Someone said they watched me on FSACARS on a recent flight. I tried to watch myself on a short flight tonight and noticed that it does not seem to update itself. After waiting about 5 minutes, I hit the refresh button on IE (then had to re-zoom back in! ??? ) to see if I'd moved. I had (as I well knew! :;): ).
Recent flights were online. Is it supposed to refresh regularly? Often?
Should the aircraft icon be pointing in the right direction?
I guess I'm used to ServInfo and expect the same.
Don't go out of your way to fix it - I'm just wondering if it's doing what it's supposed to. I know that hopefully eventually it will show the entire flight line as some programs do with Google Earth now.
Hey Rob,
These are things to come in the future hopefully....
1) Plotting your actual direction of aircraft
2) Plotting your actual flight route already completed from start to current position
The auto refresh typically happens I think every 2 or 5 minutes (can't remember what we set it to in the google map). Unfortunately yes, you have to zoom back in again as it does not remember your last zoomed in position. Might be something I will look at in the future but let me tell ya Google Map programming is a might bit challenging to say the least!
Cheers!
