Hi Tom

It's the standard aerial that comes with the Radarbox and it's on the windowsill.

We have a number of airways directly above my location and USAF Military transports are going over on a daily basis at frequent times mainly C-17's and
C-5's.

Whats the best setting for all the filters anyway - what do you have "Quick Filter" set to ? Not sure which filter to have as their are so many...

John,

Ghost 71 was operating close to you in AARA13 today. I tracked him in PP for over 2 hours. He was squawking 3671 because  he was under Aberdeen control.

The squawks can be confusing unless you know the region the ac is in. 3640-3677 covers Aberdeen and 3660-3677 covers Solent App.

But not for much longer !

Now that V3 is released, AirNav have said they will turn their attention to fixing the incorrect aircraft details/photo bug once and for all.

Correct - although the CTM ICAO code is specifically France's Military Air Transport Command (Commandement du Transport Aerien Militaire Francais), as opposed to the generic French Air Force/Force Aerienne Francais ICAO code FAF which you will see used by, for example, the E-3s.
