Hello Mate :hello:

Yes.. it's always said I needed the plugin so I downloaded it. It then says I need to restart my browser which I do but still, no cockpit view :dunno: I'm not fussed really as I only look on there high days and holidays.. usually when my Uncle and Aunt go on holiday! :lol: I was going to get a shot as they flew over on approach a couple of weeks ago. I grabbed the camera and dashed outside.. nothing. Went back in and FR24 showed they turned early 8) :lol:

If you are using IE, you should get a prompt at the top asking whether to run the plugin. Click and answer yes.

While we're on the subject of FR24, can someone please tell me how to lock the aircraft to the scenery

Yours technophobically ( and ignorantly ) !

I think you mean lock the scenery to the aircraft?

Select the aircraft and click on the "4 arrows" button:

I use the free ScreenHunter 5.1 for screen capture.

Also, make sure aircraft animation on the main settings is check or it updates in a series of jerks which look smooth at a wide area but to come in close you need that.
