Hi All,
Some of you may have come across www.flightaware.com as a way to track IFR
flights. It uses data from the FAA radar system and provides products
(free and commercial) based on it. The data is quite detailed -
minute-by-minute lat/long/altitude and speed along with aircraft type,

Hi All,
I've been working on an update to the c182. Improvements over previous
version:
- Increase in texture resolution and improved textures. Now has a nice
blue pin-stripe down the side.
- Minor model improvements - pitot tube, wing struts, exhausts,
cowl-flaps, re-size of controls.

Hi All,
I was doing a bit of digging around with tools like flight-aware -

along with their actual altitude, assigned altitude and speed.

Two small updates for the c182 and c310 to put back in the flight surface

runway) but is basically a guess.
