Nice one :-)

Just showing in the list rather than on the map I presume?

lambertw · April 09, 2009, 01:29:32 PM

Yes list only.

lambertw · April 09, 2009, 01:30:57 PM

From list.

If you do a manual database update using Database Explorer, and put the type in as LANC, there is a LANC.bmp silhouette in the RadarBox directory (I think that it's a "standard" silhouette).

Ok thanks for that Allocator.

What would be really nice would be for me to pick up the Lancaster ......... :-)

His two wing men have been active also

LF363 Huricane Nice to know this is back in the air after rebuild 31/03/09
AB910 Spitfire LFVb 01/04/09 Maybe 1st proving flights after winter maintenance

Just for info mode-s I know for BBMF (Not in supplied Database) are

43C38F = ZA247 DC3/C47
43C390 = LF363 HURI
43C391 = PZ865 HURI
43C392 = PA474 LANC
43C394 = AB910 SPIT
43C395 = MK356 SPIT
43C397 = PM631 SPIT

I can't find a mode-S for P7350 SPIT (43C393)?

That was reported in a radio magazine last year.

Any ideas as to what is assigned 43C396?

That one was missing from the list!!!

Thanks all.I have sillhouette already in data folder but it did not show on screen, was it because there was no aircraft id showing on screen.

EGNXR · April 09, 2009, 05:27:12 PM

43C396 Maybe PS915 SPIT is this aircraft still active? I've not seen it for a few years.

Edit PS915 still active but it does not answer the question about the mode-s

Probably because the aircraft type was autopopulated as "..."?

Do a manual update using Database Explorer and change the type to LANC

The silhouette is displayed based on the aircraft type, not the Flight ID.

Sorry, I did mean to say aircraft type.
