New Flags / D.008 file required

[MIKE.UTD]

Hi,

Normally tarbat has these but recently a lot of new Russian a/c registered VP-,VQ-, etc are coming up with a British flag instead of the cayman/bermuda flag.

So does anyone have  a new DAT008 file to change the flags over ?

Thanks

Mike.

All I can do is take the latest countries.dat file from sbs-resources, and generate the equivalent D008.dat file.  I've done that, although the date on the sbs-resources countries file dates back to 14-Apr-2010.  Do you know of a more recent countries.dat file?

All this file does is add these three lines:
AW,Aruba_P4-SBR,010010000100001101001001
NL,Netherlands,0100100001000010--------
NY,New Zealand Mil,1100100001111111--------

Flags can be found at:

And some missing flags at:

Mike, what are the ModeS hex codes of these Russian aircraft?

Mike, what are the ModeS hex codes of these Russian aircraft?

It is the VQ-B series.  It is in the 4249** range.  VQ-BZZ is already allocated out-of-sequence and is hex 424986

It is the VQ-B series.  It is in the 4249** range.

Okay.  If you want to add a line to cover aircraft in the 4249xx range, then this is the line to use:
For Bermuda Flag
BM,Bermuda_16,0100001001001001--------

For Cayman Islands Flag
AI,Cayman Islands_12,0100001001001001--------

I can't vouch for the accuracy of this, since I don't know if these codes have been "officially" allocated.

[ACW367]

Yes Tarbat the codes are official.  The Bermudan and Cayman codes are subsections of the batch of codes allocated to the UK CAA (400000 to 43FFFF).  I have seen the CAA document through work that allocates this batch for Bermdan use.  However it is not online.

Updated D008.dat file attached, to include the line:
BM,Bermuda_16,0100001001001001--------

Hi,

Sorry for delay but it's as ACW has already said.

Thanks again tarbat for the good work.

Mike.
