I've been using this tool to view my traffic as it travels around the World...Here are some shots I took today in Alaska, as I followed from McLeland Field to Anchorage:-
The other eight shots can be seen here:-

Yes it is really a great tool...The big advantage over the MS TrafficTools > Explorer is that the board is a "User Aircraft" that attaches itself to your Target. Thus there is no range limit because you are always in the centre of the active AI zone and don't fly off the edge as you do in Explorer. Also it shows your target's position in FSNav and AIBlast remains centred on your target instead of broadcasting the sounds from back at your fixed base. You can still use the old explorer to look at the traffic in the now MOVING zone and if you wish, you can jump ship to some passing traffic of interest and continue on with it to it's own destination.
Here is that National Jet arriving back at base:-

Lovely pictures, Peter. Your new PC is certainly giving you your money's worth. Incredible detail and quality.
It looks like you're having some fun with the Traffic View Board. I expect you're too exhausted after all your installation to do much flying. It looks like you're taking a well-deserved back-seat for a bit and letting the AI pilots earn their keep.
I don't suppose their AI Pilot's Union will be too pleased about the boss popping up next to them anywhere in the world without notice!

I guess they will have to get used to it Ian.
Yes, but I am looking forward to getting back to McMurdo Ice Station to get my 757 out of there and back round to Base via NZ and Johnston Atoll...I have got the Traffic version working now and flying the whole MagPole Great Circle. So when I get really old and too tired to actually fly, I can latch this Traffic View Board onto it and just go along for the ride
