Hello all,
I worked through some of the entries in the tracker tonight and fixed
the flightview search. If you have httpinst installed you can update
with:
httpinst /u fv
Otherwise, you can replace it with the attached file and reload (!).
This version adds two additional syntaxes to the search, and fixes the
original search as well. And adds a little more documentation.
Syntax:
fv [airport]
fv [airline] [flight number]
fv [airport] [airport] [time]
Examples:
fv aa 2035
fv sx 341
fv jfk
fv slc
fv jfk slc m
fv jfk slc night
fv jfk den 16
Regards,
Shawn K. Hall

Obtain real-time info on commercial flights. Type the two letter airline code followed by the flight number. Airline codes can be obtained from the drop down box on <a href="http://www.flightview.com";>www.flightview.com</a>.
<br/><br/>
Even though flightview has airline codes for airlines throughout the world,
I believe they only track flights in U.S. and Canadian airspace. Also, the
flight you enter must be "active" - usually this seems to mean from an hour
or two before takeoff until an hour or two after landing.
<br/><br/>
Airline and Airport codes can be entered in upper or lower case.
