Still don't get the point of real time network.....snip.....
I stress, of course, that this is just my personal planespotter view.
I take an entirely different view, I have never been a planespotter in that I am not interested in seeing an logging or photographing aircraft individually, or writing registrations anywhere at all.
What I am interested in is the flow patterns of traffic either locally or in remote places and the ability to investigate individual aircraft if I feel like it.
For me, the real-time networking is perfect because I dislike any distortion of reality, expecially for specious "official" reasons.
Naturally we're all allowed to decide our own path and pay, or not, for what we want.
Great isn't it? ;-)
