I think the problem for a european flighttracker is the fact that the national ATC services are not compatible. If memory serves well , there are about 37 sytems/services all over Europe , compared to the USA were 4 major ATC centers control the whole country

In comparision with the UK, almost no acars logs are posted from Germany-France-Spain-...

Very sad if you ask me.

Flight trackers are indeed very nice tools...
