I do like Planefinder’s coverage displays created by their stats pages.
Nice coverage area!
PlaneFinder’s new client is very lightweight and easy to install. Info is here: forum.planefinder.net/threads/ne … hread.253/
I’m running FlightAware, FR24 and PlaneFinder on a Pi 2 and CPU load is around .6.
It’s much better than the Node-JS client they had before but it still wants too much CPU
(ignore the elapsed time colum, I’ve just started the pfclient anf fr24feed services … this is on a old PiB)

I am running it on a Pi 2 and don’t see as many aircraft as you do.

It pretty quiet now, aircraft-wise - Sunday morning.
