bratters, instead of turning your Radarbox off, why not just turn of auto-downloaded routes - Preferences-Radarbox-AutoPopulate Route Data-OFF. I wouldn't let the route download problem force you to stop using your Radarbox.
It's basically this Tarbat. I want to switch on my box and see flights into/ex local airports - egnx, egcn, egbb egcc - using the simple expedient of filtering by "Airport."
As you know this should, theoretically, show onscreen only those flights routing to/from my selected airport. As you also know, what actually appears varies from absolutely nothing (even though there are flights visible to the naked eye) to a wierd and wonderful collection of flights whose fightpaths bear no relation to their supposed routes - a classic of its kind being the Volga Dnepr above. How could you possibly know where that was coming/going without gluing yourself to the screen? That's the way you miss 'em.
If I work by individual "Airlines" filter the results are obviously the same.
Say for example I look by Airport for a specific incoming from Europe and I pick up on RYR11 with EGNX shown as destination. However it is clearly heading in the wrong direction. I then filter by Airline and find RYR12 shown as heading for Dublin but looking like an option until it turns on to Stansted approach. So now I'm left with 2 or 3 more RYRs which have no routes at all and follow them for a while.
Same on takeoffs - it's the busy period with many flights going up but little or no way of knowing what's what with most of them until they are well into the trip. I just get frustrated and pack it in.
If you know of a workround, please tell me.
