Dear Sir/Madam,

thanks a lot for updating VAT-Spy.

I have a feature request:

Can you please enable the user to filter for a specific flight on the map?

Rationale: The user would be able to hide all flights except his/her own flight - hence "declutter" the map.

Thanks a lot.

Kind regards

That's already available in the filters window. See https://vatspy.rosscarlson.dev/#docs

Thanks for helping me.

I am able to highlight a specific flight by using the filter:

However, I don't know how to remove the other flights on the map.

@Ross Carlson Dear Mr. Carlson, could you implement a function which removes all flights on the map except one specific/selectable flight? That would be great. Thanks a lot. Kind regards - Jens

I doubt that I would ever add this ... definitely not something I would use, and it seems like it wouldn't be useful to the majority of the user base. Why do you feel this is necessary?

The reason is that I would like to see only my own aircraft on the map.

The current filter only allows me to highlight a specific flight. I still see the other flights.

Why is it bad to see the other flights?

That defeats the purpose of VAT-Spy. What it sounds like you are after is a moving map which shows online ATC, there are many programs and apps out there that will do that for you.

Honestly speaking, you're right. Yes, I use VAT-Spy as a moving map containing ATC info. Because I had compared all of the many programs and found out that I personally liked VAT-Spy most. Please foregive me 🙂
