Sorry, no, I had not used the program. It seemed ideal and was
reported as a development effort that seemed to be working. But I may
know what the problem is...
When I installed the program, extracted the archive to a directory on
the hard drive, I ran the default setup and it showed the two DL
stations and G station on the map a hundred or more planes on the map
and the elevation map to show the common air space between the two
stations. So the default package is definitely running.
But when I set the locations to this continent, even the New England
area, I got no planes on the AirScout map. I've seen planes on the map
when I was running ADSBscope locally from my DVB-T dongle, so I know
they exist. And the FlightRadar24 web site shows planes around MSP
airport... (It reminds me of watching ant trails...)

So the problem most likely in AirScout, something to do with the
Internet feed from the FlightRadar24 URL..... I guess I'll try to
describe the problem and send it to the author and see what happens.
73, Doug.
