New Silhouettes

RodBearden · July 14, 2015, 09:56:39 AM

Hi Dave

I don't really do conventional silhouettes. Also, the Cessna Scorpion doesn't have an ICAO code, so is in the database as ZZZZ, so all other uncoded aircraft with a ZZZ code would show the same silhouette.

Hello Werner and welcome to the forum.

Two points - first, yes, the specification for silhouettes is 68x16px BMP file, but 76x16px works fine, so that's what I do.

Second - only one of the codes you mention is valid - G200 for the Akrotech/Giles G-200, whatever that is! I use the official ICAO site to check the codes: http://www.icao.int/publications/DOC8643/Pages/Search.aspx
There are many valid codes that we haven't got any silhouettes for, but that's mainly because the aircraft type doesn't fly anywhere that they can be picked up, or that they don't appear on RadarBox anyway - perhaps because they don't have electrical systems or, at least, mode-S transmitters.

Hope that helps.

Rod/Werner,

I believe the codes given are ones made up by enthusiasts and below is my interpretation of these codes to what they should be on the official ICAO code list. The may help you Werner.

CL65 - CL60
CL85 - CRJ2
E175 - E170
E195 - E190
G200 - GALX
G450 - GLF4
G550 - GLF5
G650 - GLF6
F2LX - F2TH
GL6T - GLEX (Global 6000)
H750 - no idea
H900 - no idea
