Monthly zip files & SQB updates

[s92driver]

In addition to posting any new images as they are produced, I also produce a monthly zip file of all images.  I am very conscious that having too many images can cause issues, so as images are no longer required I will remove them.  By using the zip files, you can be assured that you only have images that will be used.

I am now producing a monthly subset of images, which capture only the generic aircraft images.  These can be used by Basestation and VRS as "silhouettes", in lieu of the plain black silhouettes.  Note that these images are already in the Side View zip file described above.

One of the biggest "pains" with using bespoke images is keeping the SQB file modified to capture and display the correct images.  I've automated this by writing 1000's of lines of SQLite script.  I use the script to produce an SQB that is up to date and also has the correct OperatorFlagCode against each aircraft to show the correct image.  This SQB also contains 1000s of miscodes and also ground based vehicle and ATC radar "test" codes.  It works seamlessly with Basestation and VRS.

Finally I can offer a monthly update process.  If you wish to keep your existing SQB but would like to simply update your SQB so that your historic "flight" information is retained, then I can update your SQB with the latest information.  I have been doing this successfully for a few users for the last 6 months,  so this is a proven process.

If you'd be interested in me updating your SQB, send me a message.  Click on my forum name and you will find an email address in my Profile.

Leave a reply if you've any questions of suggestions.
