Real-time air traffic

[Postit2019]

Hello,

I don't see any real-time air traffic. I can't see any airplanes at airports, which are present according to Flightradar. Is there anything I need to be aware of?

This is not a bug. 🥲

Currently, there's no aircraft data provider for Streets GL. The problem is that the app needs to fetch aircraft data with small delays basically 24/7. Not every data provider is willing to allow this kind of extreme usage. Also, it's crucial to have good coverage in airports as this is the only place where you can easily spot aircraft.

The best candidate for this is https://adsbexchange.com, but unfortunately their API is incredibly expensive. I've tried to communicate with them but haven’t received any response.

I've also talked with the creator of https://adsb.lol, but they require me to install a receiver to get access to the API, and I'm not sure if I'm going to do this. Also, their coverage is not so great in airports.

There are OGN for small aircraft, and openskynetwork suits for almost real-time traffic rendering.
