawk code of that aircraft. So for the price it really does offer a large amount.
