Flight tracking with LiveATC
« on: May 06, 2010, 01:18:17 PM »
Is there a software or website that offers to track a specific & detailed flight information with a list of all the frequencies while listening to those frequencies that flight is currently broadcasting on and everytime that flight changes frequencies, (almost like a ''follow me'' feature)?

Not quite yet, but something will emerge at some point.  ;-)

Oooh that would be so cool.  Really useful when you have relatives flying in from out of state.

If the need ever arises, I'd be more than happy to beta test.

Beta-testing is kind of like what Boeing is doing right now with the Dreamliner, putting it into the hands of a few people who can fly it under real-life circumstances, seeing if there are any bugs to work out, or if anything breaks.

In the case of software, like a flight tracker, a set number of people representing several different operating systems, browsers, etc. would be tasked with putting the software through all its functions, making sure everything works correctly before unleashing it on the general public. It's much better to find & fix issues with a small control group, rather than hearing about problems from 6000 people who may or may not document well enough to easily fix the situation.

Edited to add: This may be the only time I'm actually able to ANSWER a question here. :-)
