Flightradar24 Thread Part II

fr336

I think the point at the moment is it is named FlightRadar2 thread rather than FlightRadar24 thread...I can't cope with this level of service I really can't

Neo sounds good to me. What is NG?

b757

NG..

Mod note regarding post's such as 787's, a380's and the like also required, dozens of them pass through Irish airspace on a hourly basis so nothing new there.

A link to the FR24 FAQ would be great too..

Andy G did the hard work of transferring the last few pages to the new thread to ensure continuity.

If "Flightradar24 Thread II" doesn't float your boat you can offer suggestions on a new thread title. So far we have suggestions of:

-Flightradar24 neo
-Flightradar24 NG

I'll be online after my late shift tomorrow and will gauge the preferred choice

I personally think the current (fixed) name is perfect.

Next Generation, such as the B737NG (600-900 series aircraft).

No Clare, but I'd imagine the gusts are similar at cork airport, as its been windy here since 6.

According to a post on the weather forums, Strongest gust on the 2300 reports is 54 knots at kinsale followed by 52knots at belmullet

I think at a time like this is reminds me of the ever increasing necessity to have seperate FR24 threads for key events, stand out stuff that aren't too regular an occurance (maybe the lowest of this might be the more extreme end of weather events) and a continuation of this thread for everyone to post as they wish and have discussion along with it. I think things are far too fast moving now for even those of us who are here far too much. I mean when I'm struggling to keep up something is wrong!

Shamrock go around at Cork now on the ground.

kub

Well what were the chances of that, the first go around on the new thread and its a flight into Cork?

JCX BXC

What do ye prefer? FlightRadar on desktop/laptop or on phone? Personally for me its phone, its handier and faster I find.

kub

I much prefer the laptop as i have a bigger screen, its free and i can be listening to the appropriate ATC feed on another tab.

I tend to multitask, so I have boards.ie /some other website on my laptop with ATC playing, with fr on my phone. FR works better on my phone too, and I can't bring my laptop everywhere so it's handy for plane spotting.

Just woken up to the sound of a plane/helicopter here in Tramore. Can't see anything in Flightaware, anybody any ideas? Fairly loud!
