Wheeler,

See this link to Bones site:

http://www.homepages.mcb.net/bones/Kinetic/Kinetic_Utilities.htm

The outline for Jersey is included in the UK & Ireland airspace file, but if you just want Jersey, you can download the 1 May 2008 update which only has around 4 outlines including Jersey.

I don't think that anybody has done Guernsey yet, why don't you have a go - see the FAQ here:

There is also a link to Bones site on the AirNav Utilities website:

Trouble is, Google Earth's Guernsey is pretty fuzzy and cloud covered. Perhaps with the help of a good map...

PS Don't look at me...!

Talk about living under a cloud :-)

In fact I was wrong, EGJB Guernsey is included in the UK airspace Zip file on Bones' page.  It's file name is APF_EGJB_Guernsey.out

Here, borrow my glasses :-)

Bones website:

http://www.homepages.mcb.net/bones/Kinetic/Kinetic_Utilities.htm

Outline Files Airspace - UK and Ireland Airspace - go to the bottom of this first section:

Unzip the file that you have downloaded:

(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3016/2463880946_3f4b3c8cdf.jpg)

Put the APF_EGJB_Guernsey.out file into you Outlines directory.

Of course, you might be looking for RadarBox specific files, whereas this page says SBS-1, but the outline file can be used with both boxes.

What I didn't say was that I created a new outline for Guernsey, but when I went to install it, I saw that it was already there in the Outlines directory from Bones' download - maybe I need new glasses :-)

Many thanks will do what i have to and try it but most of the aircraft that come to guernsey don't transmit the data, might pick up one now and again g-manh Atlantic airways that is the only one, but i see Blue islands airways have either bought a BA jet or leasing it as i have seen it on the apron and my daughter went to Jersey Friday and thats the one they used
once again thanks
