Interesting HamWest, I didn't know it was possible to display non ABS-B movements.

Any idea how the data is displayed? Is it based off filed fight plans or is there another way for mode S transponders to be uplinked to the web?

Hello New Zealand!

We need your help to increase Flightradar24's ADS-B coverage in New Zealand.

For this purpose we have 25 DVB-T sticks (low-cost equipment that can be used to receive and feed ADS-B data to Flightradar24) that we will send for free to New Zealand volunteers that:
- Have read through the instructions here http://www.flightradar24.com/dvbt-stick
- Have a Windows or Linux computer that you keep online most of the time
- Agree to use the DVB-T stick solely for feeding ADS-B data to Flightradar24

That's just what I was looking for when I started this thread - ta very much.

Still exploring the workings of this, but my initial thoughts are that it refreshes itself, somewhere between every 15 secs / and or a minute, according to the instructions.
Seems to have a possible 5 minute delay - assuming flights take off on time. A bit fiddly to come to grips with but certainly shows the flights, very interesting.

May be of interest to someone?
