Yep, and that's really neat.
My point is it is obviously b.s. data. there are far too few aircraft being shown for it to be realistic.
- jjwiseman 11y agoadsbexchange.com collects data from volunteers, of which there are currently fewer than 500 around the world. One person can usually only pick up aircraft within a hundred miles or so. Many "interesting" aircraft don't broadcast their position, so you won't see them on a map unless they can be triangulated (actually multilaterated)--but that requires that multiple nearby volunteers receive their signals. That's why you don't see a lot of aircraft on the map, not a failure of realism.
- update 11y agoCool, I was just wondering why no one was mentioning the pink elephant in the room. > not a failure of realism. Actually it's exactly that. What you just said proves it. In reality, there are a lot more aircraft than being shown on that map due to the low number of volunteers and stealth nature of the aircraft.
