locate stations using online transceivers #7

Closed dneuge closed 3 years ago

dneuge commented 3 years ago

Using the online transceivers list is now the official way to calculate a location for stations:

Parser should be added to dataformats-vatsim-public, then fetched by the proxy. Default URL is indicated in JSON NetworkInformation (misidentified as a data file, unversioned) and fetch interval is supposed to be the same as for data files.

When implementing, the minimum fetch interval indicated by last received DataFile should be used to as default cache lifetime for the transceivers file.

Configuration options to decide localization of observers and override URL & cache time have already been prepared. Strategies have also been prepared. Implementation of actual feature still needs to be done.
