Work with an assistant for detecting aircraft positions and decoding them on a chart. Generate a radar view mode with aircraft placed near you that are transmitting messages including ACARS, ADS-B and HFDL. Check out different view modes, such as aircraft lists, aircraft data windows, charts, ACARS messages, raw audio ACARS signals, etc.
PlanePlotter is a program that decodes and plots live digital position reports from aircrafts on a chart. It allows users to view a radar-like display of aircrafts around them that are transmitting ACARS, ADS-B, and HFDL messages.
v6.2 [Sep 19, 2011]
PlanePlotter plots aircraft positions, altitudes and times decoded from the message traffic that it receives. These include embedded position reports, AMDAR reports and ADS reports contained in ACARS messages, ADS-B position reports received by the Kinetic SBS1(tm) or AirNav System RadarBox(tm) Mode-S receivers, and position reports on HF using Charles Brain's PC-HFDL software. The plot can be superimposed on a suitable aeronatical chart that you have prepared, or PlanePlotter can download satellite imagery and plot the aircraft symbols on that. Where altitude information is available (eg Mode-S messages), you can select the data by altitude band to distinguish low level and high level traffic.
I have been using Epic Privacy Browser for a few months now and I must say that I am really impressed
