Silhouettes and Dual View Silhouettes

[Roadrunner]

Rick,

Just to say a very big thank you for the duel views.

I am using them all (if type seen) and think they really do look good when shown in a program like Kelvin Cross's Mode S tweaker.

Look forward to further productions.

As, said Thank you so much.

Just to prove my point - a copy from the screen

Thanks for the feedback Mike! Really good to see them up on the screen. This has made my day.

Do feel free to request ones that I have not done yet and I will prioritise those over my current rough alphabetical approach.

Hi there

Thank you for all your excellent work on the Silhouettes.  I can't find one for the Extra NG so would really appreciate it if one could be added in the future.

Thanks in advance.

EXNG - I'll do that one next time I am doing a silhouette session.

Cheers

Mark - added EXNG for you and also did all the other EXTRA aircraft with ICAO type codes.

Rick,

Can I take you up on the offer as I have foiund a few types in my seen list that I cannot find silhouettes for either in the new Gallery  or the sets of logos I have locally on my PC. they er:-

A33P  CLDS  GB1  HIGH  TS1J P212.

There are plenty of coloured side viewsof these  but no actual silhouettes.

Best regards

Regards Mikes (Roadrunner) comments and Screen Shot, I have to say I'm with you on this Mike.
This is one thing I always thought Active Display lacked in having the extra Silhouette Field alongside the Flag &  Operator Feilds.
This would had help the new people that come into the SBS and Aircraft Spotting hobby in seeing the Silhouette of the Aircraft that might just be about to fly over their location.
New people into the hobby may not know what a DH82 or a A109 or Nynja 91-25 looks like these Silhouettes definetly help and also give you a heads up that the Aircraft using the Hex Code might be a new frame that needs Updating/Re-populated, as it's not the aircraft visually seen.

Hi Mike

Apologies for the delay in responding. I have been bringing two new receivers on line at remote locations and integrating them into my VRS setup and setting up feeds to many other websites.

I will do those ones that you have listed next time I am silhouetting.

A33P and GB1 were missing from my list (I am working from a list from 2019 as that is the most recent one I could find - the official ICAO website does not appear to have the ability to download a spreadsheet with all the info of the type codes in. If anyone is able to point me at a more recent list of official ICAO Type codes I would be most grateful)

Mike you do get some of the credit for the DV idea as you suggested it following on the from the "Thank you NHS" Spitfire sideview I made last year and for the on-going encouragement and support - thank you Mike.

All added to the gallery - Regular and D.V.

[Roadrunner]

Rick,

Thank you for the requests that you have just done for me.

I must say that it is I that should be thanking you for taking on this additional task.

Ally this to the addition of the Mode-S Tweaker program and all the other logos we have available to us it is now possible to see the fruits of peoples labours "In-situ" and therefor, find any "missing" entries on our databases.

I am so glad I am into this hobby - My wife calls it my life support system!

Best regards

Mike

Hi Mike

As always, glad that you like them.

I'll get on to those DVs you requested for the next batch - if any others are missing that you need do let me know as there are approx 400 for which I have done Silhouettes, but not Dual Views. Once I get to the Z's I'll go back and fill in the missing ones, where I can. In the mean time ask away!
