Orbx has recently updated their flight tracking platform to version 1.10, adding a lot of highly-requested features. 

The new update has brought profile and aircraft screenshot galleries, where users can check out the gallery with all of the screenshots that they posted, as well as all the screenshots that were posted while flying a certain airframe. Other additions related to screenshots are that users can now add descriptions and tags to screenshots, and while looking at screenshots in galleries, a line containing various information about the flight during which the picture was taken will be displayed.

Another highly awaited and requested feature is the user’s average landing rate. You will also be able to filter the flights based on landing rates. If someone isn’t quite satisfied with the landing rate they had on a certain flight, hiding it is also another new feature! Clicking on the landing icon gives you an option to hide the landing. 

Other new features include a new section in the ‘Statistics’ section of a flight showing which sim was used, the ability to filter the flight map based on the sim flown in, as well as setting a custom SimBrief airframe to a certain aircraft in your fleet. 

The full changelog from Orbx is as follows:

• Added screenshot galleries on profiles, showing all the screenshots you have. You can filter them based on the flight and sort them based on newest/oldest and likes.
• Added screenshot galleries to aircraft pages, showing all the screenshots that have been taken while flying that aircraft.
• Improved the screenshot viewer by adding a link to the flight and the ability to write a description and add tags.
• Added average landing rates to profiles.
• Added the landing rate to the preview of each flight when viewing them on the flights page or somebody’s profile.
• When viewing a flight, each landing can be clicked to hide or unhide it. Hidden landings won’t count as the landing rate for the flight or for the profile average.
• Added landing rate above and below filters to flights.
• Flights can now be sorted based on landing rates (worst to best or best to worst).
• You can now set the Simbrief custom airframe ID on an aircraft, which will be sent when dispatching through Simbrief. You can also copy the ID from another aircraft in your fleet by clicking the search icon.
• Flight lines on the flights list and user profiles now have a thickness corresponding to the the number of flights between the two airports.
• Added a map filter for simulators. You can now filter for live flights on the map flying “MSFS” or “XP” (or “XP12” to be more specific) for example.
• Added which simulator the user is flying on on active flights.

‍Volanta is a free flight tracker that can be used with all popular flight simulators (MSFS, XP11/12, P3D, FSX, FlightGear, DCS, and Aerofly).
