Spotter guide

Watch the video: The live map

Every airport page on Vaeroly has a Spotter guide: the Vaeroly flights due to land there in the next hour. Load the airport in your simulator, park somewhere with a view of the runway and watch them come in.

Use it

1. Open an airport's page, for example from a route or a booking (the address is /airports/ followed by the ICAO code).
2. Scroll to Spotter guide. It lists each flight's callsign, airline, aircraft type, where it comes from and when it's expected.
3. The Runway column shows the runway from the pilot's SimBrief plan, marked planned. When the plan doesn't name one, it says not known yet.
4. Keep the page open: the list updates itself every minute.

Times are estimates from each flight's position and ground speed, so a flight in a hold or on a long approach lands later than shown. A flight drops off the list once it has landed.

What it shows, and what it doesn't

The guide shows only a callsign, the airline, the aircraft type and where it's going. It never shows a pilot's name or ID.

Pilots who ticked Hide my flights from other pilots' live maps on their profile are never listed. Only airlines that switched the Spotter guide on appear.

For staff

Switch it on under Staff → Airline settings → Optional features → Spotter guide. It's off until you turn it on. Once it's on, your airline's flights show on the page of the airport they're flying to, for signed-in pilots of every airline.
