I remember a few months ago, I could follow aircrafts en route to the USA, all over the ocean until reaching Canada, now these days, most of the aircrafts vanish a few miles after Ireland, why ?

It sounds like you used to track planes shown in orange colour. That is FAA data with 5 min. delay. In settings you can enable or disable that option
Further more, if plane flight path is more to the south, there is no coverage. No ads-b radar= no coverage
More info in How it worksLast edited by Amper; 2014-04-23, 11:24.For official support use Contact Form

Most of the day you can see very few aircrafts in this region, its not that you cant see anything, but why do you only see 4 -5 aircrafts, when there are hundreds crossing the atlantic this region...

I'm in the Outer Hebrides and have had issues with my antenna for the last few months. Sometimes I would only get aircraft within 10 miles and after some messing with the connections that increased to 70 miles but it still wasn't good.
I replaced the antenna this week and found the old one had water inside it. The new one is now giving a range of up to 200 mile into the North Atlantic again so I hope that makes a small difference to what you're seeing.
