FlightMirage - Filter - Displaying aircraft on the map and only showing those
between certain heights.
My motive for writing the FlightMirage program was to be able to see and record
information about the many RAF helicopter and small training aircraft that
blight the area around my home and in Berkshire and Oxfordshire. It's not
that good because the RAF do not transmit the aircraft positions. The cynical
would say this is only to make it harder for noise campainers to gather evidence
against them. So you see the aircraft that are in your area and their identity but it
is not possible to plot their positions by using your radio receiver.
However web sites like ADSBExchange can use MLAT to determine aircraft positions
and you can get that information from them by using FlightMirage's Oneshot
function or downloading directly from the ADSBExchange website.
The filter menu lets you filter the aircraft by height. So for instance if
you were interested in nuisance RAF flights you can show only aircraft below
6000 feet because the RAF flights for helicopters and the RAF Grob airplanes
normally fly below that level. The other thing you can do is to show only
flights above 300 ft. This is to allow you to filter out aircraft that are
on the ground. The filter works on the map with live data from your USB
radio and also from Oneshot. It also works with JSON files in the Replay
mode.
