In 2017 and 2019 I made timelapse videos of all 747 traffic recorded here over a 24 hour period.
I don’t dare to do it again, I suspect it would be largely empty,

Lufthansa is still operating a good fleet of their 747. And there are of course lots of 747 freighters over europe (e.g. Luxemburg Cargo or Atlas)
Maybe i am doing something…
Right now over Europe:

I suppose I could do it again but it would look a lot better if my VRS hadn’t gone titsup.
Only seeing there here.
I could do it using adsbx but it doesn’t seem to show tracks and the update rate is a lot slower.
Is that a bug @wiedehopf, with the T button selected, no tracks on adsbx?
Same here. Maybe the option is removed to not overload the map?
I’ve discovered it’s not like my own tar1090 instance, when I turn on tracks, it doesn’t show historic ones, the tracks start building.

Sure, we still track plenty on our receivers but we don’t eyeball very many nowadays because they aren’t arriving and departing from airports we go to any more.
They fly over our house at cruising altitude now and then but quite often it is dark outside.
Not like at my in-law’s house when they used to regularly fly over low enough to read the registration numbers.

Tracks are loaded per plane, that would usually kill the browser if you do that on globe.
openLayers doesn’t like that many lines.
Also other reasons.
Why not use replay, easier for recording:

I mean, just install a VRS?
If you’re gonna use your own tar1900, dim the map, it’ll look much better.
You can reduce the map dim applied in the config.js … it it’s too much dim for you.

That was absolutely fascinating.

This popped up on my YouTube feed, it’s very recent and seemed appropriate for here.
