Good morning, everyone!
Hope you’re all doing well,
As promised, we’ve been busy behind the scenes and have started rolling out some exciting new enhancements to the radar.
If you’re accessing the radar on a desktop, you’ll notice a new scrolling bar at the bottom of the screen labelled VDL2. VDL2 is a digital data protocol transmitted directly by aircraft, and can carry a wealth of information, including diagnostics, ACARS messages, position reports, altitude data, and even real-time route updates — all decoded live as aircraft come into range.
How to use it:
Click on any aircraft on the radar, and if we’ve received a VDL2 message from it, the details will appear in the bar at the bottom. When a specific aircraft is selected, you’ll see SELECTED in the bottom right corner. To return to the full scrolling feed showing all received aircraft, simply click the ↺ refresh icon on the right-hand side.
This is currently a BETA feature on desktop only — mobile support is coming soon! We’ll be monitoring it closely for any issues, but we hope it adds an extra layer of detail and enjoyment to your radar experience.
As always, feedback is very welcome! 📷,
Have a good day/weekend!
