It appears that some of the colors aren't matching up. Take a look what I setup for ZOA. I don't really know what is causing some planes to show in the proper colors, and others not to.

Yes, saw your post.. the data is processing right now as we speak.. when I get home from work in ~1.5 hours it'll be captured and rendered and be posted for view.

Awesome, thanks!

Streaming Norcal Approach (SERFR/BSR and BDEGA/GOLDN arrivals).

Do you need the request beforehand?

Try to fly during events, as you will be guaranteed ATC then. There are usually 1-3 big VATUSA events every week (checkout the calendar linked at the top).
I also suggest flying to places with controllers that just logged on, as there is a higher chance they will remain on than the 4+ hour wiped out Center controller.

I said, yes, this is the most difficult thing out of everything I do there.

Congrats Krikor. May your events be filled with good traffic, and grilled cookies

Here's another fun one in ZBW's airspace.
