On http://www.flightradar24.com/#!/increase_coverage.php , I read
"There are 2 ways of sharing data with Flightradar24:
1. Simple, fast and easy - via PlanePlotter
2. Contact us and get our feeding software"
I started sharing with PlanePlotter, with a two characters identifier.
As it worked fine, and I wanted to set up as reliable stand-alone system that would stay on all day long, I asked for the "feeding software" (ModeS), which works also perfectly.
However, it looks like the data are not made available on flightradra24.com and on PlanePloter the same way with the two approaches. It seems to me I can see more of the planes received by my station when using the PlanePlotter sharing approach than using the "feeding software".
It is not clear to me what the links are between flightradar24 and PlanePlotter, who provides data to whom, etc.
Does it make sense to use both approaches at the same time (PlanePlotter sharing AND "feeding software") ? I read some posts about users having been banned for sharing with more than one network (if I understand correctly).
Could someone please clarify this ?
Thank you in anticipation.
