After seeing the Dashboard in OSX in action.. I've gotta say, the flight tracker is an excellent widget which isn't available in any form for windows (Either as a Konfabulator Widget, Desktopx (Object/Widget).

Now I know a plugin wouldn't be able to replicate what the flight tracker does in dashboard but something simple which allows you to add flight #'s and have it scroll along on the launch bar would be good enough imo.

Plugin should allow you to add multiple entries and just scroll them across and once they land, they expire after a certain period of time.

I guess the weather plugin could be modified to do this like it has for stocks and other stuff?

<!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.flightarrivals.com">www.flightarrivals.com</a><!-- w --> is good tracking site and even displays the flights speed, original arrival time, new arrival time, and much more.

I'd prefer one for the <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.gtaa.com">www.gtaa.com</a><!-- w --> which is the toronto airport but obviously thats limited to people in toronto Wink

Right at the moment a plugin can be made to display the same information as on a web page in whatever order one pleases. This plugin can be set to refresh every n minutes as well. Hopefully soon Yuri will be releasing a beta of his Universal Data Fetcher. In the meantime is there a preference that you have as to which page at <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.flightarrivals.com">www.flightarrivals.com</a><!-- w --> or <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.gtaa.com">www.gtaa.com</a><!-- w --> you would like?

This Page at the GTAA shows the complete flight arrival listing for all airlines for that day (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.gtaa.com/index.aspx?Sid=Node4&Tpl=2&ARRDEP=A&FLIGHT=&AIRLINE=&TERMINAL=0&submit.x=42&submit.y=9">http://www.gtaa.com/index.aspx?Sid=Node ... submit.y=9</a><!-- m -->)

Its definately a better page for myself as american based flight trackers can't and don't show Cuba flights which alot of our customers vacation to.. Wink
