@MrSilverWolf so uhh hey, sorry for the tag but i found a game that uses simpleplanes videos to advertise their game, maybe you could reach out to jundroo to do something about this
Probably doesn’t have ADSB out on the aircraft or is flying too low in that region for it to be picked up for it to be displayed
Probably nothing
@WisconsinStatePolice no military thingies nearby or anything
Also, not every airplane is required to have ADS-B Out, or even a transponder. Some smaller aircraft still don't have these, and aren't required to have them if they conform to certain regulations. Or, you could be hearing an ultralight or hang glider or something, but I don't know much about those. Also, many military aircraft have transponders that aren't picked up by the normal civilian (non-NAS associated) systems, like a commercial antenna for something like flight radar. Additionally, several local and federal law enforcement agencies and homeland security agencies could have surveillance or SIGINT aircraft that they may choose to hide or request to be hidden from being displayed on sites.
can you tell me anything else? Are there military airfields nearby, or R&D sites or anything?
That is true, but from my experience, setting it to private still shows the aircraft but just blanks out all the information fields. There are ways to get around this, though.....
I think some people manually set their planes to private on flight tracker so randos can't track them. Or something like that
@WisconsinStatePolice Sounds like a cessna, i havent visually seen it fly, i just hear it, lets say like flies by like at 500 meters
Also, gimme a salt report pls, based on visual or just audible indications.
Size, Activity, Location, and times.
Also if you can tell engine count, type of engine, or even type of aircraft that would be extremely helpful. Is it always the same? Is it a helicopter? Does it come and go in a matter of a few seconds as if it is down super low like buzzing?
@WisconsinStatePolice i can track all planes in my state, and i have the default settings
Ah, my time to shine
What are your settings on the app? Are all transponders selected? Are they blocked by a paywall? How is coverage in your area, can you track other planes?
