Hey!
When I first made my DVB-T radar I wanted to add more details about the aircraft but there weren't any/any free ways to get that data openly. Using a BaseStation.sqb database I found somewhere online I made something that will allow you to do what I wasn't. I don't know if there is anything available now but anyway I made this:

Thanks for sharing this.

Does this work for all allocated hex codes for all countries?

The database isn't very up to date but it does work for most airlines/countries slightly older fleet. If somebody could send me an updated BaseStation.sqb I will update the website with it.

Hi Josh

I just finished the Matt Dyson FlightPi project and got it up and running.
Unfortunately the url was outdated in the FlightDetails.py which gave an error.
Through searching the commits on his github i came across the FlightDetails file with (Thanks to 'joshuadouch' for the API - https://radarspotting.com/forum/index.php?topic=6117.0)
I went to the link and copied the info required to remove the error in FlightPI.
This worked first time .
So i thank you for making the data available .

Would you like an up to date Basestation.sqb from my 24/7 SBS1-ER setuphere in Aberdeen,Scotland,UK

Kind Regards
Graeme

Hi Josh,
            I have for sometime now been trying to find a way to populate Field 13 (Generic Name) on my BaseStation (now using a FlightAware dongle) with Routes. I suspect that another .sqb file might be required but I am interested to learn how you have managed to achieve this. 

Do the routes populate both in your BaseStation's  Aircraft and on screen?


                   Brgds,

                            Andos.

Hey guys!

I didn't realise how much this was used.

I have just updated all of the databases and moved it onto its own box. I plan on maintaining this monthly in line with new database releases.

Enjoy!
