The RadarBox Realtime Network looks interesting! Good work Airnav.

[AirNav Development]

It is important to note that on the real-time network flights are updated each 20 secs (not 30 secs as with the 5 minutes delayed network) so any user will be able to see flights moving live all over the world.

Is the realtime network live for everyone, or is there a subscription/signup for it?

[FlightChaser]

Thanks for the info Airnav Dev. The Real-Time network feature looks cool. To see live flights  moving all over the world, brilliant. I like it :)

I think that it is great.  However I am interested to know what has changed from a "legal" point of view that now allows this to happen.  I thought the problem all along was that there was a supposed security issue - has that now been removed?  I am all for it, don't get me wrong, but why the sudden change?

Cheers

We have decided to release the real-time network after discussions with our legal team.

The Network is now real-time in graphical terms: all what you see (grids and maps) is in real-time.

Note that Raw data feed (30003 output port) used by a few users to send data to external applications, is still delayed 5 minutes (so no one will be able to feed external applications with raw data in real-time).

 So far real fine here in USA.
 I did upgrade install using Windows Vista and much
better results than last beta.
 All my previous data is there and getting more aircraft id's.
 No bugs yet.

 Thanks

Could you explain the situation regarding the new network as it applies to the free network subscription for the first year? Is it included in that or not?

And, once the first year is over, is the previous delayed network subscription still available? I note that the real-time network is about double the cost, so if the original offering is no longer available it means that anyone wanting network access will have to pay more.

You'll know if you're using the real-time network by the network connection icon:

I think a couple of points need clarifying for those of us who don't fully understand the implications.

How does  a user take advantage of this "real time" network?  It would seem it is a pre-requisite to have v3.06 installed - then what?  Is there a new sign-up procedure?  Is the first year without further cost?  Will our existing user details be sufficient to use this new version? These are questions we need to have firm answers to.

Also, is this TRUE real time throughout, or merely extrapolated projection?  Not a criticism, just asking.

OK, well now I've seen the order page I realise that the existing delayed network subscription is available still, however I'm not sure about whether this new beta continues to use the delayed network or whether by default it uses the real-time network. Is this selectable?

I ask because I'd like to be able to see the difference between the two services in terms of performance before I decide which one to choose.
