Flight Radar 24
I have been enjoying FR 24 for about a year now.
Today though the format of presentation has changed. It used to show a solid line of the aircrafts track flown. Now it just shows a dotted line ahead of the aircrafts track, not what I want to see.
Any thoughts or ideas on this ??

Mr Grubby ought to know what he's at - he's a retired NATS radar controller.
I've notice some strange things too - I saw a KLM Heathrow inbound, right-hand downwind. When I clicked it to follow the track it showed a dashed black line direct from CLN. An inbound BA Shuttle shows a similar line straight from Belfast.
Any clues anyone please?

The dashed black line appears to be a crudely plotted Great Circle from an arbitrary point along the aircraft's actual route (shown up to that point in purple) and terminating at the aircraft's current position.
Not awfully helpful, in other words.
It's as if FR24 is throwing away the last portion of the actual flightpath, for reasons I don't understand.
