Or wrong Flight ID not reset by the crew?

I don't have EZY6497 in my routes database.  A Google search suggests that this flight is from Newcastle to Malta, and the return flight is EZY6498?

I do not know where you get your informations from.....

Look what FlightStats say about this today below. I think the plane was showed correctly on your RB screen. I saw an Air Malta enroute from Malta to Amsterdam on your screen as well....

Next time you should do some more research before complain on this.

i got my info from the program display as you can see from the screenies. i am not complaining for once. i just needed an explanation for a plane apparently off course.

Frank,

I think that there are a few questions here.  Firstly, the route shown by RadarBox depends upon the Flight ID.  The Flight ID is set by the aircrew, so there are a number of possibilities here:

- First, some of the routes you are showing are not in my database, so how did they get into your database?  Did you enter them manually, or did they autopopulate?

- If the crew have set the wrong Flight ID, or have not changed it for the next leg of the route, then it will give a wrong route

- Or of course, the location of the aircraft on your RB map might be wrong, but I think that this is the least likely of the possibilities.

i did not enter anything manually, i am not so skilled so it must have been an autopoulate thing.
if the crew did not change flight id then how do i get wrong coordinates and wrong displays on my map via direct reception. does the aircraft give out wrong coordinates? there is something i am missing and do  not understand well

I am sorry but I think the position is correct. Flight  TOM8BH  is  LIRN-EGCC so it looks the position is correct. I think your flight-database need some maintenance!

There is no mystery here. 

The AirNav server autopopulates EZY6497 as EGNT-LKPR (Newcastle-Prague) so if you don't have the correct Newcastle-Malta route in your local database that's what you'll get.

Well said John

Some people just love to focus on the negatives and forget about all the superb positive features of the radarbox!!
