I normally use FlightAware.com for U.S. flights, but they don't allow for flight info outside the US boundaries. My question: Is there a resource, web site, etc that will provide a realistic flight plan with Long & Lat coordinates???What I need is Longitude & Latitude coordinates for each waypoint across the Atlantic ocean (North Atlantic Tracks). With these I can develop a flight plan for the trip using the Route Editor utility which I use for producing realistic flight plans.With the appropriate Long & Lat coordinates for this flight I can make it as realistic as possible.Thanks for any assistance,Paul"

I tried to google it (could find it this time) but there used to be a website with a updated wealth of knowlege and stats about all things aviation ACARS/HF/Datalink stuff. I just wish I knew the address for it. It had great stats on the number of ACARS messages downlinked, uplinked, how may had errors, etc etc. It would have been great to provide that info to those interested in this thread.I know the site must be somewhere on the net still :(Subs

If anyone is interested, and for future reference, I came across the website mentioned above. It goes into great detail about Datalink and it's a good read (the bits you can actually understand) ;)http://members.optusnet.com.au/~cjr/There is also a statistics section here: http://members.optusnet.com.au/~cjr/Performance.htmGreat stuff :)Subs

And while we're at it, here is the website for the AUSOTS flex tracks that Airservices Australia publish daily:http://www.airservicesaustralia.com/custom.../text.asp?ver=1Some of those are even domestic tracks that route over Australia itself rather than remote ocean areas.Subs
