Save configuration is back

The automatic Configuration save introduced in 4.45 looked harmless. But it has many unintended consequences to users. So I decided to revert to manual Save configuration since 4.55.

Donate

Sometimes users write that they are satisfied with Tucnak and how they can contribute. So after 21 years I have created two options. Both are in the left sidebar. Of course, Tucnak remains free including source codes.

Two providers for Aircraft scatter

After some work, with a lot of help from Dave G1OGY, we have OpenSky feed. Because of low availability, I have modified the Firefox plugin for Planefinder. Please look at version 4.50. Not all perfect but, I hope, usable.
