VitaFlightRadar V2.5

✈️ VitaFlightRadar V2.5

Current recommended release for both PS Vita PCH-1000 FAT/OLED and PCH-2000 Slim.

Highlights

• Remembers the last map location and zoom between launches
• Dedicated TRACK FLIGHT control
• Tracking remains locked while zooming
• Keeps the last known tracked aircraft visible during temporary feed loss
• Protects valid route/timetable information from temporary failed refreshes
• Compass shows the selected aircraft's actual heading
• More resilient multi-source flight search
• Improved satellite-map caching, loading continuity and image consistency
• Automatic live-aircraft refresh approximately every 4 seconds

Compatibility

Start with V2.5 on either Vita model. If you encounter issues, V2.0 remains available as a stable fallback and V1.9.3 remains available as a compatibility fallback.

VitaFlightRadar is an unofficial hobby/homebrew project. Live aircraft and timetable data may be incomplete or delayed. Do not use it for safety-critical aviation purposes.

VitaFlightRadar V2.0 - Stable Fallback

🛟 VitaFlightRadar V2.0

Stable fallback release for both PS Vita PCH-1000 FAT/OLED and PCH-2000 Slim.

V2.0 is intentionally kept available for users who experience problems with V2.5.

Highlights

• Triangle Search Hub
• Coordinate search with three recent saved locations
• Flight-number / callsign search
• Automatic flight-follow behavior
• Touchscreen and D-pad menu controls
• Satellite map with panning and pinch zoom
