A20DEK - go to the App store on your Mac and search for Flight Radar 24 and it will come up. Download and install and you are good to go!

Cheers,
Chuck

Many thanks Chuck. I have installed the FR24 software and it works fine for Civil.

What I wish to download now is the military version. How do I do this and will it work on a MAC

Many thanks

Derek

Hi Derek,

As far as I'm aware there isn't a MLAT version of FR24. Some form of it is currently being trialled in certain countries but the finished article isn't there yet. I'm sure there are more clued up people who will be able to give a more detailed answer.....I hope!

What mil version? The only way to view military aircraft is if you have a premium account and are using the website. See the link I posted above.

Derek,
I have a Mac and I use FR24 through Safari- not through the App Store. I also have a premium account and I love it. It works perfectly on a Mac and I am able to view aircraft on MLAT.

Definitely worth buying :thumbs: I wouldn't worry about it not be capable on a Mac.

Just been watching A C-17 heading out over the Bristol Channel. Only position and type of aircraft was showing. No serial number showing.

All,

There are already a couple of threads in the Mode S section relating to FR24 and their recently enchanced functionality including a guide from Chris.

Please check out the sub forum - viewforum.php?f=12
