Howdy all,
Just wanted to give everyone an update on some changes I've made to FracTracker. Site usage dropped over the past few months due the necessary change in data providers, so if you gave up on the site, I can't say that I blame you. However, if you haven't tried it out in a few weeks, here is a quick run-down of the new additions:
1. Choice of 4 flight tracking options. After the crash last May, I'm not going to let you be at the mercy of a single data provider anymore. If one goes down you'll now have a few other options available.
2. A new Citation Shares tracking page! It's not an option on the main page just yet, but you can use it now by going to: http://citations.fractracker.com
3. A text only pop-up window which shows the last flight data for up to several weeks later...just like it used to be! (remember to hold down the CTRL or shift key if you've got pop-up stopper installed)
4. An option to view flight tracking data and moving maps from FBOweb (FracTracker's original data provider)
5. A new option to view a very nice java topographic moving map of flights in progress from Trip.com.
6. A link to tracking data from Flytecomm, which includes text data for each flight within the past 24 hours, and a radar/satellite composite map of flights in progress.
In addition to providing variety and site stability, each of these tracking options provides some type of unique feature which I felt shouldn't be excluded.
I'm presently working on other features which I hope you'll enjoy and find useful. If you have any suggestions, comments or questions, please don't hesitate to email me or post them here.
Remember to share FracTracker with your family and co-workers. Finally, a BIG thanks to everyone for thier support and patience over the past few months.
