New feature: Proximity warning

[larsen]

Hi,

I think of some kind of proximity warning so when a certain kind of aircraft (A380) comes next to a specific location (your own position) you get a notification (by mail).
Would this be possible?

There are no plans to implement alerts in web version, only in apps.
iOS app have support today.
Android will have soon.
MAC/WIN8 apps may have in the future.

Ok, thx for the info.

That's an awesome idea! It would give me just enough time to ready my camera and take a photo of that big IL-96.

From what I can see the custom alerts in-app purchase doesn't look to allow you to set a "proximity warning". Is this correct?

It would be great to have this option, and to have it work such that you can set a proximity alert for a kind of aircraft or just a general proximity alert so that if you are in the mood for plane watching you can know when any plane is nearby your area.

Thanks!!

Woah. This is over 3 years old..

But in my premium app allows for localised alerts based on reg or callsign etc. It has a select map area function

I don't think I differs from the add-on?

Ya sorry, I know this is an old thread. It came up in Google in my search, thought I should continue the discussion since there never was a conclusion.

Only problem is what I'm seeing is what I thought right, the only trigger is reg or callsign? You have to have one of those set right? There is no way to just trigger it based on region (proximity) and/or aircraft type as original thread started with?

Thanks!

Hi onetrev,

It is possible to set an alert for an aircraft based on type, flight number, registration or airline based on a specific location. To do this however, you'll have needed to purchase the in-app purchase of Alerts. If you've done this select the drop down menu at the top left hand corner -> Select Alerts -> Select the '+' symbol -> Then set your alert type -> Then select 'Alert region', 'Global' and change to 'Local'. After changing this choose the 'Select area' button and then adjust the zoom-level to whatever you desire. After this select the back arrow at the top left, then the 'Done' tick.

I hope this helps and sorry for the long explanation. If you have any further questions feel free to email us a support@fr24.com

Well I took the leap and just purchased this feature. I now own all 3! Unfortunately this is definitely not what I was asking for. As per my question, is there a way to trigger the alert ONLY based on region? And the answer I can say now is no. You have to put in one of the four options, Flight, Reg, Airline, Aircraft Type. It does not appear to just let you set a general airplane in your region alert. In the end no biggie, happy to support this app anyway, but it would be great to have this option... please!!

Also, would be cool if you could enable / disable triggers, rather than delete them. Maybe you only want them running sometimes.

Thanks again either way!

Best you could do is load it up with the interesting/more common callsign wildcards and then types with the region specified.

It allows for quite a few

Hi onetrev,

Sorry for misunderstanding your proximity alert inquiry and thanks for the feedback. One of our next major task's for the Android app is to look at alerts and how we can improve them and also make them more user friendly. I'll be sure to pass this feedback along so it's considered! We really do appreciate your support and suggestions, thanks again.
