Maltese aircraft not showing on SBS

[spotting]

Hi all

I run my SBS through the FlightAware dongle.

I have noticed that I am not picking up the newer Maltese Aircraft ie. Vistajets after 9H-VCR and the three Eurowings that have visited LHR this
month or any WIZZ MALTA the only one that shows is 9H-WAA and plenty plenty more.

Is everybody having the same problem or is there something I need to do

Hope someone can help

Hi Colin,

I’m not an expert on this field but I’ve been having similar issues with my ADU/HISI. Think it’s the central database that hasn’t been updated and it should clear within a few days. I gave up using my own SBS years ago because of the collapse of the Gatwick Aviation Society web facility. 

Hopefully you’ll see an improvement shortly.

Meanwhile some other member(s) may be able to offer a more scientific answer, but good luck.

Hi Colin

I use ADS-B, FR24 and PlanePlotter and can't say that I've noticed anything missing but then again, if it was missing, I wouldn't see it anyway. I've certainly been seeing the various 9H- frames you mention on my VRs including many of the latest when I paid a visit to northern Italy in mid January. I don't really know anything about using boxes but as Bill says, it must be to do with the SQB files or whatever it is they use not being updated.
