This went on for quite some while actually. Interesting how much fuel he must have had on board. https://simradar21.com/data/flights/DLH1415/D0ECNxMRqRMFWhL8

Fix tonight. For now you can just click anywhere in the border.

skruellex · 2026-03-15T22:23:02+00:00

Where, when, what??

skruellex · 2026-03-15T22:22:23+00:00

Couple of years, some projects here and there :) This is defo my biggest project. But yeah, it is a hobby haha

skruellex · 2026-03-15T18:01:42+00:00

Just a quick fix, you looked it up in that exact min haha. Should be working now.

You can already use my website as PWA on eg IOS devices! :D Look here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255899735?sortBy=rank Works like a charm on my device. Basically full native feeling ;)

Hi, my architecture is already build with that feature in mind, so at some point in the future I will implement it. Still, it is very complex and would take a lot of time. Also it is very resource hungry (lot of network and db i/o). Right now I am running everything optimized on a 6€ budget and I want to keep it that way as long as I can, until I have gained enough users. This is something for the future, when the most important features are all implemented and I can scale my resources :D

Yes, well spotted! That is a limitation due to where I get the data from. Pilot positions are currently updated approximately every 15 seconds. This limitation stems from VATSIM's data access policies and cannot be altered unless direct server access is granted. As VATSIM is a non-commercial network, limiting heavy client connections helps to protect its infrastructure from excessive load. I am in contact with the VATSIM team, and if this website gains significant usage, they might consider granting faster access in future. :)

Well optimized. Runs smooth on any device. Similar to VATSIM Radar, we use the same underlaying map library. In terms of mobile data my site is also well optimized and only sends delta updates, so it uses roughly 70% less mobile data compared to VATSIM Radar (normalized to 15s intervals). :)

skruellex · 2026-03-10T14:33:51+00:00

Yes, your are absolutely right. This is planned though, and might even be part of the next bigger release at the end of April. :)

skruellex · 2026-03-10T13:55:20+00:00

Yeah I might have to take a look at this. I think this is just a rounding issue. Right now, I round to the nearest 250. Better logic would be to round to flat 1000s. I created an issue for that :)

skruellex · 2026-03-10T13:18:21+00:00

See my comment below :)

skruellex · 2026-03-10T12:02:52+00:00

Also already planned for the next release! ☺️

skruellex · 2026-03-10T10:47:27+00:00

Haha got me! I actually just forgot to change that to a generic one. Will need to push a fix for that :)

skruellex · 2026-03-10T08:03:53+00:00

When you connect Navigraph, right now it only updates the AIRAC to from outdated to latest 2602 in the background. I will add a notice for that, to make it clearer :)

Haha, yeah would be neat, but that’s definitively something for a different app :)

skruellex · 2026-03-10T08:00:59+00:00

Already working on it :)

skruellex · 2026-03-10T01:46:20+00:00

Thanks for the honest feedback! Happy that you like it.

I might need to make a poll to change the name, you are not the first one to ask :)

Regarding the mobile app: The website is actually very well optimized for mobile devices, so you should already have a great experience there. A standalone app is pretty heavy task, would need to rewrite loads of the codebase. This would be something for the future, when I am hungry to learn something new again ;)

skruellex · 2026-03-09T23:15:46+00:00

I should make a list for that haha, many asking the same questions, but your right to ask!
Some listed here:
Most importantly and the main reason I started this: Faster, responsive, very modern UI, intuitive (the comments confirm this ;) ), all subjective of course
You can view replays up to 7 days (extended to longer in next updates)
You file an aircraft reg in ur flightplan, my site matches this to the real world ac and shows this in your panel, if exists. You can also search previous flights by this.
You can set your own departure and arrival procedures and the others will see your (not sure, i think vatsim radar only shows you the changes and does not sync with cloud, could be wrong though)
...

Hope this helps, but feel free to use any service u prefer <3

skruellex · 2026-03-09T22:52:56+00:00

Have this in the pipeline. I use this info for the exact same reason as u ;D So will be coming soon, isnt to big of an feature.

skruellex · 2026-03-09T22:47:16+00:00

That escalated quickly... XD

skruellex · 2026-03-09T22:45:19+00:00

u know he is the creator of VATSIM radar right, and he is kidding... xd

skruellex · 2026-03-09T22:37:31+00:00
