live watch bug?

[Rafal Zielinski]

Hello

I've read few topics about live watch here, but one thing wonders me, and I don't know is it a bug or the way it should be. Ok get to the point. When I'm loged on our website and go to flight reports to see live watch who's flying and where I can see all. I mean I see flight numbers see the whole flight drawn on the map. But when I do this offline I see the active flights numbers on the right, and when I'm click on them the maps move but I dont see any planes or flights drawn. Should it be this way or is it a bug?

Greetings

But when I do this offline ... the maps move but I dont see any planes or flights drawn.

By "offline" do you mean, um .. offline, as in "no internet connection", or do you mean logged out? If you look at the map and you cut off your internet connection it is not possible anymore to retrieve the acars data from the server. In that case the flights will disappear after a few seconds. But also the flight list on the right should diappear because both are dynamically refreshed.
If you have an active internet connection there shouldn't be any difference between logged in or off.

Something that can happen, very rarely though, is that someone flies a charter and one airport is not listed in our database. In that case you'll see a flight tag on the right but no path on the map.

After all, it's not a bug but a feature

Yes I mean I LOG OUT NOT go offline. My fingers didn't followed my brain :lol: Sorry

Hm, as I said, there shouldn't be a difference in map display between being logged in or out. To me it never happened, except for the rare case mentioned above.
If you see this happen more often, please send or post a screen shot, next time. Thx
