SmartView

SmartView is a very useful tool which allows you to follow specific aircraft or airlines.

Click on the Setup button to open the Fleet Watch Setup input window. Individual aircraft registrations, or airline ID can be entered with "*" being used as a wildcard to allow groups of aircraft to be seen. Click Apply Changes to activate. When the SmartView tab is selected (see above) only those aircraft that meet the criteria in the Fleet Watch Setup window will show in the Fleet Watch aircraft list. It you select Show Only Feet Watch Flights on Map, then all other flights will be filtered out

METAR, TAF and Auto QNH Settings

Also available at the top of the SmartView window, is the Select Airport option. This allows weather for a specific airfield to be displayed and for the map to be centered on that airfield. The QNH (atmospheric pressure at airfield level, adjusted to mean sea level) can also be set for the selected airfield.
