Do you need to be near a mayjor airport in order to get the most out of RB?

Me too.  But I can (or could before my aerial preamp failed!) see aircraft all around me for about 250 miles in my own right,  and also aircraft anywhere in the world where there is a RadarBox operating.

Presumably you are interested in aviation and have some idea of flight routes around you?

I Live Like 90 Miles From The Nearest Airport :(

Thanks

I live about 150 miles from London Heatherow, but I can still see all the traffic using the RadarBox Network. See my FTP upload page here - give it 5 minutes to update as I've only just turned the PC on.

Interesting route, that Shamrock 244 - EIDW - EGJJ via?

Strange, I always thought the Heathrow runways were parallel  :-)

Good enough for government work........

They're parallel on Cartesian projection, but look slightly off in Mercator. I'm sure somebody clever could explain this :-)

Ha, just zoomed in and out and not they're parallel - the wonders of modern science!

I've got height filters in to get rid of everything above 15,000ft to reduce the clutter a bit.
