Suggestions for AFF Flight Tracker

[crm911]

I can't find an obvious place for asking about AFF Flight Tracker, but here goes:

• Can we add an airline code "RAAF" - I have some trips done on RAAF planes
• Can we add Boeing 707 - see above

I believe you can add both yourself. Simply click the plane logo at the end of the Carrier line and you can add all the RAAF details for adding RAAF flights. As for aircraft type, just type in whatever you like and once you save it, it's in there.

Not sure if it's in admin's control, but I've noticed with serfty's new signature, over a million miles looks odd in the image, no comma after the first digit in his total. Perhaps that can be fixed?

That worked just like a bought one. Thanks! I have a lot of flights to add manually.

I'm a little surprised that there's no radio button for status run.


I'd also like to change V Australia Airlines to Virgin Australia. VA codes show V Australia airlines but DJ codes (when it was Virgin Blue) show Virgin Australia.

Can we add TGN as an airport?

You can tag the flights as part of a "trip", I have tagged my flights to AFF7 as an example for you.

Interesting, this exposes a bug, as clicking the trip myself taken me to an openflights.org URL instead of openflights.AFF

Can we add TGN as an airport?

If you know where it is, you can add it.

I had a look on the web and TGN points me to LTB (Latrobe Valley Airport - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) most often, is it the same airport?

If so, here are the details, just click "Add as new", although you may want to change TGN in the example to LTB. http://www.airservicesaustralia.com/aip/current/ersa/FAC_YLTV_7-Mar-2013.pdf

Ability to add flights for airlines and airport codes that no longer exist for historical flights. e.g. Air Rhodesia/ Salisbury Airport. I know it is now Air Zimbabwe/ Harare but it wasn't back when I was in that neck of the woods.

You can already, in the From

or To

fields you can enter a historical airport, just can't use the current airport code as it'll already be is use. I have Kai Tak marked on my flight map (zoom into the region and you'll see it listed as a private airport).

You can also do the same at Carrier

, but again, don't use the two-letter code that you would have in the past, when setting it up. You can use the correct details for the flight number section, they don't have to match.
