I wouldn't be too concerned about liveries. Our community has very talented people that are great at making these. That's the cool thing about this hobby, lots of enthusiasts that are eager to share their great work! 😍

first of all models are needed and when they are done the repainters can start working. After that is all done it would be great to have some kind of tool that will help adding repaints etc to the files that will assign installed aircrafts to the online aircrafts - so basically until it is released nothing we can do other then spaculate what will happen 😉

is actual confirmed that FA will use "live"-traffic?

Maybe I’m misremembering, but I think it was in a previous featured episode series, or maybe an interview, they said the live traffic was a combination of AI and tracking. I’m guessing taxing, take off and landing are all handled by the AI.

Theres a good chance I completely misunderstand all this but it seems to me that FlightAware isnt providing 'actual live data' but rather a prediction model based on real data.  You have to be online to use 'live flight data' so FA would create their Single Source of Truth predictions which would drive all AI aircraft.  You can't crash into them so the ATC just puts you in line and you follow instructions.  They don't just disappear or jump because its just a prediction of where an aircraft should be.

I have been noticing a spike in this aswell.

It's a relatively new option. I can't imagine why scheduled airlines would do this, but charters and corporate GA aircraft are certainly taking advantage of the feature. Miltary and police aircraft have always had the option available for obvious reasons.

I wonder what Homeland Security & the military think of live flight data....

Well for what it’s worth, flight aware doesn’t track military flights. Or at the very least they don’t display that data to the public.

There are other sites however that do track/display that data.

Thankfully flightradar24 does track (some) military aircraft, as in the last few days we've had both a Globemaster and an A400M doing touch-and-gos at EGBB and I've tracked those on FR24 and by eyeball from my garden.
