RadarBox24.com Beta Launched

Why I think RadarBox24 has missed the boat.

Maybe were can track it on Ship Trax.

Talking of ST, just noticed no-one has posted anything on the Air Nav ST site since 6th October.  That could mean one of two things, everyone is fed up with Brandao's antics or hardly anyone has a box.  My guess is that it's both.

Just discovered that AirNav's found another "volunteer" to support RadarBox24.

"Probably it's a good idea here to create new side views or 3D liveries ourselves and send it to AirNav?

I do it for a long time and really enjoy AirNav support in this.  At least two dozens of new side views for Russian carriers were displayed in the past week on RB24. And the delay between my sending and displaying is just a few hours.

I am working right now on the next package."

Compare.

Facebook pages for RadarBox24, Planefinder.net and Flightradar24.com.

A week later, RadarBox24 gets another 51 likes, Planefinder 167 and Flightradar24 3,004.

No contest.

These domains isn't loading the RadarBox24 tracking site anymore. It's still down today!
Shouldn't take this long to get all the RB24 domains working correctly.

I wonder how long it will be before most of the airnav brigade turn to the cheaper dongle. At least they will be able to mlat for free.

Boy would that be a sting in the tail for Airnav, not being able to get free info

[Anmer]

My guess is that 70% of RadarBox and SBS owners don't visit forums and are blissfully unaware of the newer, competing products or the AirNav server problems.

Ooops forgot to include it on my site. I will sort that out tonight, giving it a good report.

We all know that Air Nav are economical with the truth so I would view these figures with a large pinch of salt.

What were the odds of all three rounding to whole thousands at the same moment in time?  Amazing.

Strange, no reply to this post on the RB24 Facebook page:

" I bought your receiver back in 2008. If I remember correctly it used to be about 400-550 feeders connected to the network at that time. Today there are about 280-440 according to RadarBox Network (my box is broken so I can't check)

But you claim that you have "10 000 RadarBox units streaming Real-Time flight data"

Where are all these feeders? How come that the number has decresed if RadarBox is "The world's most popular Mode-s - ADS-B receiver" and you claim that "AirNav Flight Tracker Software - The Most Trusted Name In Flight Tracking"?

I've just checked the AirNav sharer stats and there's another remarkable coincidence.

The stats for today exactly match those for 2nd January 2013.  Amazing.

*Wonder if those two items will be released on time*

[Sun Worshipper]

It's always fatal when Air Nav give actual dates for planned releases.

I could cite past misdemeanours but it would run to a very long list.

My advice would be don't believe ANY dates that come from Air Nav, they are pure works of fiction (aka lies).

Hi Guys,
Just came across RadarBox24.com - Pure ADS-B Flight Tracker
Great site if you want to track flights which are sending ADS-B data in Europe and FAA tracked flights in the US. Just spent ages watching the skies across the UK and middle east, soo many Emirates flights

akzah = AirNavSupport person... but doesn't talk about RB24 on his own site for some unknown reason
Akbar Sherwani - Developer Blog "Radarbox" view hasn't been updated since 2011 !!!
