Alan F. 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2009 Anyone interested in tracking aircraft around KL should check out: www.openatc.com and click on the Google Earth option in the left bar. Accept the terms & conditions and up should pop Google Earth with a temporary places folder for various parts of the world. There's a 5 minute delay to the traffic being shown from the servers sending out the tracks showing a/c call sign, altitude, speed and track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gavin Andrew David 6 Report post Posted January 5, 2009 Thanks Firky , If only they could do away with the delay , Still enjoy the VNC viewing though . heheh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alan F. 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2009 To obtain better tracking plots in Google Earth, highlight the 'Australasia' sub-folder in the temporary places folder, then in the G.E. menu bar select Edit - Properties - Refresh tab and alter time-based refresh to something like 15 secs.

Please remember that all the data for the tracking is coming from amatuers using the SBS1 radar box and not real ATC radars. Their data is then streamed to the OpenATC site who then turn into something to use in Google Earth. There's probably only one uploader providing the data for the KL area which limits the amount off traffic that can be seen. Quite a few other people have created a small software package using VNC as a backbone (www.kuawaitstorm.com & www.atcbox.com> VNC could be used to view KL data in a better format than Google Earth but likely exposes the sources IP address to the cyber-police here in Malaysia...and risking some time in Kamunting.

Gavin Andrew David 6 Report post Posted January 10, 2009 The person streaming the information is having some problems with reliabilities on his box ... I'm sure he'll overcome that problem in the near future .... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert 0 Report post Posted January 10, 2009 I did see it work once in East Malaysia when Steve sent a feed. After that nothing has been seen. http://www.malaysianwings.com/forum/index....c=8696&st=0 I know that not all aircraft can be picked up. Which ones in this part of the world can be seen (feed providing)?
