V-Flyer

Added a new tool to the toolbox today - All Flights, which will show you the position and flight route of all Virgin Atlantic aircraft currently airborne.

Just because you can, and it's rather fascinating info really

Now that looks like a 'just because I can thing' but it makes it no less fabulous. Love it.

Now, the page needs a bigger world map view???

Cool!

You are spoiling us!

I'll add that feature, along with the ability to turn on and off labels like flight number, route path, etc, after drinkies in London today...

Perhaps with a link into Google Earth :w

It is a great tool as is! y)

You never cease to amaze with your skills for us all oo) oo)

The more I look at the All Flights tool, it makes me see a big gap in South America, bring on Rio and Buenos Aires!!!

Wow, this is so cool. Satisfies the aircraft geek within me!

Would be great to zoom in..

....do we ask too much :#

Wow, my geeky little heart is happy

It is fascinating just what you can do with lots of data.

How about animating this? - play back the previous day or week and see them all fly outward and inward ..... :w

That's a really good idea. Or how about selecting one aircraft then animating where it's been over the last X period?

Not sure how many frames you can link into an animated gif.
There may be a limitation that would make it too jerky for a long sequence.
A video would be possible but may be difficult to auto. generate.

Pete is going to love this.
He just finishes a load of work and we are already trying to load him up with more.. ):

Well this little thing proved it's worth, VS 12 diverted to IAD today, looks like JFK/EWR are a complete mess as usual.

Now does it show future flights as well :0

Love the new gadget, can see all the LGW and MAN racing to MCO. 8D

Some enhancements to the All Flights tool today. You can now turn on-and-off some of the display info, like rout paths, aircraft reg, take off time etc; and if you've got a mouse wheel you can use that to zoom into the image and then pan around.

Thanks Pete. Still love the view. I wonder if VS have something similar, I can see the despatch senior managers looking at this and taking a big sigh, relaxing, knowing all their aircraft are up and away to the destinations - now waiting for tomorrow's rush!

Great enhancements to a great tool!
y) ^) y) ^) oo)

Thanks, the new tool is great.

Love it! y)

Now have to request a third screen at work so I can have this tool up permamently. :w
