WebEye 5.0

A redesigned map with animated traffic, detailed airport layouts, runway guidance and flight-plan route previews.

WebEye 5.0 introduces a redesigned interface for exploring IVAO’s live traffic, with map tools and detailed information panels in one place.

  • Find flights, controllers and airports using the new map-search palette.
  • Filter traffic by aircraft type, airline, callsign, departure or arrival airport, and altitude.
  • Use dedicated filters for friends, military flights and World Tour traffic.
  • Access zoom, settings and track controls from the map toolbar.

Aircraft and Routes

  • Aircraft and tracks can now animate between position updates. This beta feature interpolates updates received every 15 seconds; it does not show real-time simulator movement.
  • Switch animation on or off, with automatic pausing on slower devices and an option to keep it running.
  • Preview an aircraft’s filed route by hovering over it or selecting it, including sections before and after its current position.
  • Route previews use navigation data updated with the monthly AIRAC cycle. Routes using older waypoints may differ from the current data.

Airports and Runways

  • Zoom in to see runways, taxiways, aprons, buildings, stands and holding points, together with aircraft on the ground. Airport layouts can be hidden from the layer settings.
  • Runway overlays distinguish arrivals in green, departures in amber and combined use in cyan. Wind-based estimates are marked in blue with WX labels.
  • Controller ATIS takes priority for runway information, followed by Auto ATIS and then an estimate based on the latest METAR wind.
  • Extend runway centrelines from 1 to 15 NM, with markers every nautical mile. Runway highlights and centrelines can be switched on independently.
  • Airport runway details now show headwind or tailwind, crosswind direction and gust components when available. Wind-based suggestions do not replace local airport procedures.

ATC and Flight Planning

  • View ATC bookings up to 24 hours ahead to help plan flights around controller availability.
  • When no controller ATIS is available, Auto ATIS can supply runway guidance for airports with traffic.
  • Auto ATIS runway guidance uses dashed markings and AUTO labels to distinguish it from controller-confirmed information.

Details and Appearance

  • Open flight, controller, airport and booking details without leaving the map.
  • Customise aircraft icons and labels, air traffic control outlines and airport appearance.
  • Choose from more than 70 settings for layers, colours, appearance, feature visibility and general preferences in the reorganised settings panel.
